    WiFi and Bluetooth disable every time I go into tablet mode, and there's about a 2-3 second delay between when I go into tablet mode and when they stop working. This is from a software level, as I'm able to get WiFi and Bluetooth back via rfkill. I tried using this github script, which can detect when a 2-in-1 is in tablet mode, to auto-reenable WiFi and BT when my laptop switched states. This ended up not working, due to the aforementioned delay. I ended up creating a script to always run in the background, that constantly runs "rfkill enable wlan" and "rfkill enable bluetooth". I'm not too thrilled with this solution as it prevents me from disabling WiFi and Bluetooth manually (not to mention that it takes a good 3-4 seconds for the script to kick in)

    As someone who has looked at Shoes several times but never dove in, it's confusing how Shoes 4 has been the "preview version" of Shoes for, like, a decade or more. It made me actively avoid getting invested in Shoes 3 (the release promoted on the linked website) because Shoes 4 requires JRuby and I am happy with CRuby (the Ruby interpreter most people think of when they hear "Ruby").

    http://www.rubydoc.info/github/shoes/shoes4

    No disrespect to the developers but to me it feels like taking over a GUI toolkit created "to teach programming to everyone" (to quote the Shoes 4 readme) and making it depend upon a super-complicated enterprise-focused Ruby was sort of Missing The Pointโ„ข in a huge way.

    Heck I couldn't even switch to JRuby if I wanted to because I <3 Ractors and JRuby still lacks CRuby 3.0 feature parity: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/7459
