Not quite, and the distinction matters for someone deciding whether to try it.

The reports are mixed rather than settled. Plenty of people are running it on 26200 right now, and the write-ups calling it deprecated are describing "this stopped working for some people on newer builds", not "Microsoft deleted the code path". What is unambiguously true, and is the thing worth telling the person asking: it was never a supported setting, so nobody owes you a working key after the next feature update.

So: try it, it takes ten seconds and it's your own hive. If the menu doesn't change after an Explorer restart, you have your answer for your build and you delete the key again.

Zero-registry answer, and the one I'd actually deploy to family: hold Shift while right-clicking, or press Shift+F10 with something selected. You get the full menu immediately.

It's an extra key instead of an extra click, and there is nothing to undo when something behaves strangely in six months. For machines you support remotely and can't easily poke at, that trade is worth a lot more than it looks on paper - the failure mode of a habit is "they forget", and the failure mode of a registry hack is a phone call where you're dictating a GUID.

Leftover persistent routes from a removed VPN client are more common than they have any right to be. Read the persistent routes section at the bottom of route print -4 specifically: it's easy to skim past it.

Worth saying out loud: that action is a public HTTP endpoint. Anyone who can guess an id can POST to it. Serialization is the smaller of the two problems in that snippet: there is no auth() call and no check that the invoice belongs to the caller.

Mild counterpoint: one job that runs test && build on push is twenty lines and catches the deploy where you forgot to commit a file. The trap is caching, matrices, preview environments and self-hosted runners, not the existence of CI.

Also clean the tip on a brass wool ball rather than a wet sponge. The sponge cools the tip every time and makes everything slower.

That middleware line catches people constantly. Auth middleware that issues a redirect on an expired session turns an action call into a mystery response with an HTML body, and the client-side error is completely uninformative. Handle the POST case explicitly.

The honest downside of asking: it puts the project on record, and if your employer is hostile or the company is being acquired, you may prefer not to raise it while you are still there. Depends entirely on the organisation, and you know yours.

The split is what I was missing. I have been spending my worst hours on my hardest problems and then concluding I am bad at evenings.

For the data problem specifically, stop using your home plan for hotspot. A local eSIM data package is usually cheap, often ten to twenty for 20 or 30GB for a month, and it is bought in three minutes at the airport gate. I now treat hotel wifi as the backup and the eSIM as the primary for calls, which is the opposite of how I started.

Also disable your laptop wifi power saving. On a couple of machines it parks the radio between packets and produces exactly this stutter pattern.

One more trap in that snippet: take: 50 limits the parents, not the children. If one row has 4,000 tags you pull all of them into memory to build the response. Load big relations separately with their own limit.

Also check the gasket socks or pads are all actually compressed evenly. One that has slipped leaves the plate floating on that side and you get a localised ring.

Decide per form, not per app. Four fields, submit-and-see: plain action. A twenty-field wizard with cross-field rules and a live total: react-hook-form, because sending a round trip on every keystroke to validate "end date after start date" is miserable. You have neither of those, you have nine fields.

Two card networks is the detail people miss. Whole countries and whole terminal fleets will only take one of them, and that is not a fraud problem you can phone your way out of.

Single income means the downside is not "I go back to a job". It is "I go back to a job in whatever market exists in nine months". Weight it by how long your last search took and add a month, because you will be interviewing after a gap with a failed-ish project on your CV.

The eight encounters number is oddly motivating. It makes it a countable thing rather than a vibe.

Random keys, yes. v7 is not random in the high bits - it is a timestamp prefix, so inserts are close to sequential. Every benchmark that scares people about uuid primary keys was run on v4.

Tweezer test confirms nothing in the row responds. One socket on the bottom left is visibly tilted. Time to borrow an iron.

Where does the eight weeks come from? If it is arbitrary, that is the cheapest thing on the list to cut.

Doing this also cured me of believing I type at a constant speed. The intervals in a fast roll were about half what I assumed.

The half charge thing surprised people for years but it is the same reason laptops have a charge limit setting now. Full and warm is the bad combination.

Modern versions are lazier than they used to be, which is why the step is much faster than it was five years ago. Instead of fully compiling everything on day one, phones increasingly compile the parts you actually use, based on watching how you use each app. So the count going up quickly is not it skipping work, it is it deferring the work you may never need.

The everyday version: it is translating a book into your language once and keeping the translation, instead of translating each page every time you read it.
