I have just discovered Sidebery, the Firefox addon for vertical tabs, now has a small difference in behaviour: when clicking the tab for the page which already has focus instead of reaffirming this is the page I want focused it will switch to the previously focused tab. In this way I can quickly toggle between the two last tabs.
I'm conflicted about this.
Must be a new update; on mine clicking the active tab does nothing.
Seems like it was introduced with v5.0.0, yes.
It's also optional:

Exactly. In this context, it is describing what SharePoint is Ngl not.

They are omitted from what exactly? A JSON object or array?
Omitting from the former is at least somewhat reasonable, as long as you interpret the schema as meaning that the pair is optional instead of mandatory-but-nullable.

The array of objects.
But it's still ridiculous because apparently in Power Automate you're supposed to use "example data" to build the schema for parsing( ) which inevitably means you're using one of said objects for the basis, so the absence of a property just because the underlying schema (which I'm not entirely sure if you're allowed to query in the API? Haven't tried, don't know, really don't want to have to care) marked it "optional" is an antipattern in my opinion.
Every step I take on this damn journey with Power Automate reeks of the history of stupid decisions they were built on.

Schema-by-example is difficult, yes, at least once you go beyond the simplest of setups. That is why we have explicit schemas, even if they do take some learning to read and write.

The crack security team, who bungled ssl certs so badly that if you ignore cert errors you can still communicate with the servers, want a walkthrough of the code.

Replacement item ordered from a different shop arrived damaged, arguably even worse than the copy it was supposed to replace. On the upside, the original place is supposedly willing find me another buyer and refund in full if I cover shipping when it sells. Acceptable.
Also some Target shipments arrived. I had ordered three sets of five identically packaged items as part of a sale. Each set came in a differently sized and shaped box. :but_why: Oh well, at least no damages.

Which makes sense--if the phone drops from wifi to 5g (or goes the other way) or is otherwise having network issues outside the application layer, anything using UDP sockets will have...issues. And probably needs to remake its connection. Which is exactly what it's doing.
Not particularly reproducible on demand without shenanigans, and hard to make sure it's only that...but at least it doesn't seem (this time!) to be my fault.

TCP sockets will have the same issues... except they have the context and buffers to rebuild the route behind the scenes without losing data so you just see it as slowdown. Unless the IP address changes, either of the endpoint device or what it is NATted as by the ISP. This is why apps use more complex application-level message buses.

Which it will if the wifi it is switching to/from is your home or office wifi (or just about any other wifi not run by your mobile ISP)

Status: Returning something with the "pickup by Intelcom" option. This morning the tracking status updated to "It will be picked up sometime before 9 pm". I wish it was more specific, but that's fine.
A few minutes ago, I got a text message that started out promising, "Your return is scheduled for pickup..." but still just says "today." Shortly after that, I got an email with subject line "We're on the way to pick up your return" and even including the name of the driver. But still, unlike deliveries where they give a three hour window, this one just says it'll be "during the day"

Times must be really tough if they're now branching out into delivery business. I guess, just don't trust with your package

@Applied-Mediocrity Unlike the real Intel, these guys leave your package outside.
Actually, that just made me realize another thing. Why do I get a three hour window for when they'll leave the thing outside my door, while the pickup that actually requires me to physically answer the door and hand the box to the driver is "any time before 9 pm"
