Hey future me, when loading your Unreal solution are you getting the error:
Cannot load project with duplicated project items: MicrosoftGame.Config is included as 'MGCCompile' and as 'MGCCompile' item types.
It means you closed your Visual Studio solution on a special platform which can’t open the solution again. You don’t need to reinstall the SDK! Just change the platform back to Win64 and restart the solution.
Do you still have a Yahoo Mail account for some reason like I do and/or are you a masochist? Did you think that search for emails was irredeemably broken for years?
Well it turns out you can actually search!
You just have to go back to “Classic Yahoo Mail”, which is the email that “totally doesn’t look like they just tried to copy Gmail” in 2017. I just silently bemoaned how terrible the Yahoo Mail search was, never thinking that the old interface would allow it to inexplicably work.
Your email searches will work again! Amazing! I found that receipt from 2010 I needed to try and restore my Minecraft account for a 10 year old to play! They did not accept my paypal receipt.
“Privacy mode has encountered a display error and is inactive. Try reconnecting, otherwise contact us if this message persists.”
Hey, you! Or few-weeks-ago-me! Are you using Parsec and are plagued with the red privacy mode icon? Does privacy mode look like it’s not even enabled?
That means your Parsec configuration file has some leftover configuration, possibly from a different login or SAML login. Open your host configuration file from the settings and add # before any lines you see about virtual displays and privacy mode (this disables those lines), save the file, restart Parsec on the host and… you should be safe from this red-eyed peril.

my being ever so mildly annoyed looking at that eye for weeks before deciding to actually investigate and fix it because nothing was coming up when I googled for it
