That is not leadership.
Praise the person for the job done.
Don't passively criticize the rest of the team.
I didn't like managing people, but I could lead them.

I guess that is the part I was misunderstanding in you original post. The boss praised you publicly, which is something most employees appreciate. In fact, appreciation rates higher with most employees than pay increases. So, your original assessment that the boss should not praise had me confused. "Now I know whom to call when we get an issue" is not the best phrasing, however, for such praise. It can certainly be thought of as belittlement, and perhaps was intended as such. Indeed, depending on how long the group had been stuck, it may be entirely accurate. Nonetheless, it is not the way I would have phrased it.
BUT, you cannot control how the boss handled the situation. You can only control how YOU handle the situation.
It is relatively easy to change from being the enemy to being a good friend. If you waltz into a situation, solve the problem, and waltz out, then the enemy status isn't caused by the boss: that status was because you didn't become involved. If on the other hand, you worked side-by-side, in the trenches with the others, if once you spotted the problem and the solution, you showed the team members what the problem/solution was and, more importantly, HOW you were able to determine that problem/solution, you are no longer the enemy. Regardless of what the boss says, you will be the "helpful guy", willing to share all of your knowledge, helping to boost everyone higher. Make sure when you are publicly praised, you say thank you but that it was truly a group effort and without the collective effort of the ENTIRE team the problem would not have been solved.

My interpretation - your comment 'how little the fix technique' would make me wonder why the team was so incompetent they didn't find it themselves.

It's a little one , but finding that was tricky. I just chose to stay humble by calling it simple. Team definitely knows how much of their debugging time was saved.

I like the idea of these. I like journalling and taking notes. Yet the whole 30 day warranty has me a bit wigged out?
Electronic Notebook
Not really tempted at all. Considering the moleskin, which I do not use, only costs $10. and the knock off, which I do use, costs half that.
Take a picture with my phone put into OneNote (and/or Evernote if you prefer) and you are good to go.

Cool I guess, but why? I'll just stick with my Samsung Note8...no scanning or wiping involved and one less thing to carry.

$22.50 each? At that price the 30 day warranty doesn't even enter my mind as if they last 6 months I'd be happy. If they last less than 30 days I'd consider it a poor product and never buy them again.
Looks like the real magic is the app and cloud sync. How much does that cost? If it is free, how are they staying in business? Because it must be by selling new notebooks.

But there is an app where you take a picture of the page, it processes it, depending on which boxes you've got marked it uploads it to various services, etc.

My wife asked what all the different icons meant on CP, and when we got to the "protector" icon, she asked why I wasn't a protector.
I told her, "Protectors keep CP out of harm's way. I *am* harm's way."
She smiled, nodded in agreement, and backed slowly out of the room.

If she is your wife, she can (Probably, Maybe, possibly) handle you.
so she should have the protector badge probably.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

She knows when she can talk me down, and when she shouldn't even try.
