Thank you, @badabing2003, @BROKEN1981, @Lughnasadh. I have been an XDA member since 2008. I come back to this thread each time because it has been one of the most helpful and friendly thread that I've seen--I appreciate the people here. Thanks for @roirraW "edor" ehT for staring it.

Platform-Tools v34.0.4 (#2): Zip file is definitely different than the previous release of 34.0.4.

Edit #4: Every single one of the files are different than the ones from the previous release of 34.0.4.

No change to the changelog yet (from what it already said about the first release of 34.0.4).

Edit 5: Version number of ADB and Fastboot still remain the exact same, too:

E:\PF3404\#1>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 34.0.4-10411341
Installed as E:\PF3404\#1\adb.exe
Running on Windows 10.0.19044

E:\PF3404\#1>fastboot --version
fastboot version 34.0.4-10411341
Installed as E:\PF3404\#1\fastboot.exe

E:\PF3404\#1>cd ..\#2

E:\PF3404\#2>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 34.0.4-10411341
Installed as E:\PF3404\#2\adb.exe
Running on Windows 10.0.19044

E:\PF3404\#2>fastboot --version
fastboot version 34.0.4-10411341
Installed as E:\PF3404\#2\fastboot.exe

Edit 6: Slight change in file sizes - and the latest package extracted with a non-2007 (2008 depending on time zone) file date (!). Weird. I extracted both with 7-Zip ("Extract Here"). I confirmed, the files inside the #2 zip, when viewed within 7-Zip, have the newer file date.:

They actually posted release notes for the broken Platform-Tools v34.0.4 after not too long a time:

34.0.4 (July 2023)​

• adb
  • Propagate -a (gListenAll) when adb forks an adb host server (previously, the flag only worked for adb -a server nodaemon)
  • Faster root and unroot
  • Reland Flag(env) guarding clear endpoint (device) feature for OSX usb start. (issue #270205252).
• fastboot
  • Mac: remove retries on invalid IO iterator (flashing failure with LIBUSB_TRANSFER_CANCELLED)
  • Windows: fix "Sparse file is too large or invalid" when using "flashall"
  • All platforms: fix "ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set" when using "update"

Caution!
Android 14 Beta 4 can NOT be fastboot-flashed on Pixel 6 with v34.04
Had to revert to r33.0.3

Will they ever get it right?
