Nowadays all I get is AI slop articles about "other ways to cook eggs".

EDIT: Managed to solve this issue, and I like the way the comment section has gone nuts.

You'd probably have 100% success rate if you put eggs in when the water is boiling. And pour the hot water out before pouring cold water in, for a better cold shock. This certainly improved things for me.

    If I had a wire basket to transition thr eggs into boiling and from boiling to ice I would, just haven't gotten around to getting one.

    Eh, I do without any such thing: gently chucking the eggs in by hand one by one, and afterwards just pouring out the water while holding the pot to the edge of the sink to keep the eggs in. Though once in a while fancy takes me and I use a big serving spoon to lower the eggs.
