They no longer use it.
Is there a source or proof on that? Or is it just that you didn’t find it right now on their website?
The big drama was during their “2026 sale”, where they used GenAI promotional art for the event. They also seem to have refused to confirm using GenAI, and at the time made no promise/commitment to stop.
In this case Hanlon’s Razor might be more relevant ;D
It’s really frustrating. Many years ago, my older brother helped me get a new GPU, buying it from a nice online store. Some years later I used it when buying hardware and it was so good compared to all the established stores, instead of pushing promos everywhere it made it easy to browse, find and buy products, because oh god are those big stores shitty. Just having a responsive website with filters, reasonable element sizing and a straightforward checkout process stands out.
A few years after that, when I used it again, noticed something peculiar, as they added lootboxes. And I don’t mean physical surprise boxes or something, they added digital lootboxes to get random discounts on products, with a premium subscription that gets you a better pool of discounts. That is a level of “what the fuck” that’s just stunning. And they might still have the best service, which combined with inertia of it being my goto store makes things rather difficult.
I’m guessing there’s more extreme errors than this example, but for “bat” and “car”, “b” is two keys to the right from “c” and “t” is one letter to the right from “r”, so that one seems plausible to typo.
In the movie “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” there’s a scene where a robot kid’s face starts drooping, like sliding off the frame or something, and that really got me.
I know it’s not everything, because recently a relative bought a pan without checking and only realized when it was on the stove and refused to work :P
It’s not a big deal, but not something I’d ignore, since it’s a real downside specific to induction.
The main downside is that your pots and pans need to be compatible. In particular we have a few nice small pans, like actually small, and they work exclusively on the front left burner, and need to be a bit off center. I imagine there’s something wrong with the stove or the pans, but it’s a class of issues you don’t have with resistive or gas stoves.
From what I know, gas is not the slowest, at least in the US which uses 120V. I think induction can still match or beat it, but resistive electric is worse?
Gotta restart when updating, I want that new kernel and services!
That sounds like it might be a hardware-specific problem, I occasionally have to wait before my PC starts booting properly, which is presumably RAM training or something, but that’s more of a “once in a couple months” thing, otherwise it just boots straight up?
6 seconds isn’t really “so quick”, but I also never had a problem with it.
Ah, yes, I should judge the browser by whether it strips arbitrary query parameters from links by default, because there’s no way that’ll break something, and if it uses encrypted DNS by default when… “connecting from Brazil”, because that’s definitely a good test of a browser.
Jet says the following
If you want https it’s gotta be a external DNS record anyway, might as well point to internal ips
My point is, the A record, the one pointing to an IP address, doesn’t need to be public/external, it’s not needed for the wildcard cert, so it can be kept internal.
I’m mentioning the other challenge trying to make it clear why the record matters for that, and not for a wildcard cert, sorry if that just made things more confusing.
Perhaps a better analogy is a painter who has no idea what their canvas is made out of; they know it’s a canvas, they know it’s for painting, they’re faintly aware they’re using some material stretched over a frame, but they just assumed a canvas is a canvas and they just never considered there might be other options than the one they’ve been getting.
The point is, the challenge doesn’t require a public DNS A record pointing to your IP, it’s not involved in issuing a wildcard certificate. It requires you to control DNS records for the domain to issue a temporary TXT or something record to prove it, one which you can remove afterwards. This was my point in the original comment.
It’s A and AAAA records that are used when you open a website in a browser to map the domain to an IP address, the ones I’m saying don’t need to be public.
The challenge dosent require your site to be public only the DNS to be public.
And just to be clear, that was describing a different kind of challenge, the simpler one which most people probably use, and which does actually involve A records.
I’m a bit confused by what you’re saying, because to my knowledge the DNS entry you’re mentioning won’t help with getting a certificate at all. Challenges will typically require either having the DNS entry point to a publicly reachable website (doesn’t get you wildcard) or proving the ability to modify records for the domain by adding something like a TXT record on the fly, which shouldn’t require A/AAAA records.
So you should be able to do the second type of challenge without a global A record to get a wildcard certificate, and use local DNS for the A record?
I imagine the two problems are cost and… People seeing lactose-free as unmanly or some bullshit and losing them customers?
you had better be 100% fucking sure about the rules
Generally true, but I have the impression YouTube has a history of being inconsistent with rules and punishing innocent creators, which would make it difficult to have any idea what the rules are.
The post doesn’t say anything about feasibility/safety, so unless you can find dragon tamers for hire and a dragon-proof construction company, you’d likely end up dead and/or with an escaped dragon.
Also, it was about any pet in the world, so I guess that requires dragons to exist somewhere, sounds like a gamble on if they do…
I’d hope it’s on every update (from the screenshot in article seems like last 7 days also works), so they can’t expect the devs to do long testing on small bugfixes.
But also devs will probably do most of the testing outside of steam.
