Also, to be clear, I get that mistakes happen. That's not the issue here. But given that you're owned by a big company now, there should be an easy way to report such things....

@wirecutter Hmm, I guess the answer is "I don't". Now to see if I can return the thing I bought and how much shipping cost I'm eating. :( Funnily enough, y'all's postal mail address is there. :) Maybe I'll drop you a physical letter....

.@wirecutter How do I actually email y'all? I bought a product based on an inaccurate review of yours, and wanted to drop a mail, but "Email us here" at nytimes.com/wirecutter/con… just goes to a page that wants to sell me a subscription. :(

@pobox Aha, thank you! Right now there's nobody specific, but I've plugged your services in the past, and with so many online services shutting down or limiting offerings lately, I was worried y'all were another one. Glad to hear I was wrong :)

@pobox Hi! I went to sign into my account and accidentally hit "sign up". Saw that new signups are currently unavailable. Is that a temporary thing? I already have an account, but your is great and it would be sad if I couldn't recommend y'all to new users.

Hey @borg_base, do y'all support auto-renewal for PayPal payments, or just for direct credit card payments? (I don't love PayPal, but it's a useful abstraction layer that makes managing recurring payments for online services a bit easier....)

@Wizards_Help I understand that tickets take time to process, but honestly best practices these days would be a customer-accessible deletion button in the Web app itself. Since that doesn't exist, I would assume processing a personal information deletion ticket would be routine and quick.

.@Wizards_Help I'd DM you, but your profile doesn't seem to allow it... so could I get an expected resolution time on ticket #3081285, where I'm requesting deletion of my D&D Beyond account? I've supplied all verification info requested, but not heard back.

Did You Know: You can make roughly 180 gold in an in-game hour by chopping wood? That is enough money to cover the rent at an inn like the Sleeping Giant for eighteen days.

@DnDBeyond There's only one question that matters: Is WotC going to honor the commitment to openness it made via the OGL 1.0a (some wonderful historical quotes in opendnd.games/trust-and-betr…), or are they going to try and force a new license that's "open" in name only down our throats?

@GIGABYTEServer @LinusTech Any chance this mobo will hit retail channels any time soon? It seems like I'd be ideal for a lot of home server/homelab use cases.

Hey @Namecheap, love your products, but your SRV record editing UI is broken for subdomains. I filed a ticket, but did more searching and realized folks have been reporting this for *years*, so I'm not too hopeful for a fix. Is the DNS UI something y'all still actively work on?

@geekbench @Vultr @AMD I did a geekbench5 run myself, and at least a low core count, the old high-frequency Skylake shape (browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/13565642) outscores the new Epyc one (browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/13569368) at the same price. But to be honest, I have zero idea if that comparison is meaningful in reality. :)

@geekbench @Vultr @AMD FWIW, I don't do server deployments for a living, I just started using Vultr for some tiny personal things. So it probably doesn't make a practical difference to me. It's more that for a non-expert, it's really hard to tell which instances is "best".
