It is hard to know if you have fixed or broke something when there are hundreds of distinct variants of it and no way to test its correctness.

Also, not all maintenance involves correcting inborn defects.

Is NLU really this reliable yet? I tried making some scripts like this with LLMs, and it seemed to do very poorly. So, I abandoned the effort.

To be fair, they did qualify the statement with "or so".

Certainly seems to be one to me?

not all of these domains always resolve to what you expect, depending on your dns provider.

Not if you still had the original system as well. I imagine it is not the norm though.

It sounds like Ubisoft wants their streaming and subscription services to grow, but reality doesn't line up with their vision.

They are purchasing long term streaming rights from other companies like Activision Blizzard.

"Ubisoft recently announced the completion of the transaction with Activision Blizzard giving Ubisoft the perpetual cloud streaming rights for Call of Duty and all other existing Activision Blizzard Console and PC titles as well as those releasing over the next 15 years. These rights will further strengthen Ubisoft’s content offering through its subscription service Ubisoft+ as well as allowing Ubisoft to license them to third parties."

It seems they are betting on a speculative market. They assume people will treat owning games like owning DVDs in the past.

From what is said in the article, it sounds like they are probably worried about losing a lot of money on this bet.

They reported a net loss of nearly half a billion euros last year.

How do you know if nothing happens? It isn't like the people siphoning, selling, or purchasing this data are broadcasting their wins on news aggregators.

In my opinion, all of these things exist because CSS is confusing to people, not because anything is inherently better. This is especially true with modern build tools. CSS modules and Atomic CSS seem like a regression to me, but not all needs are the same.
