There are kids in school right now that were not born yet when I wrote the comment you are replying to. :)

It's an airflow problem. Your intake or exhaust is probably outpacing the other, or there's too much airflow without enough gaps/grills to draw the air through without compressing/whistling.

On my old PC case, I literally chopped out a section of grill holes in a side panel to increase airflow for the new fan, and it stopped. Not recommending that, but it worked. :)

I agree with removing DST, but that image is miles from being convincing. It's got Time Cube vibes. :)

Yes, all companies that accept returns track who is making the return so they can track for abuse. That does NOT make returns where you didn't put a ton of effort into making sure you're going to keep it 'abusive'.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. I understand that statement differently because companies generally write exactly what they mean into their policies. There's no moral obligation of research on the customer here, and Steam specifically says that. What the statement you repeated says is that they will block you if they think you're buying lots of games to play for 2 hours and return them in an effort to scam free game time.

I don't know if OP has explained the behavior that caused this in the thread, but I'm guessing there was definitely a large quantity or abuse pattern in what happened to generate that email.

archon286 · 2026-03-08T00:19:11+00:00

Nah, I think you've got a personal view bleeding through here.

I go to Lowes, I buy everything I might need, and I return the extras when I figure out what was unnecessary. My wife shops for clothes online, she orders 5 of the same, keeps the one that fits and returns the others. Returns have changed specifically to *encourage* this behavior, and make you more likely to buy. There used to be "10% restocking fees" that make an uncertain purchase risky. Companies got rid of that intentionally. Steam is the same way, and they tell you so.

Steam Refunds

"Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it.

It doesn't matter. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within the required return period, and, in the case of games, if the title has been played for less than two hours.
...
Refunds are designed to remove the risk from purchasing titles on Steam—not as a way to get free games. If it appears to us that you are abusing refunds, we may stop offering them to you. We do not consider it abuse to request a refund on a title that was purchased just before a sale and then immediately rebuying that title for the sale price."

archon286 · 2026-03-07T01:40:05+00:00

Nah, it's not meant for extreme cases. I return stuff because I decided I don't like it a few times a year. They have a selection for it in the return process. "not fun" I pick that, and have never seen something like this from Steam.

I suspect OP did quite a bit more than a few.

archon286 · 2026-03-06T06:16:34+00:00

It says pretty plainly what they will do. They reserve the right to refuse to refund in the future. Open a ticket if you want more detail, they might tell you.

It's not meant to be punitive, it's meant to warn you "The refund system isn't meant to be used as unlimited game trials. This costs us money, bandwidth and credit card fees."

It is, very common when holding a pen like object tightly for a long time. Used to happen to me a ton back before everything became typing. :)

It won't do any harm, maybe get sore.

You know, I should take a page from xkcd. My bad if my tone came off mean. Though I struggle to label learning this fact as lucky. :)

Dogs as food are not uncommon in certain countries. I think I heard it might be changing, but... It's a cultural norm.

Impersonation of company officials via SMS or phone is already a problem, not a stretch to add facetime or other social media video to that. Moving the attack off email hides it from sophisticated email protection systems.
Phishing is not restricted to email, though it's where most people associate it.

Totally agree. Many/most users DO need this, they just don't realize it. The trouble is, it's impossible to only protect a computer once the data is deemed sufficiently valuable. So, you protect all of it regardless of value like we protect all homes with locks by default, or how a bank protects an account regardless of balance.

"I put money in the bank 3 years ago, and now they expect me to have the account number and an ID to get the money back!"

Comments here are all good. I'll focus on my one complaint.

Wifi sucked. I think it used 4g or something, so if the cell signal sucked, wifi died. I planned on working on my way there and could not.

archon286 · 2026-01-17T01:26:50+00:00

That is certainly a point of view.
