- Tea, an app for women to share the private data of men, was hacked - if you can use that term for an application that appears to have had no security whatsoever - and the personal information of all the users has been leaked online - if you can use that expression when all the personal information was already public if you knew to look. (WCCFTech)
And being a "women-only" app, it required users to upload government-issued photo ID for their protection. So a site dedicated to doxing other people just doxed all its own users.
This is why we can't have nice things.
- Meanwhile, Britain, which as of yesterday requires all its subjects to provide government-issued photo ID to view porn on Twitter, is already using the technology to block reports of anti-illegal immigration protests. (Twitter)

Tech News
- Meanwhile over at Amazon, "security first" means about as much as "talent first" did with VShojo. (Tom's Hardware)
Hackers were able to inject a persistent vulnerability into an Amazon AI coding tool by, uh, asking it to do it for them.
- WiFi 8 is on its way. (Tom's Hardware)
Raw speeds are exactly the same as WiFi 7. Rather it's designed to deliver better real-world speeds by reducing errors and dropped packets in, uh, the real world.
- How did GPD manage to cram a Ryzen AI Max 395+ and 128GB of RAM into a handheld device? Apparently they left out the battery. (The Verge)
Instead it draws power from either a large external battery or a 180W laptop charger.
Hope the oven mitts are coordinated.
- Echelon home gym equipment can no longer be used without a monthly subscription, an internet connection, and probably government-issued photo ID stored on a public server. (Ars Technica)
Hackers are working on hacking it.

The Space Dandy AMV of Uptown Funk is still the best.

So Legal Mindset was going over the latest public comments regarding VShojo, and one point that has come from Veibae and others is that VShojo was encouraging an atmosphere of competition, distrust, and rivalry among their VTubers. This comment has fascinating confirmation - and way before everything blew-up - because Sayu (The canary in the coal mine for NijiEn.), was asked last year if she would be willing to join Phase Connect or VShojo. She was open to Phase Connect, but said VShojo was loaded with mean girl cliques, which sounds right out of high school or NijiEn.
The memory banks also brought up recollections of a Reddit thread from the last year where the man's wife was indie VTuber who was signing on to an agency, and the agency wanted HIM as well to sign a NDA - which the attorney who took a look for him was not impressed with. VShojo forced Silvervale's mother to sign such an NDA, but while I am definitely not even trying to imply that they are as bad as VShojo, I do wonder if that might have been a possibility regarding Hololive/Fauna.

Reports coming out now indicate that VShojo was pathological about NDAs.
For example, Phoebe as a member of the idol group with Mint didn't know that the Monster Girls gen was going to launch right after. For comparison, when she joined Prism Project as part of Gen 5, all the members both old and new knew about the plans for Gen 5 and Gen 6 and Gen 7, which launched months apart.
