Is there truly that much remaining to consider before marking your next ballot?

I mean, it's better than /b/OS would be, no?

El Reg has retracted the story;

UPDATED Following notes from several readers, we followed up directly with VRChat on Thursday at 1945 GMT and they told us that the Maine Attorney General's office apparently posted a fake breach report.

According to an email from VRChat's head of community, Charles Tupper, "VRChat did not submit this Notice of Data Incident, and the employee/email cited does not exist. We have no reason to believe that our data or systems have been compromised. We are in the process of contacting the Maine Attorney General's office to have this removed."

In an effort to get to the bottom of this, The Register dialed the phone number on the report as well, but it connected to a line that is not in service. We also tried emailing the address on the report and got no reply. We could find no record of a Scott Caruso affiliated with VRChat.

We apologize for the error, but generally speaking, government data breach reports are considered reliable. The fakers apparently even created a false notice that VRChat ostensibly sent to customers!

If anybody knows who filed this apparently fake report and why, get in touch through our contact page, or through our secure tipline.

Wise "accounts" support direct debit. But they are not licensed as a bank, so do not store large amounts of money there.

Bunq was amazing between 2018 and 2022 or so, but then the enshittification began. By 2025 I had to find a new bank.

So you take a six figure sum as your first transaction and wonder why this happens?

Who puts that sort of thing on a credit card instead of wiring it to you? Why would you want to give up Stripe's cut?

None of this makes any sense.

I am asking myself the same question. Why didn’t they send it directly to Mercury?

Mercury was setup 2 days later. Yeah was in a rush. Now i known its sus. Live and learn.

lmao
