  • Pertinent excerpts:

    Verizon handed Poppy’s personal data, including the address on file and phone logs, to a stalker who later directly threatened her and drove to an address armed with a knife.

    [the stalker] used a ProtonMail account, not a government email, to make the request, and used the name of a police officer that didn’t actually work for the police department he impersonated, according to court records. Despite those red flags, Verizon still provided the sensitive data to [the stalker].

    a Verizon representative told Poppy that the corporation was a victim too.


  • In my experience, it’s not really a term you’ll come across unless you’re Jewish/around a Jewish family at Hanukkah. I have only ever heard/used this term with my family and other Jews because the generic “menorah” is what’s known to the population at large - assuming they know anything about Jews to begin with.









  • The one I know for sure is new that I use is an AI DJ feature. It plays music in sets it thinks you’ll like, then lets you know when a new set is starting and what it’ll be like; lets you start a new set manually if you don’t like the type of music being played.

    As someone who lived alone, when it came out it was nice to have a friendly voice (sounds like a young, 20-something guy), even though fake, to talk to me about my music.

    Clearly I need to do research on them, though; I’m out of the loop on their nastiness.
