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.

Oh, and the linked blog entry is gone. Sus. Internet Archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20260610145520/https://blue41.co...

You are precisely correct, which is why you should evaluate them. Not only will it run any code you want it to, it's extremely well supported in Linux, built solidly, and you can buy parts directly from Panasonic.

Not all of them are as bulky or heavy as the fully-rugged models. This one is "semi-rugged", not that much thicker than a ThinkPad.

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.

>This paper analyzes and identifies a space-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference source that has caused scores of powerful transient wide-area interference events over continental Europe, Greenland, and Canada since 2019. While terrestrial or near-terrestrial sources are primarily responsible for the recent uptick in GNSS interference worldwide, space-based interferers are of special concern given their potential for vast geographic reach and their portent of a qualitative escalation in GNSS interference. Based on data collected between 2019 and 2026 from a network of terrestrial GNSS reference stations, this paper (1) develops a received-power-based detection framework; (2) details the spatial, temporal, and spectral patterns of wide-area interference events caused by the source; (3) presents and analyzes identification techniques that blend received-power and time-difference-of-arrival measurements; and (4) applies these techniques to confidently identify the GNSS interference source as a constellation of Russian early warning satellites in Molniya ("lightning") orbits.

I don't think that word means what you think that word means.
