Earlier quoted context omitted.

I worked for Nokia for a brief moment in time and the Nokia E71 (or another in that line) was internally codenamed "BeeBee" (like: blackberry) which was comical to me given that the phone looked a lot like a contemporary era blackberry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E71 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Curve

The E71 was a god tier device. Owned one for a good bit as a teen and it was the perfect phone for that time IMO. You could even WhatsApp on it until relatively recently.

Yep! E71, E72, and E6 were some of my most loved phones. My love of that form factor meant that my first foray into Android was the HTC ChaCha - that was a mistake.

Kind of a funny choice when "vaporware" is a thing.

A group of professional voice actors who put on a real show every week, with extremely high production quality. A real standout on the list and well deserving of the #1 spot.

A personal favorite moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnl5r3hp1_k

I've always loved the spells in D&D that talk to plants. "You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited sentience and animation, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands."

Every casting of the spell is a Flowers For Algernon tragedy, as the plants around you realize they will only be sentient for 10 minutes and then fade back into nothingness.

Link to the leak: https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/83691438 Top 10k Streamers by Revenue: https://pastebin.com/LjmaPNam Contains the following data points: 'ad_share_gross', 'sub_share_gross', 'bits_share_gross', 'bits_developer_share_gross', 'bits_extension_share_gross', 'prime_sub_share_gross', 'bit_share_ad_gross', 'fuel_rev_gross', 'bb_rev_gross' (TTS donations, 3rd party revenue like OnlyFans, Patreon, Amazo…

The revenue in that pastebin have been double counted. The corrected data is here: https://pastebin.com/LjmaPNam

It seems the payouts follow the power law. Around 100 millionaires, around 2k people at $100k, and the 10kth person at $25k

Is this the first major porn site to be hacked?

Twitch is not porn. It's maybe a gateway to onlyfans, but you cannot have sexual content on twitch.

Even YouTube allows more nudity then twitch.

So yes, there are girls wearing bikinis and underwear on camera, but that's as far as it goes.

> Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday.

Does that mean that Twitch has very poor security systems that the entire infrastructure and data of Twitch was breached and it all fell into the hands of this so-called hacker?

Compared to the Epik breach weeks ago, this one is a lot worse.

I don't know what the point around this breach is for but surely the so-called hackers that have done this have now made matters worse for all Twitch streamers now. That was Part 1.

Waiting for what is in Part 2.

Oh ho ho! Vapor is what I call my shell function that launches Steam. Guess I am on to something.
