I requested for "sidebar" to be placed in the pop-up menu after long pressing an instance name. I don't know when it was implemented and I don't know if it was in reaponse to my request, but I noticed it today and wanted to say "thank you"!

It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

Tainted CPAP machines and ventilators went to children, the elderly and at least 700,000 veterans despite internal warnings. Company insiders said the devices posed an “unacceptable” risk.

I'm speaking of online data harvested through apps, websites, hardware (such as phones/streaming devices).

I mean if multiple versions of the same harvested data are being sold, wouldn't the value decrease because of the competition? When it comes to aggregate data, how much financial value can there really be in knowing that a million office workers just clicked on the same cat meme?

How does the quantity of time and expense toward "personalization" not simply overshadow the return, given that no one can click on even a small percentage of those numerous ads, let alone buy the shit being advertised?

It just seems like there would come a time when the value of user data is sucked dry, or at least significantly decreased.

"Four free tests will be available for each household to request through the government's COVIDTests.gov portal beginning on Monday, Sept. 25."

FYI: VSECU Class Action Waiver

I called VSECU today about opting out of the binding arbitration class action waiver.

I was told all emailed requests to opt out need to be attached to the email…as a separate letter.

She said they will not accept a simple email but need an actual document that can be saved.

Also, please know that the email address is case sensitive. The "E" and "A" need to be capitalized.

[email protected]

Include the following in your letter - - Name - Account number

I am opting out/rejecting VSECU's binding arbitration / class action waiver

Edited to add another person's experience (because it seems valid the process of opting out) regarding the Class Action Waiver; posted on Montpelier FPF (Issue No. 7319 • Sep 18, 2023):

A week ago, I sent an email to [email protected] asking to opt out of the arbitration agreement. I provided all the required information, and asked for confirmation of receipt of my request. Not having received a confirmation, I went to the VSECU branch today. I was told emailing the opt out request would not work. This is despite the written waiver document explicitly stating one can opt out via letter or email at the above-stated email address. I was told that, in order to opt out, one must send a letter via the postal service to the following address:

New England Federal Credit Union Attn: Executive Assistant 141 Harvest Lane Williston, VT 05495

The request to opt out must include " your name as listed on your account, your account number (the young man at the branch office says that just means your member number, not the number of your checking and/or savings account - hopefully he knows what he is talking about). Your request must be received by NEFCU by November 5th.
