One month out from the under-16s ban and almost all of the users caught up in the Discord data breach caused by age assurance appeals were based in Australia, OAIC has finally confirmed. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Discord age-assurance data breach includes 68,000 Australian users Almost all of the users of video game chat platform Discord who were caught up in October’s data breach are located in Australia, making up 68,122 of the disclosed 70,000 users, Guardian Australia has confirmed. Discord informed in October that a third-party customer service provider that the company was using for age verification had been compromised, with approximately 70,000 users affected, and usernames, email, billing information, IP addresses, and a small number of government ID images. Discord began using facial age assurance to check the age for users in the UK and Australia earlier this year. The company said facial images and ID images “are deleted directly after” ages are confirmed, but Discord’s website noted that if verification fails, users can contact the trust and safety team for a manual review. Ahead of the introduction of age assurance measures on social media in Australia as part of the under-16s social media ban, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner confirmed 68,122 Australians were affected by the breach. Discord had previously refused to break down the number of Australians caught up in the breach, when asked by Guardian Australia.

Me realising I never took a good photo of my Psygnosis owl cosplay, then realising my wings were too big to fit in the frame of my webcam, then having an internal crisis.

Picked up a lot of old C&VG mags today, along with a handful of c64 and other stuff. Really well looked after too! #cvg #retrogaming

How good of a spot is this?

Helping with the #BeakerSt festival for Science week at the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery this weekend. We’re in the basement of a 180+ year old building, completely with a cage for the arcades (and Mario Kart projected onto a giant stone wall!) #retrogaming #arcades

The Simpsons scene from "Simpson and Delilah" where Homer's (recently former) assistant Karl gives his umbrella to Homer, before waving and making a poignant exit in the pouring rain. In the final panel, Homer and Karl are in the game "Lemmings", following in a procession of lemmings who are walking off the edge of a tall pillar, while using umbrellas to slow their fall -- a basic strategy of the game. Homer is using this strategy too. Karl, however is now falling without the safety of an umbrella.

It’s weird seeing retro stuff on shelves in EB. Surprised the pricing wasn’t super egregious either

Sorry one more thing before I log off #ocsky
Al looking at Jack in bed: I bet he's thinking about other bakers. Jack: actually thinking about a screenshot of a mastodon post that says "I can 100% see why so many people get beer bottles stuck up their arses. You're a bit drunk, it looks like just the right shape. Honestly it's probably only a matter of time before I'm in A&E telling them I fell backwards on it"

New home for the Xbox collection. Next job: update database and test doubles.

The fun stuff.

Got given this Tamiya Super Hotshot and finally getting around to firing it up. Sadly came pre-built, but my inner child has been having a blast hitting everything 😂

The curse of being a Maxis fan who lives in the East Bay is seeing a building and thinking "I'm pretty sure that building is in SimCity 2000"

and then being RIGHT
A tall, old brick building, where the top floor is set off with a ledge. The same building, rendered in SimCity 2000.

Kinda funny that Ubisoft would issue a press release about open-sourcing the tool they use to simulate colorblindness internally when two of the last three games I've had colorblindness issues with have been Ubisoft games.

Landed a big box of books, mags and games from a local auction place today. Pretty bumper haul, the kind I’ve not come across in a while!

Wonder if people who installed MS Office for Macintosh off these 40 disks have ever recovered from the trauma?

Activision confirms THPS4 in THPS 3+4 will not have the original career mode. "Instead, like in the first three games, each THPS4 level will feature a list of challenges to complete in a 2-minute run." kotaku.com/thps-3-4-ton...

Board testing. It’s nice when PCBs in storage work straight away.

Was excited to get my copy of The Rubber-Keyed Wonder, and finally sat down to watch.

Absolutely recommend it for anyone even remotely engaged with the 8-bit UK computer scene. Well put together & full of people really passionate about the Speccy!
