I thought the same until I started looking:

Name Server: NS-225.AWSDNS-28.COM Name Server: NS-1411.AWSDNS-48.ORG Name Server: NS-1914.AWSDNS-47.CO.UK Name Server: NS-556.AWSDNS-05.NET

At least for DNS. Data center appears to be Lightedge.

Or expired domains which I suppose is related?

These phones are made in China. These companies have this and then some.

An OnlyFans case that is ongoing now the plaintiffs attorneys made a filling with i believe entirely fabricated case references:

> The table above does not reflect our renewed cloud hosting agreement with a third-party provider, entered into on May 31, 2025. Under the terms of the non-cancellable agreement, we committed to purchase a minimum of $545.0 million in cloud hosting services over the next five years. This renewed agreement replaces a previous agreement with the provider.

$300k/DAY AWS bill. I wonder what the "non-cancellable" savings is.

it use to say something along the lines of "host canceled reservation less then xx time" in the reviews. did they remove that?

I've been using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html for years now. Any major benefits to either of these?

"FTC Bans Location Data Company" no not really.

As I skim that it just feels like a pile of shit that does nothing but create a few jobs to make reports. It doesn't bind the management. They can literally go do the same thing tomorrow.

Oh wait... "Gravy Analytics is now part of Unacast!"

Why isn't Unacast a party? Where is the monetary fine?

I've been bitching about GasBuddy since at least 2018 (I'm sure even further I'm too lazy to keep looking).

I've pretty much deleted all apps. I'm working on dumping my phone all together but shit like mandated 2FA is screwing that up.

> At trial, the Backpage defendants were barred from bringing up a 2013 memo by federal prosecutors who examined the site and said at the time that they hadn’t uncovered evidence of a pattern of recklessness toward minors or admissions from key participants that the site was being used for prostitution.

> A Government Accountability Office report released in June noted that the FBI’s ability to identify victims and sex traffickers had decreased significantly after Backpage was seized by the government because law enforcement was familiar with the site and Backpage was generally responsive to requests for information.

Reminds me of a case in Utah of a guy charged with defrauding a bank for doing exactly what the bank told him to do. Couldn't introduce the email of the bank telling him to do that during trial. I'm not sure how anyone is OK with stuff like this.

This.

I was a fly on the wall for a conversation with someone who runs a 12k seat venue. They guaranteed Harry Styles $5 million for 2 nights and made it work because.... "secondary". Even the venues are in on the scalping.

My money is on expired domain somewhere or security certificate.

I requested my report and it was really bizarre how they delivered it. Half was snail mailed and half was some time limited link to access online.

Not sure if this was just me or a thing with them.

Knowing nothing about patents and only briefly scrolling through this... wouldn't porn be prior art? Pay for access to content?

They have over 115 Billion cash on hand.

I followed people who post yet when I open the app my first 2 posts (the only posts visible) are from accounts I'd never follow (right now Paris Hilton and ESPN) and could care less about. I don't want to scroll through their suggested bullshit trying to get to what I actually want to read. Maybe this works when you are following no one.

Eh. I was expecting something a bit more juicy like flat out transferring csvs loaded with detailed data or something.

"A proposed FTC settlement with BetterHelp includes $7.8 million for partial refunds for BetterHelp customers and conveys an unmistakable message about just how seriously the FTC takes this kind of betrayal of trust."

Um not really. If anything it conveys your remarketing might cost a bit more then you planned.

I've been on various projects in this building for 20+ years. We even had a small office at one point on one of the floors. Back then we were told the upper floors couldn't be converted to data center space. Fast forward to 2 years ago and everytime I went in there a semi truck full of cabinets was being sent up. I have no idea how much weight it can hold but my gut told me we are a moderate sized earthquake away from the place falling to the ground. Called my provider and said we are moving across the street. 2 months later with the help of some friends we did it in I think 13 minutes.

One cool thing was the filming of fast and furious Tokyo drift out front. They spent probably 2 months converting 2 blocks into Tokyo and at night would swap out street signs with Japanese ones. Turns out they actually do race the cars around the corners. Explosions and everything.

Here is a pic I found which is facing the front of the building/parking garage entrance: http://www.veilsidejpn.com/gallery/images/re_2335_AA_D001_00...

Edit: Also they have spread things out around DTLA and El Segundo and even just recently filled plans to build a second building next door. While it wouldn't be good I don't think if something happened it would melt down the Internet as perhaps it may have 15-20 years ago.

Gas buddy is one app that wholesales this data out. I wouldn’t doubt it if the carriers themselves sell it.

Ugh ICIJ. Cherry picked stories without ability to look through raw files/data.

I just learned about "confidential plates" the other day. Interesting read.

I am 99.99% sure right before covid I read (and saw them installing something) they were using some kind of heat or thermal reading on the 110. Me being curious I always set my transponder to 2 and turned on my passenger seat warmer on after that. Never got anything in the mail.

> From what I've seen i don't think that's the goal.

He literally went on a 45 minute rant about how Ukraine isn't a country right before this started.

I'll just drop these 2 of dozens of examples here:

> Allowed you to block certain domains from your search results

Blocking pintrest would be a dream come true.

They don't need to rip off anything... we hand it all to them.

This is costing them not less then $170,000 PER MINUTE. I highly doubt it's some kind of cover up.
