eBay agreed to pay maximal possible fine of $3 million after employees harassed, intimidated, and stalked a Massachusetts couple in retaliation for their critical reporting of the online marketplace (arstechnica.com)

eBay’s harassment campaign against the couple, David and Ina Steiner, stretched for 18 days in August 2019 and was led by the company’s former senior director of safety and security, Jim Baugh. It started when then-CEO Devin Wenig and then-chief communications officer Steven Wymer decided to “take down” the Steiners...

Holy shit! Does eBay think they're the Mafia now? I can't help but think of the horse head in The Godfather.

Check out EmuVR if you haven't yet, its free and VR is not required! (www.emuvr.net)

Emu VR is a game that gives you a virtual room that you can customize like crazy. You can play all your emulated games, watch movies, listen to music, etc. It even has multiplayer! Just recently they added support for user generated content (UGC), and the community has been adding tons of stuff. Even if you don’t plan to play,...

Coincidentally, I spent about two hours last night just finding pictures I could use for posters. Then I downloaded all kinds of user made content, and haven't even gotten into doing anything with it yet. I've only actually played one game so far. Lol

If you have a decent amount of upvotes, it's a good sign you're not a bot or a troll. At least that's how I use it.

If you're in to VR, "The 7th Guest VR" came out last fall, and it's actually really good.

The only 3rd party I can find connected to this is Have I Been Pwned. Are they not reputable? Or is this not who you're talking about? Genuinely curious as I was thinking about trying out Mozilla.

Yeah, the Index is still you're best bet unless you can afford the Bigscreen Beyond. Also, if you go with an Index, I strongly recommend you buy used or refurbished as new models are still $1000 which is not worth it anymore imo.

I think GameStop was selling them for around $600 a while back for a full kit. You could probably go cheaper on eBay or something, but there's always a higher risk factor there.

I'm starting to see some serious downsides to being able to see who downvotes you.

A few days ago I downvoted someone's comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I've ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I'm an "obvious" troll account that "apparently just exist to...

I think this is correct.

Agreed. Also, party on dude!

True, but if they hadn't seen it was me that downvoted them in the first place, they wouldn't know who to stalk, and I wouldn't have to call anyone out at all. Really though, I can still see both sides here. I'm just bitter it happened to me. Lol

Depending on the headset you're using, she could just message you either through Steam or the Meta app.

You're right. I'd almost completely forgotten this existed.
