I got a robot vaccuum cleaner (Samsung Jet Bot), and while pricey it's saved me so much time and effort keeping my apartment clean. Definitely worth the money.

Saving this for future me with wet dog smelling dishwasher. Thanks for the tip!

Well this definitely makes me reconsider using their IDEs now. How can you be that tone deaf?

There needs to be more than just financial compensation. Whoever it was from Fujitsu that committed purjury needs to be in prison for causing so many lives to be ruined.

Musical talent. I'd love to be able to sing and play guitar but I have no aptitude for it at all.

My dad was abusive, and after reflecting on it for a while I ended up cutting off all contact 10 years ago. Best decision I ever made.

I spend enough time at work during the day, I'm not letting some manager take my sleep from me too. Fuck that.

Happened with Mastodon too, but that's thriving now. Users come in waves. Don't focus on the numbers, focus on the content.

I wish I could. I'd love nothing more than to leave this all behind.

They sent me this boilerplate response when I emailed them. Reported them to the ICO anyway.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the 23andMe Team. We recently learned that certain 23andMe customer profile information that they opted into sharing through our DNA Relatives feature, was compiled from individual 23andMe.com accounts without the account users’ authorization. After learning of suspicious activity, we immediately began an investigation. While we are continuing to investigate this matter, we believe threat actors were able to access certain accounts in instances where users recycled login credentials – that is, usernames and passwords that were used on 23andMe.com were the same as those used on other websites that have been previously hacked. We believe that the threat actor may have then, in violation of our Terms of Service, accessed 23andMe.com accounts without authorization and obtained information from certain accounts, including information about users’ DNA Relatives profiles, to the extent a user opted into that service.

23andMe is committed to providing you with a safe and secure place where you can learn about your DNA knowing your privacy is protected. We are continuing to investigate to confirm these preliminary results. We do not have any indication at this time that there has been a data security incident within our systems, or that 23andMe was the source of the account credentials used in these attacks.

At 23andMe, we take security seriously. We exceed industry data protection standards and have achieved three different ISO certifications to demonstrate the strength of our security program. We actively and routinely monitor and audit our systems to ensure that your data is protected. When we receive information through those processes or from other sources claiming customer data has been accessed by unauthorized individuals, we immediately investigate to validate whether this information is accurate. Since 2019 we’ve offered and encouraged users to use multi-factor authentication (MFA), which provides an extra layer of security and can prevent bad actors from accessing an account through recycled passwords.

We encourage our customers to take as much action to keep their account and password secure. Out of caution, we recommend taking the following steps:

• Confirm you have a strong password, one that is not easy to guess and that is unique to your 23andMe account. If you are not sure whether you have a strong password for your account, reset it by following the steps outlined here.
• Please be sure to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your 23andMe account. You can enable MFA by following the steps outlined here.
• Review our Privacy and Security Checkup page with additional information on how to keep your account secure.

23andMe is here to support you. We will be following up with you if more information becomes available. You can also watch our blog for more updates: https://blog.23andme.com/

No way this isn't a database. If Palantir are hosting the data then they can see it, plain and simple.

Oh my god cuntface is my new favourite insult. Thank you for this!
