General Vtuber Discussion (V1)

[Punished Anime Discusser]

"I've been here for two years, we're reaching no-fucks-given territory."
Inshallah, the Pink woman will call someone a jiggaboo on stream.

What she really means is that she'll probably start doing more experimental, wacky shit, because there's gonna be enough people in EN now that she no longer has to give a fuck about trying to appeal to everyone.

Expect more eroge and old VNs.

Mysta recommended Bettel as a vtuber to watch after his departure.

Bettel's response.

 

[Nenélove]

461 people on the asylum rn, most likely because of EN3
Is that a new record?

 

[Horo7618]

Should IRyS still be streaming????

 

[Punished Anime Discusser]

Yeah, I can buy that it's just 5 Callis after that Persona 3-ass track.

Off collab with mooms and the rrat started

Council pushed for the 2-day debut period that we saw with Tempus onward after how stressful they found their back-to-back one.

Nothing to report. This is indeed the first time they have extended their break for reasons we can only speculate. JP Bros seem to be under the belief that it has something to do with the fact that Japan is experiencing its worst heatwave ever recorded and is being done as a preventative measure. Even though you just be over 18 to join Nijisanji, VTA does allow minors to enrol, so they may not want to take any risks on getting them to and from studio.

As for the face reveal, that is 3rd Gen Ninomiya Mera, whose face was leaked the day she debuted by Chinese 'fans' of her PL as she effectively graduated from Bilibili and threw them away in pursuit of Nijisanji. VTA have been hiding her face for months, it's nothing new, and the irony that Kris the 'Holosimp' inadvertently sides with bugmen to try and stick it to Anycolor isn't lost on me. To the surprise of approximately no one, Kris doesn't know what he's talking about.

Oh yeah, the heat wave thing. I still find myself forgetting that VTA always do offline classes aside of weekly talent stream training they do. Still, thanks for the informations regardless, especially regarding the bilibili related stuff (since that I don't really know much about). Of course it has to be chinese to have more schizo-like shenanigans like that.

And yes, Kris is a retard.

Please use the following thread for discussion surrounding EN3:

HoloAdvent En3 Talent Discussion/Debut Thread

Dingo has possibly leaked there will be new info tomorrow so figured it's time to start a thread Maybe I'm retarded cus I never use twitter, but it does not look like Axel is replying to the mystery announcement. Based on the comments, he is thanking his fans for coming to his 1 yr anniversary...

Cover is likely utilizing mobile device management for their work-controlled phones. They would be able to wipe the phones remotely, so that is a non-issue.

Even if we assume there is an MDM remote-wipe beyond the standard Find My iPhone fare (we haven't had a lot of glimpses into the competency of Cover's IT folks that I can recall), being signed in to Cover accounts on something like a personal laptop could still pose an issue. I know they use Google Workspace and most users of that do not employ any sort of device restriction (I don't even recall if they offer it without a 3rd party IdP?). Something innocuous like signing into the Windows mail client or Outlook could cache all emails locally which might be retrieved even with the account being locked and/or password reset. Throw something like "oh yeah, I might've downloaded X, Y & Z internal documents" or proprietary software, and they might freak out about it. Most people do not use BitLocker, and as far as I know, Windows does not support remote wipe without something like Intune MDM, which a personal device would not be enrolled in.

Not saying I think that the security investigation rrat is most likely, though. I could see a scenario like that, and a later finding that they violated policy regarding separation of work accounts & personal devices resulting in an unannounced suspension, maybe. But by now if it was purely a security thing they should have had devices locked down, account passwords reset, and any remote access revoked. If they thought there was a risk of anything affecting the rest of the Cover network, by that logic very few people should have access to any Cover accounts right now, which is obviously not the case. But I suppose that requires the assumption that they are competent and making logical decisions...

 

[The Rrat]

Most people do not use BitLocker

If people use Microsoft accounts, which most people do at this point, from my experience, Bitlocker is enabled by default now. Even on Home versions of Windows.

You are right, though. MDM is one thing, but they likely don't have a decent management system for BYOD and personal devices. I almost wonder if that was the lockout issue that Vesper had earlier that week (as in they started enabling policies and it broke shit because Vesper's usage was out of compliance) and that caused them to find out him and Magni were doing something they should not have been doing on personal devices, rather than lost devices.

It shouldn't take this long to resecure their accounts if there was a security scare, otherwise. Then again, maybe I am being too generous toward's Cover's IT management.

Isn't she Malaysian? This would be an improvement for how woman are treated for her.

Scarle will be watching her disastrous debut

NOW she's watching it

 

[MornLurker]

This is probably overshadowed by EN3 news but today is also Minase Rio's birthday and he's doing a 726-minutes (12hours and 6mins) karaoke stream to celebrate it

Spoiler: Part two of the stream

 

[reinigen]

This artist has done Hololive stuff before and has been on a Rin kick recently. Highly NSFW.


I wonder how many others will make the association. God help us if she's British too.

If people use Microsoft accounts, which most people do at this point, from my experience, Bitlocker is enabled by default now. Even on Home versions of Windows.

Great point, actually. I forgot all about that because I use local accounts exclusively and I mostly operate in a domain environment. So that does destroy most of that argument (I guess it could be said that there is no way to verify that it was actually active if they hadn't checked the BitLocker settings)

I almost wonder if that was the lockout issue that Vesper had earlier that week (as in they started enabling policies and it broke shit because Vesper's usage was out of compliance) and that caused them to find out him and Magni were doing something they should not have been doing on personal devices, rather than lost devices.

You could be onto something there, it isn't unheard of for the more "enterprise"-y VPN solutions to employ endpoint policies for AV and things like that. If we wanna build the full rrat, I'd say something like lower on the totem pole IT person at Cover tries to work through it with Vesper, they find whatever isn't in compliance & they fix it, he streams and talks about it, talking about it involving the admins, someone gets curious and actually reads the logs and finds whatever went on, and they decide to rail him for it. As a result, they audit everyone, and whoops, there's Magni too.

Spoiler: IT rrat details

I suppose without more details it's pure speculation what the "violation" would be. My understanding was talents use their own hardware? If I had to guess, I'd say it's something like, they're supposed to use a separate Windows profile or even install, and they saw sign ins from Whatever-PC\OtherUsername instead of Holo-1234\NoirVesper, or something like that. Maybe that separate install is supposed to have endpoint monitoring or something and they think they're trying to skirt it. Maybe they triggered a data exfiltration rule or something. I figure it would have to be something that's a little more deliberate, rather than something dumb like "oh you didn't have the right AV installed".

Dunno, the more I type it the more it feels like a big rrat, but I do think the timing of his lockout stuff is curious.

Thats a nope, there were a couple yabs where talents had their filepath dox their previous lives, iirc even Fauna revealed her PC username still had "Lilly" or "Lemon Leaf" on her filepath

Afaik the holos do still use any PC they can for streaming, so either they get the OK or they dont actually use that involved of a setup
