Suggestion for Meetup.com

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m not sure that this is a problem for most meetup.com groups, but the Columbus Techlife group schedules quite a large number of meetups. For a group of over 600 people, that’s a good thing. There’s a pretty wide variety of events, covering the wide variety of interests among the group. And I get an email every single time one is added, a reminder as it approaches, and another right before it.

Meetup doesn’t have any options to turn off these emails either. Apparently, if I want to not get emails about every new event, I would have to leave the group, which would then mean I couldn’t RSVP to the events I am actually interested in!

C’mon Meetup, I have plenty of other ways to know of upcoming events, I follow the group’s founders on Twitter, for example. Give me the option to turn off those emails!

“This lawsuit was the FTC’s stern message to other IoT manufacturers, and surely we will see more such lawsuits!” There’s no question the FTC is paying attention to Internet of Things devices that claim to keep customer data secure, but actually don’t. The costs of being targeted by the FTC may put some of these…

This seems to be happening a lot:   “A coordinated ransomware attack has affected at least 20 local government entities in Texas, the Texas Department of Information Resources said.
