Le titre de #GameStop s’est emballé cette semaine, comme celui de plusieurs autres entreprises. Sommes-nous en train de revivre le même phénomène qu’en 2021?
L’appétit est encore là, mais moins qu’en 2021, croit Cimon Plante, gestionnaire de portefeuille à la Financière Banque Nationale, en entrevue à Zone #économie.
"Meme-Aktien" schnellen hoch: Die Rückkehr der Zockerpapiere
Abermals erleben angeschlagene US-Aktien wie GameStop plötzlich sagenhafte Kursgewinne. Was hinter diesem Internet-Phänomen steckt - und warum sich Privatanleger dabei besser raushalten sollten. Von Detlev Landmesser.
Considering making a list of companies who interfere with VPN / Proton users ability to use their sites. Some recent examples:
#Reddit - Explicitly blocks VPN connections. #Gamestop - Blocks connectivity to their site via VPN, blocks purchases through Proton, gaslights customers who ask about it ("must be your bank") #Nespresso - Allows VPN connections, silently reverses transactions. #Blizzard - Error 403 when attempting to log into Battle.net via VPN.
After three years, it's time to shed light on the dynamics behind the first large-scale financial collective action driven by social media users: the #GameStop short squeeze.
I never thought I'd spend money at #GameStop but they have replacement #valveindex controllers for cheaper than you can buy known broken ones for parts on ebay.
Worth a shot before I pay scalper prices since #valve refuses to sell the damn things in singles (yes they're listed but they've never EVER been in stock as singles)
When it comes to the modern world of #enshittified, terrible businesses, no addition to your vocabulary is more essential than "#bezzle," #JKGalbraith's term for "the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it"
Billionaire shorts were the villains of the #Gamestop squeeze, accused running negative PR campaigns against beloved firms to drive them under and pay their bets off:
But shorts can do the lord's work. Writing for Bloomberg, #KathyBurton tells of #NateAnderson, whose #HindenburgResesearch cost some of the world's wealthiest people over $99b by publishing investigative reports on their balance-sheet shell-games just this year:

oh holy hot damn, the founder of PCSX2 is making their own PS4 emulator now
interested to see how that'll turn out, i know there's already a few other PS4 emulators out there rn, makes me wonder how this will be approached since the PS4 is more PC hardware than the completely alien hardware of the PS2
@EeveeEuphoria not really.
When my local #GameStop closed I got 360s for like €15 per piece, so there's ample of cheap hardware and all versions but the 07/2014 amd later made "Winchester" models of the #Xbox360 are fully moddable with #RGH8 requiring only a @Raspberry_Pi#PiPico and a #Postfix adapter for flashing.
So there is not a lot of motivation compared to i.e. #Gamecube, #Wii & #PS2 that didn't have #HDMI output.
