yeah um yeah we can do tech news or
whatever i guess what
stocks stunks stunks stunks stunks
stunks ah please yep the wall street bets
subreddit community is still holding gamestop stock forcing its value up
which is heavily damaged hedge funds used to short the stock but there have
been a number of rapid developments the wall street bets subreddit and discord
channel were taken offline but they've since been reinstated the robinhood
trading app restricted a number of stocks including gamestop and according
to some users they actually sold their stock without their permission for these
shenanigans robin hood is facing a class-action lawsuit from users and a
possible investigation by congress angry
traders review-bombed the app on the google play store and the iOS app store
with one-star reviews but then google went and removed those reviews on the
play store saying they violated their policies against review store
manipulation and i mean
it yeah stocks
i feel better moving on some of the wsb crowd turned their attention to getting
the dogecoin cryptocurrency up to one dollar leading robin hood to restrict
trades of that stock as well while the whole internet is getting very excited
right now others as rs technical rights are concerned that a massive amount of
new investors are about to get screwed when the stock eventually drops but not
before we burn them hedge funds to the ground
i don't like hedges if you're curious how this all happened the wall street
journal actually interviewed the guy that started the gamestop craze known as
deep effing value on reddit
have you never heard that before you didn't know that was his name well in
real in real life his name is slightly less exciting keith gill
uh why does he look exactly like i expected one thing for sure though he's
got hands of pure diamond
on to less society altering news xiaomi has taken the wraps off me air charge
yar i've got to charge me phone here uh
it's a base station that can apparently charge devices from a few meters away no
wires required the base station achieves this by using 144 antennas to send
quote energy to the smartphone in the form of an extremely narrow millimeter
wide wave beam
yeah you'll be catching the business end of me wave beam
uh it can only do five watt charging so it isn't going to replace good old cords
or even qi wireless charging which can do up to 15 watts but the idea of just
walking into a room and leaving with a slightly more charged phone is i'll
admit i'm intrigued even if it means i turn into a ninja turtle later because
because that would actually be awesome and apple and facebook are taking their
relationship to the next level in the bad way they do not like each other
right now the conflict centers around apple's upcoming edition of app tracking
transparency to iOS 14 which will let users stop apps from tracking their
activity in order to sell it to advertisers facebook
does that and they make a lot of money doing it so
they're upset apparently enough to consider suing apple for antitrust
violations see facebook is trying to frame this dispute as similar to the one
that epic has with apple like oh here's big bad apple abusing their market
position to take away small businesses ability to make money by tracking users
zuckerberg is trying to get users trust back by doing things like adding
biometric sign-in to whatsapp's web client but i don't really think it's
working if facebook does end up suing even if they win apple just broke 100
billion dollars in yearly profits for the first time so i'm sure they'll be fine

nashira's time will come
