Because of which emoji with a mysterious meaning is Montreal businessman Ryan Cohen, who became CEO of GameStop last September, the subject of a $1.2 billion class action?
Answer
This is the full moon emoji 🌝, with a rather obscure meaning, but which Ryan Cohen used in August 2022 on X to describe a company in which he owned shares, Bed Bath & Beyond. The stock tripled in value, Cohen made a $68 million profit, and investors recently won permission to file a class action.
Texts without discrimination

According to what Apple revealed to TechRadar, its iPhones would now be compatible with the RCS standard used by Android devices, which would abolish the color distinction between the SMS of the two types of devices.
Some news went rather unnoticed last November: Apple confirmed to TechRadar, an online media outlet, that its iPhones will now be compatible with the RCS standard used by Android devices. Which clearly means that there will no longer be a distinction between SMS from iMessage and those from Android devices. Among other things, what in the United States is called “the green bubble of shame” has disappeared, the color displayed on an iPhone by a text message from an Android phone, while blue is reserved for the Apple ecosystem.

In Roots of Yggdrasilthe survivors must repopulate the world one island at a time after the Ragnarok apocalypse.
Roots of Yggdrasilfrom Montreal independent studio ManaVoid, is the definitive fantasy for city management enthusiasts. SimCity with Viking sauce. After the Ragnarok apocalypse, the survivors will have to repopulate the world one island at a time. Everything would be fine without the Ginnungagap, a vortex that will make you lose all your progress. The design is superb, but after several play sessions we’re far from grasping most of the mechanics. Let’s hope for more comprehensive tutorials when it launches in Early Access on Steam on January 24th.
A tireless virus

Researchers at the cybersecurity company Trend Micro announced this week that they had identified a new, particularly harmful virus, Phmedrone Stealer, which is particularly worrying because it manages to bypass the Windows Defender antivirus software, installed by default on PCs.
Researchers at the cybersecurity company Trend Micro announced this week that they had identified a particularly harmful new virus, Phmedrone Stealer. Its specialty: generating internet.url shortcuts that subsequently allow hackers to collect, in particular, passwords saved in autofill forms. It is particularly worrying because it manages to bypass Windows Defender antivirus software, which is installed by default on PCs. The best solution: keep your Windows system updated, Microsoft released a patch for this known vulnerability last November.
Retro, but not too much

In Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the action only takes place in two dimensions as at the time with a main character who virtuously wields his two swords, jumps from wall to wall to reach platforms… and is quickly killed.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown which will hit shelves on January 18th, manages the rare feat of reminding us of arcades and the PlayStation 2 while offering mechanics worthy of 2024. The action takes place only in two dimensions, from top to bottom and from left to left . but never in depth, with a main character who virtuously wields his two swords, jumps from wall to wall to reach platforms, has to unlock gears to move forward… and is killed quickly. A delightful return in time.
