masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reported🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reportedLet’s not panic about Proposal 4 failing at eBay’s annual meeting. It would only have been the easy way to bring the offer in front of eBay shareholders, by lowering the special meeting threshold to 10%. But the offer can still reach them through a Schedule TO, a tender offer filed directly with the SEC that bypasses the board entirely. To get there, though, one event is vital: the proposal we vote on as GameStop shareholders on July 7th, the increase in authorized shares from 1 billion to 2.5 billion. This is the most important near-term catalyst for the whole deal, since the $125 offer is split evenly between cash and GME stock, and the stock half simply doesn’t exist yet in sufficient quantity. GameStop is sitting near its current 1 billion authorized share ceiling, so without the increase, there aren’t enough shares to actually deliver the equity portion of the consideration. Regarding this, on June 8th GameStop filed a supplement to its proxy materials clarifying the voting standard for the share authorization proposal, and two things came out of it. First, the proposal is classified as a routine matter under NYSE rules. This matters because of how broker voting works. When a proposal is routine, brokers holding shares on behalf of retail clients can vote those shares at their own discretion even if the client gives no instruction. On non-routine matters, those uninstructed shares simply don’t get voted. GameStop’s retail base is enormous and notoriously slow to return voting instructions, so under a non-routine classification a huge block of shares would effectively sit out. Routine classification means brokers can vote that block, and historically broker discretionary votes lean toward management’s recommendation. Second, the supplement clarified that abstentions are not counted as votes cast, so they have no effect on the outcome. Only FOR and AGAINST votes count toward the threshold. This removes a common drag that sinks shareholder proposals where high abstention rates are driven by apathy or confusion. Put together, these two points meaningfully tilt the probability of passage in management’s favor. They don’t guarantee it, brokers vote according to their own policies and determined opposition can still organize, but the structural setup is favorable. Still learning. Still sharing. Not financial advice. $GME $EBAY

Zac Alan Cichy (@zcichy) reported@XRPee1983 @Cliffracer56k I just don’t know when I’m gonna see another functioning Jag CD for less. The cheapest I’ve seen was a broken one on Ebay about 6 months ago for $650, by itself. It’s my grail console.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

Daniel Benjamin (@DanielBenjamin8) reported@RockSol1d_ Sorry to hear that. I had this exact problem recently. If you’re lucky you can buy/swap an individual solenoid. If not you might need to buy the whole module. Check out aftermarket parts on eBay. They’re very reasonable, and either swap it yourself or get the mechanic to do the install.

(Rodimus) JosephtheN3rd (@JosephtheN3rd) reported@blackvvidows @HankMcPym People buy these for parts. Once it officially releases check eBay. There’s tons of people who just strip them down to sell the parts individually

shawn (@Shawncnda) reported@WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser Give it another week. eBay tracking has went back to being jacked up this week. I’ve got issues with cards coming in and going out. Ask for a few more days. Sadly I’ve had cards take weeks to get to me after being marked as delivered

Francesco (@francescoinweb3) reportedHow did I build a mini PC for $500? People don’t buy products; they buy brands. More often than not, you can buy the exact same product for less, just under a different name. Manufacturers tout impressive figures like ‘86 TOPS’, but in practice what matters is → Memory capacity → SSD → Bandwidth → Cooling I found a Beelink SER 8 with a Ryzen 7 8845 HS, 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD on eBay for $480 Additional costs → External case: $25 Memory speed and RAM capacity are far more important. You don’t need 128 GB of RAM unless you’re running 70V models Here’s how things turned out after a week of using the mini PC LIama 3 works without any issues Qwen 3 responds instantly Electricity savings of around $20 a month AI subscriptions are free By buying a mini PC for yourself, you’re not just saving on electricity. You’re also saving on space. It will also be beneficial for companies not to have to maintain mini PCs, as they require no maintenance and incur no additional costs.

Warrior Aspie (@warrioraspie) reportedGM y'all! Here's the new project. I work on an SAR team and I have ATAK integrated with mesh on my phone but it's a pain to have to pull it out and look at it all the time while I'm working. So, new plan: Im going to find a cheap old GPS only Samsung Galaxy watch4 on eBay and use it to mirror my phones offline Google maps. I picked that watch because I need a smart watch that uses Wear OS because that will allow me to access and run actual Google maps natively within an app already designed to use them. Once I'm done I'll be able to have my watch running my location on gps and I just have to glance at my wrist. A lot less annoying than having to pull my phone out of a pouch or drop it down to look at it. Not a major problem by any means but fixing a small annoyance is still worth it.

Verlaxify (@Verlaxify) reportedI also forgot to include the mention of a post I made yesterday about people that are scamming their viewers and making people pay money for Sprites and this wasn't directed at Phill and his name wasn't even mentioned in the post either but yet again he assumes everything is about him when it's not. I don't watch his streams, I don't look at his Twitter account at all except for today obviously when people make me aware of a post made about me and again pretty much this entire week so far I've been helping work on my house. The post that I made about the Sprite issues too was also based off of stuff I've seen throughout last week and this week including where people are selling Sprites on Ebay and there have been people on YouTube streams begging people for SUBS or Money in exchange to them getting Sprites in return.

Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) reported@ItsaMeCooper @beckettcollect There’s an operation out of China right now that duplicates the slab cases and finds cert numbers for high end cards, and puts a low quality version in their fake slab to sell on eBay. If you look up the cert it seems valid. A company I’m working with is actually working on a product to solve this issue. What will matter most is if the Centering on the cert image was the same. If that’s the case there is also a potential for it to have been a **** up rather than a downright fraud. Beckett has moved to using computer vision for centering checks recently, and as someone who has built his own home pre-grading rig, I’ll note that computer vision has a hard time with metallic edge looking cards, but especially cards where the front image layer (creature and UI) overlaps the border like this card does with its evolution information on the upper left and right of the card. That would still be no excuse and it should be reviewed carefully as the lack of image on the grading report is sus. But, mistakes, external fraud, or single rogue employee are all more likely than large sinister operation.

green 💚🌈 (@creepsandcrawls) reported@TCGPokePlug @eBay I understand the market but anyone contributing to rediculous prices of cards/slabs or indirectly creating no MSRP is contributing to the problem of the hobby

H̵e̵a̸d̷C̶a̸n̴n̴o̵n̷1̵7̵7̶6̵ (@HeadCannon1776) reported@EdwardCollects the problem is the TGCplayer and eBay markets, you end us with sellers who do no research on what they have and over price things signaling others to do so as well. no piece of cardboard that took $1.25 to print should ever cost more than $20 on the secondary market.

inspector goole (@nerdkicker) reportedBack when I was obsessed with Dutch I switched my entire phone language to Dutch and then when I got sick of it I switched back to English but every so often it just creeps back in without my consent. Some apps (notably eBay) are fully in Dutch and I can’t fix it.

Andrew Wilkinson (@StartupsILike) reportedPierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

Buyervee Sellers Conglomerate (@BuyerveeSellers) reported@glacierptrading @Vfwbartender11 Why do you pick 30? Why not 60? 80? Would you be happy at $30? Prob not GME goes up and down. We all wanted a short squeeze. Ryan Cohen wants to buy eBay. These two things can work together, but it takes longer to capture the squeeze & get eBay. You either like the plan or sell.
-
Miserable🧈Fly (@MiserableFly4) reported@TrevorIRL I tend to think he’s likely waiting on the eBay target to fall by the way side or become far more attractive is it correlates with the boarder market. I don’t believe GME can get pushed down much further because collateral will become scarce for the shorts. Going to be fun to watch. Hoping nothing happens for another 4 more days, waiting for a large transfer.😬

Kiloton Winier (@binhacked1) reported@petriethedog I had hundreds. Over the years it got whittled down to 4 footlockers. Lost that about 15 years ago. Was sad but also liberating. I had been reading and collecting books since I was a boy. I got screwed selling a lot of it on ebay before an amtrack move from Boston to Orange County California in 2013.
