AiMind (@AIMind_Ai) reported1 evening turns an $80 office laptop from eBay into a home server that saves $1,500 a year. Most people shop for hardware first. The hardware has been sitting in a corporate closet for 4 years. An EliteBook or Latitude from 2017 goes for $80 to $130 stripped. 4 cores, 8GB of RAM, and it came with its own screen, keyboard, and battery backup. No rack server has any of those. Debian netinst is 755MB. Uncheck the desktop in the installer, and the system lands under 2GB on disk and idles near 200MB of RAM. Leave it checked, and you burn 1.5GB running a wallpaper you will see 0 times. CasaOS goes on top. 1 command, and in 3 minutes you have Docker, a web dashboard, and an app store. Plex, Immich, qBittorrent, Home Assistant, 1 click each. Then the part everyone skips. The IP goes in by hand. 192.168.1.17. Netmask 255.255.255.0. Gateway 192.168.1.1. DNS 1.1.1.1. Never DHCP. A router reboot at 4 in the morning hands the server a new address, and by breakfast every container is pointing at nothing. That is the morning most first home labs get unplugged for good. Then 1 line in logind so it keeps running with the lid shut. $80 spent. 1 evening. 1 machine that replaces $1,500 a year.

hotwheelsjack97 (@hotwheelsjack) reportedEbay app search sorted by “Best Match” is currently broken, only returning 0 listings. @eBay your backend is bad and you should feel bad.

Adam Cook (@acook783) reported@radioofam @CardPurchaser Following this as I've ran into similar issues as a buyer and seller on eBay lately. Some cards are scanned properly and others make it look like it wasn't shipped. Very inconsistent.
-
mozzwald (@mozzwald) reported@MakeAugusta I see no problem here. But, they could take those expensive screens off, sell them on ebay and make half their money back 🤑
-
Sam Hill (@sammyhill99) reported@MattInformed EBay recently did this as well. Give them your id, when they get hacked they'll tell you they regret the breach, and are work to remedy the problem.

Buddha (@scostigan1) reported@Scobleizer @blevlabs @grok Has anyone else been having problems with sites like eBay and Facebook detecting fraud when the grok bots access them. It looks like the “virtual machines” are running out of Chinese IP space and Datacenters. eBay and Facebook flagged them as suspicious ip’s from China

GundamFan (@0Gundamfan2) reported@Saturday_Anime I have a similar issue i have so many options parts i might bag up and put on ebay
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@sharrond62 I'm not sure putting £800 worth of easily carried equipment in your garden is that sensible unless you find a good way to fix it down. Be interesting to see how many turn up on eBay with "damage" cables

Kyle Hessling (@KyleHessling1) reportedQwen 3.8 Flash Next is an absolutely masterful architecture. I just resurrected a dinosaur build with it and got 18.4tps without any optimizations or spec decoding. Just wait until you hear the hardware stack: Ryzen 2700, old mining rig with a single 3080, 48 GB of completely mismatched sticks of DDR4. Tried running Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on the 3080 split to system ram, Ngram page file on the SSD, and got 2.4 tokens per second. Just wanted to try and see, but certainly not usable. Slapped the Nvidia V100 in with the 3080, added a bunch of layers to it (this is over PCIE 3 x8 btw, which is crazy slow) Immediately jumped to 18.4tps! Layers on the 3080, layers on the v100, layers in RAM, N gram on the SSD! This is without MTP, and the first result I got. Running Q1 but could probably fit a much higher quant now that we got the Frankenstein offload setup working. @Alibaba_Qwen is making efficiency and distributed computing changes that are completely unmatched. I can't wait to see where MTP and Dflash will take this on old hardware I just had lying around, plus a v100. Jerryrigs are about to become a lot more relevant! You could genuinely get a v100 off of eBay for $650 and slap it in the spare slot of your old gaming rig to do this!

Willain (@LikeAWillain) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN Or maybe people are willing to risk their listings being taken down for something that won’t ship til November. Let’s wait and see how eBay looks then.

Chris Matthias (parody) (@thetrickster88) reported@AcmePacks @eBay On your phone go to app settings and you can drill down into notification settings and you might be able to turn off notifications specifically for live events like I did.

Collector of Mess (@VintageCards2) reportedI spent the entire day at home yesterday. Like didn’t leave once. I legit don’t know the last time that’s happened. 10-20-30 years. I cooked, cleaned, bought coins on eBay, and took 3-4 naps. Might go down as the greatest day I’ve had.
-
G (@gianmt) reported@askebay I am completely locked out of my eBay account. When trying to sign in, the security system prompts a legacy verification screen asking me to call the phone number 02 006 31 268, which is disconnected There is no option to choose, creating an endless loop.
-
Eric the Red / Kelenic Collector (@FatherBreaks) reportedThere should be a filter on EBay that allows you to narrow down your search by Reasonably priced Or Stupidly overpriced @CardPurchaser
-
G (@gianmt) reported@eBay @askebay Of course I’ve done that first, but you need to be logged in, see my problem?
-
AkioSpider (@AkioSpiderTSS) reported@minaunlovable Is it general gift card or company specific cuz eBay and Amazon sell good condition refurbished for decent prices. Also used CPUs good too but bit riskier, I never had problems w used CPUs tho.
-
Dutch Tender Guy (@dutchtenderguy) reported@bb26115 Showing the world just how many shares we’d have to issue to buy eBay would destroy our stock price
-
Jesse BallCards (@JesseBallCards) reported@tjkcards @CardPurchaser @eBay Yeah the problem is the $.04 difference in shipping. You’re right. Egg on my face.
-
Booger “Ted” McPillows (@BoogerTed) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN Eh it was def bots / the limited supply, many eBay sellers know they can’t list a pre sale as it will get taken down. Xbox made a huge mistake marketing this so much to only release 25k units as well imo
-
Abe Strongjohn (@AbeStrongjohn) reportedi found the first few issues of the OG run of CF at a fleamarket after EVS was trying to start **** with my friends, I put them up on ebay just to get rid of them not only did I lose money, ebay eventually had to force the winning bidder to actually pay
-
Game Reaper 187. XRP (@GameReaper187) reported@Tyler70759922 @Thee_LBG @asha_shar Very few are on eBay vs the 25,000 manufactured. That indicates that a vast majority of buyers were people intending to keep them. Most people were simply too slow, and they're bitter about it.

Project Nexus (@ProjectNexusUS) reported@ThrillaRilla369 They died by 2010 for the most part. One I used to go to growing up still remains extremely popular with a steady 95%+ occupancy. Rental costs and poorly accepted businesses is what killed them. Coupled with the fact that that was by design, to discourage kids from hanging out at malls. They slowly put in more doctors office type businesses. Too many stores that were basically the same things, and businesses that appealed to older people who didn't go to malls anyway because of the younger people. They visited the anchors and that wasn't keeping the malls alive. They got rid of the stores that the younger people enjoyed first. Then it was all down hill. Also..and probably most importantly, store front rental costs went through the roof along with the other obvious factor, it became extremely cheap to buy the same things online through places like eBay and Amazon. Malls should and could easily make a comeback now though. They just need to offer experiences, places the younger AND older generations want to shop, and not have repeating themed stores.. oh one other thing...the other all I went to growing up was plagued by hoakey kiosk businesses that most of the time were run by total scammers . Selling cellphone cases and t shirts and pictures type stuff. And there was a lot of them. It was obnoxious.

Gian-Marc Antonio Capaccioli (@gmac817) reported@CardsMax I mean it's one thing if someone wants to buy it privately and have me take down my listing but I'm not changing the title for someone to buy it off me on eBay either lol

Andy 'life is short' Docherty (@docherty53) reported@vinted @vintedUK I am beginning to get very concerned about things.....the issues are getting worse. Plus the many negative comments on social media don't exactly inspire confidence. I am starting to move everything over to eBay just in case. #vinted

Impressive (@RocketSymbols) reportedI'm seeing some speculation that Ryan Cohen is preparing to return the money on the zero interest loans at the close of the 35 day conversion period which is why the stock is continuing to trend down. I didn't believe this at first but after seeing the vice grip the indenture put on the potential eBay deal it actually does make some sense that he would completely clean the slate, albeit keep $1.4b through equity conversion.
-
Christopher Hagan Huff (@metman40830923) reported@SoulKirk @eBay Ok just slow, but I expect that. I’m selling a collection. So I’m trying to get my money back and of course make a little clear profit. I been really tired. I would answer back more but just not feeling good now. I’ll get better though.

Jms 🇬🇧🚜 (@rijedaim) reportedWhy is it impossible to actually TALK to someone if you're having problems with payments as a seller? AI is no help at all. Going round in circles Poor customer service @eBay

TB (@TBSSPORTSCARDSx) reportedIs @eBay card scanning totally broken? Anytime I scan a card it now does something completely way off or my last typed search
