  @eBay @eBay This is useless. I don’t need to contact support — I need you to actually fix your broken system. You make bidders add a payment method but still let them ghost for four days. Stop wasting sellers’ time with these automated non-answers and just charge the damn card when they win an auction.

  Unrelated, but pennies made before 1982 were actually made from copper and as such they’re worth more than a normal penny. I used to help my dad sort out rolls of pennies for the copper ones and then he’d sell the copper pennies for more than he paid. You’d think there wouldn’t be much money in that, but you’d be wrong (sort of). Just so happened one of the pictures he listed on eBay had a penny with a mint error ( double die - the penny had been ran through the die more than once and you could see overlap on the lettering). He didn’t know it was valuable, but a random eBay buyer offered him a few hundred bucks just for that one penny. He found a few more mint errors on pennies, but none that were as valuable as the double die.

  @whitebriefsbro You’re acting like this is bad news. Sorry, I don’t buy cheap underwear. Fruit of the Loom’s stitching and fabric are terrible. They own BVD, but not the Japanese rights, so I buy Japanese BVD on eBay. If it’s holding my junk, I want quality, not bargain-bin fabric.

  You don’t need a data center to start a home lab. You need $50 and an old laptop. Most people think home-labbing requires racks, enterprise gear, and a server room budget. It doesn’t. A home lab is just a computer, or a few, doing jobs: file storage, media server, router, a box to break and fix. Part 1 - What actually counts as hardware → An old laptop you already own. Keyboard, mouse, monitor built in. → Any desktop tower gathering dust. → Nothing lying around? Check Facebook Marketplace, eBay, thrift stores. 3 brands to search for: HP ProDesk/EliteDesk. Dell OptiPlex. Lenovo ThinkStation/ThinkCentre. Part 2 - Pick your size Full tower. SFF (small form factor). Mini PC. Same capability, different footprint. Want something smaller still? A Raspberry Pi runs on add-on boards called HATs. Budget mini PCs work too - no single brand dominates that category yet. Part 3 - Don’t overspend on day 1 Buy what you’re comfortable losing if you hate it. Scale up later. Nobody starts with a rack. Here’s what a scaled setup actually looks like 1 access point (Ero 6 Pro) for wireless. 1 Sodola 2.5G switch feeding a patch panel - patch panels exist purely to organize cable runs, front to back. 2 Ironwolf drives bolted to a Lenovo ThinkStation, the actual workhorse running every app. A fan blowing cold air across the drives. A PDU keeping power clean. The rack itself: a 3D-printed frame called the Mod10. No printer? A GeekPie aluminum frame does the same job - modular, expandable as your setup grows. Start with the laptop in your closet. The rack comes later.

  I think it's quite obvious what the near future of consumer AI looks like, and I think that future became obvious with the releases last week from @OpenAI. Last week we received GPT 5.6 models, and GPT Live. Both represented big qualitative shifts in capability. For me, working with GPT 5.6 is night-and-day compared with 5.5. Where 5.5 was very capable, but pedantic, myopic, and more represented a faustian bargain (you get what you asked for, but you get what you asked for), 5.6 seems to infer intent and provide useful normative guidance more. Today, for example, I noticed my sneakers were wearing out. I started a new codex task just saying "Can you reorder my adidas sneakers again". I bought these in 2024, so it it read my daily notes I keep, looked through my email for receipts of purchases, found the model and size, noted it was out of stock, looked on ebay for matches, weighted a few options by vendor reputation, filled out the details of my address etc. and came back to me when it was ready for review and to initiate the transaction. In terms of my professional work, it's profoundly helpful. My mornings are now spent with printed memos that it's prepared, where I review status, diagrams, methodological decisions. My afternoons are spent revising, validating, reviewing this work. And the evenings are spent setting up the next batch of work to run. In terms of GPT Live, the past few days, I've gone for walks and instead of listening to 90 minutes of podcasts, I might listen to 30, and speak with GPT live for 60 minutes. I often have it on ambiently in the background while I work, in case I want to query it, which is a direct replacement for opening chatgpt and asking it, which itself was a direct replacement for Google, which I haven't been on directly in quite some time. For me, the shape that work takes in the following few months feels like this: some device you already own can be your "always on" GPT live system. This is embedded in codex, and knows what sessions/tasks are going on. You don't need to interface with a computer as much because you can talk through your airpods. The previous example of re-ordering my sneakers is just a voice command "oh hey can you reorder my sneakers", and the response (when its ready for you to pay) is some form of notification. I can't sense whether it's better for an audio notification from GPT Live itself, or some nearby device (e.g. a push notification on the phone, or a phone call for example with GPT-Live routed to it). For professional work, this can of course still require computers, but for many professionals, the shape of that computer does not need to be the same. I think a lot of the interesting demos around e-ink "Tom Riddle's" diary may be a desirable form factor. Instead of me - for example - receiving printed memos (through some $print skill via a /goal), I would instead have some kind of performant e-ink tablet that is essentially a thin codex client, that can translate things I write or speak at it, into updated versions of work). However, that thinking may be too narrow and is probably omitting other senses too much, as well as slowing down human-computer interactions too much as well. The next form factor after that is glasses, because the next endstate for something like GPT-Live is making it really good at just picking up audio AND video. Then, you have two products: you have glasses which can ambiently monitor sound and video, and you have small nice looking mic/video setups in rooms. In this way, the shape of work returns to some post-MadMen style workplace: nice interiors, a couple of whiteboards, with little cameras and videos capturing content, inferring it, and producing the stuff that people used to do. Of course, audio may be too slow in that world, and so we then would need to think about BCI and basically wiring Codex up to thoughts. It's my understanding that a few labs are working on this, and I would imagine the form-factor would be either glasses or an airpods like apparatus eventually (not a cowboy hat ala @tbpn). Ignoring the potential profound psychological impacts of being able to communicate thoughts immediately to a computer which can then respond at 750 tokens/second via cerebras), this certainly makes for a better shape of work than what has been the case for the past decade or two (eyes fixed to screen, talking is a way for humans to know what to do next on screen). I think those forms maybe became more obvious to me last week given 5.6 capacity to just chip away competently, seemingly without fail, and gpt-live's ease of use, and new breadth of capability. This of course, assumes a world where humans still have some useful position, and that is not a given!

  @herschcox @CardPurchaser If you ship through ebay they get notified by email & if they miss that they can see it on their orders page. If you ship outside of ebay & add the tracking number they get the exact same info. You said "USPS side issue" as if it wasnt delivered? In that case they get a refund.

  Most sports card sellers on eBay are leaving thousands on the table — wrong listings, missed grading opportunities, terrible timing. CardPeak Consulting evaluates collections, optimizes your eBay presence, and guides you to top-market prices. We don't buy your cards.

  Ugh, so much plastic gear turning up broken. I suspect a lot of it is because of parcels being thrown around, but there's also a lot of bad packing, like one or two layers of bubble and then the rest of box is full of space for the items to fly around in, feels like the ration of horses with their tails still attached is 5 to 1. Trains, if they're in their original box, they never pad them out, so when they arrive, all the brittle front engine parts are smashed. I stopped trying to get a good one because it felt like I was slaughtering the vintage product line by have so many turn up damaged, I mean old brittle plastic, no effective protection. So many do a really good job. I mean, I tell folk it turned up without a tail, or xy broken and it just upsets everyone. And as you're the one that received it, it's like it's your fault, first anyone has heard of broken. And no one wants to ruin someone’s 100% ebay feedback. So it just goes on and on. I don't think it's about have ebay stuff, it's about it turning up in one piece, after nth goes. nth folk bad packing and delivery screw ups. Shopping, retail therapy should be a good time. But by time its gone through the mill of bad packing and delivery, the dream has turned into a stressful nightmare.

  This dam was built by highly corrupt SNC Lavelin. It was supposed to be 12 billion. It was over 20. There has yet to be any audit . It was built of the soft earthen banks of the peace & is highly likely to fail or its banks catastrophically collapse EBay had best stand down

  @ValueAddedRS @ODB123 @ryancohen If price goes down, EBay looks fraudulent for not accepting the $125 offer. If the price goes up, Ryan/GME looks like geniuses for accumulating unrealized gains. So, we trade sideways (for now), but eventually, something will give, and therefore, a backup plan is not needed.

  @alanwatts21 @ryancohen I won’t be surprised if we find out that these fraud heavy accounts are pulling in money for the USAID/NGO vacuum that DOGE created. The issue with USPS tracking numbers being fed to the fraudsters to provide a faux proxy delivery within a zip code where the eBay buyer resides is very suspicious. The USPS refuses to give info of point of delivery that proves the delivery was made to a location NOT the buyer’s eBay registered address makes me think USPS is party to the scam.

  @deleted_scenes1 There was, but it's long out of print. Best chance of getting a reasonably priced set, brand new, is a U.K. set on Ebay. Normally, that wouldn't be an issue, but I'm lacking a couple of essentials right now. Good thing I'm seeing someone uploaded it to YouTube.

  @somilagrawal @janwhyy No, Indians have a high rate of abusing the return facility. This has wrecked the e-commerce industry in India by and large, almost no D2C selling through online have made consistent profit in India, marketplaces that facilitated C2C transaction like Ebay India have closed down.

  @AgentFitz00 @PSAcard Absolute clown take. PSA makes a lot of mistakes and I prefer grading with an automated AI grader like TAG, but this is a terrible take still. Just go on eBay and pick some random base card and compare a PSA 10 value to a TAG 10 or a SCG 10 of the same card and tell me it doesn’t matter. PSA will sell 10 times faster than a TAG 10.

  @LordCharizard33 Ya I feel that man. I've only tried like 4 releases now, and have been let down every time. **** is always sold out. What I don't understand is how people are able to do pre sales on eBay for these items when getting them is not guaranteed. I really think something is broken.
