  The metal ice tray in that video freezes water 30 to 50 percent faster than the plastic one in your kitchen right now. Aluminum conducts heat roughly 1,000 times better than the plastic most modern ice trays are made from. The lever design was invented by a GE engineer named Edward Roberts, who filed the patent in 1949. At General Electric, it was sold as the Redi-Cube. Ads in the 1950s marketed it under names like "Magic Touch" and "Honeycomb," pitching the simple satisfaction of pulling one handle and cracking a full tray of ice loose at once, with no running water and no banging against the sink. By the 1970s, aluminum trays had largely vanished from American kitchens. The reason was cost. Roberts' son later described the Redi-Cube as being replaced by "simpler and cheaper plastic models," and he was right. After World War II, plastic manufacturing scaled up fast, and the price gap became too wide to ignore. The plastic trays that took over were worse in almost every way. They absorbed freezer odors and warped in the cold. When you twisted them to release ice, tiny plastic fragments broke off into the cubes. Researchers have found that using plastic ice trays can deposit microplastics directly into what you drink. The aluminum tray had none of these problems. The first automatic ice maker appeared in a home refrigerator around 1953. But it took until the 1980s to become a standard fixture in American homes. In between, they ran on plastic trays, stuck between a better design they had abandoned and convenience they had not yet reached. Vintage aluminum ice trays sell on eBay for $10 to $20. A new stainless steel version of the same design sells on Amazon for $20 to $25.

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay They added the sales tax to the order total and then subtracted it. That has no impact to you. Your fees were $419. Your sale must have been around $2900 and you received almost $2500. So, what’s the issue?

  Back 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.

  Problem with alot of businesses these days is they hold your money to longest possible extent before you receive a payout. Yet everyone you pay wants paid on time . It’s a super annoying issue. Can’t tell me a multimiilion dollar apartment complex doesn’t have the funds to pay you your deposit on time in accordance with the law. Don’t get me started on insurance companies and ebay… like pulling teeth man.

  @WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser Lost every single card as excellent or below. That saves you from any condition issues. For the tracking issue call eBay. There’s a new scam happening. Never refund anyone unless they open a case. Always call eBay

  @Gammitin @uhf_satcom Sweet. I’ve seen some beaten ones turn up on eBay from time to time and I’ve considered getting one to tinker with. What sort of experience be do you have with it? Is it one of those frustrating to fix bug amazing when it works things?

  @RetroCoast I bought a used personal hidden camera on eBay because I needed just the recorder portion for a well/bore camera. It came with an SD card that had been wiped but I started to wonder what the previous owner would use it for. I had software I used to recover from corrupted memory cards and gave it a shot. It took all night but the next day there were 4 separate video files recovered. I played the files one by one, it was a man filming his apartment tours, he had the camera hidden about chest level, it was all very boring, filling applications and talking to apartment managers. I said, what a waste of time and skimmed through the last video, at the end, something caught my eye, it was him getting into his car while swinging HIS PURSE into the passenger seat, he was mumbling to himself sounding discouraged, then he sat down into the driver's seat for the great reveal, dainty women's dress shoes, pumps or heels or whatever, hairy legs and a tight fitting dress! This DUDE was trying to get anyone to openly discriminate against him for being a freak, ultimately it didn't work so he sold his hidden camera system.

  Let’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

  A four-year-old Android TV box botnet called Popa — a plugin layer inside the larger Vo1d/Badbox 2.0 ecosystem — has been traced with high confidence to NetNut, a residential proxy subsidiary of Alarum Technologies Ltd. Alarum trades on NASDAQ as ALAR. It closed today at $9.205, up 1.27%. The market hasn't read Krebs yet. Three firms published simultaneously today: Qurium, Synthient, and Spur. Coordinated disclosure, not a single-researcher allegation — specifically structured so that legal pressure on any one outlet can't kill the story. That's a tell about what the researchers expected to happen next. The linchpin of the attribution isn't a leaked document. It's a LinkedIn profile. Ninjatech[.]io — one of the C2 domains that survived the Badbox 2.0 disruption in July 2025 and was re-registered within days to keep Popa running — traces directly to Moishi Kramer, whose LinkedIn identifies him as VP of R&D at NetNut, where he credits himself for building the company from the ground up. He says Ninjatech was sold five years ago and he has no visibility into current infrastructure. Synthient's SDK reverse-engineering disagrees: outbound traffic from Popa devices flows directly to NetNut client infrastructure. The consent fiction is the most important technical detail. NetNut's defense is that Popa asks users for consent before enrolling their device as a proxy node. Synthient analyzed over 20 active Popa publishers. None of them were observed asking for user consent. Not one. The consent mechanism exists in recent SDK builds as a legal fig leaf. It doesn't function in the wild. Spur published first, on June 8, and established the KYC collapse. Despite Alarum's claim that NetNut performs rigorous customer verification, a burner email and $5 in crypto buys full proxy access through downstream resellers — no corporate verification, no meaningful due diligence. The "verified corporations only" claim is, per Spur, marketing copy, not access control. The botnet survived a major takedown and rebuilt in days. Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro jointly disrupted Badbox 2.0 in July 2025, seizing most of the original Popa C2 domains. Within days, several dozen new domains were registered as replacements. The VP of R&D's old domain being among them is not a coincidence. Scale: 1.4M+ compromised Android TV box IPs. Active for roughly four years. Primary uses: ad fraud, account takeovers, mass data scraping. MITRE T1496 (resource hijacking), T1090 (proxy), T1584.005 (botnet via pre-compromised supply chain), T1195 (supply chain compromise). The devices are sold on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress under thousands of model names, marketed as cheap streaming boxes. The malware is pre-installed at the factory or bundled into pirated streaming apps. The user never sees a consent dialog. The user never knows. This is not really a botnet story. It's a business model story. The gray-zone residential proxy industry — companies that monetize bandwidth from ostensibly consenting users to sell anonymous residential IP traffic to paying clients — has been a known eCrime enabler for years. What's new is the scale of the evidence, the quality of the attribution, and the fact that the alleged operator is publicly traded on a US exchange. If Synthient's SDK analysis holds, Alarum Technologies is running a NASDAQ-listed business whose core product relies on a network that nobody actually consented to join. That's not a gray zone. That's a SEC disclosure problem, a potential FTC enforcement action, and depending on the customer mix, possibly a CFAA exposure. We are nothing if not consistent. The account takeover angle is where this touches your stack directly. Popa's 1.4M residential IPs are used to bypass fraud detection systems that rely on IP reputation — credential stuffing, account takeover campaigns, and ad fraud all route through this pool because residential IPs don't trip the blocklists that datacenter IPs do. If your security stack uses IP reputation as a fraud signal, residential proxy networks like Popa are specifically designed to blind it. Layer behavioral signals — velocity, session patterns, device fingerprints — because the IP layer is compromised as a reliable signal at this volume. The supply chain vector is the one worth flagging for enterprise teams. These boxes sit plugged into home-office and occasionally corporate networks, behind the firewall, with a persistent encrypted tunnel open to C2 infrastructure that reconstitutes in days after a major joint takedown. The Badbox 2.0 / Vo1d device list published by Google and HUMAN Security in July 2025 is the reference. Check against it. NetNut is a commonly used proxy provider in ad-tech and market research. If any vendor in your supply chain routes traffic through NetNut for data enrichment or competitive intelligence, you may have indirect exposure to this network. ALAR is up 1.27% at $9.205 on 124K shares as of 17:43 ET. The Krebs piece dropped at 17:37. Watch the open tomorrow.

  @eBay you need to do better. Your customer support doesn’t work. How do I speak to you? I just tried your automated service and it’s broken.

  Just pulled down all of my sub $20 listings from @ebay. Sick and tired of @USPS employees stealing cards I sell. 3 of the last 7 cards I mailed never got to the destination. That coupled with all of the check stealing and scrubbing going on the standard mail service can't be trusted. Yes they were all tracked. Only certified mail from now on.
