If an seller can't figure out how to use completed/sold auctions to set the price, and rejects offers based on that real-world price, just use the rest of your chances to send them $1 offers.

You were never going to get that item anyway, so might as well have fun with it.

This is a first for me - someone on is disappointed that I didn't hack a device that I'm selling there.

In a fit of nostalgia, I bought an old m105 from . I blame @neil — his stories of buying old hardware obviously inspired me.

Now to see what I can do with it, and if I can get it to sync with my 24.04 laptop.

operational transconductance amplifiers I bought on over 6 years ago. Date code doesn't make sense given that Intersil discontinued the over a decade ago. The real chip should have a diode across pins 4 and 5. Only one chip seems to have it -- but it is reversed. The rest have resistors between pins 1 and 4, and between 4 and 5, consistent with an op amp that provides offset null pins. Pin 8 also seems to be connected. Both 1 and 8 should be NC.

Someone has decapped one of these fake CA3080 ICs that have been selling on EBay as early as 2011.

https://huebnerie.de/2011/01/beware-of-the-fake-ca3080e/

The die mask claims to be LM4250. I already destroyed 2 of them trying to guess the pinout, but using the pinout of the LM4250 seems to work with 7 of them. They behave just like a jelly bean op amp.

At least the single rail #opamp #oscillator circuit works with these counterfeit chips. Maybe I'll turn them all into #LED blinkies and Schmitt triggers.

Fake OTA chip in a solderless breadboard wired up with resistors, a capacitor and a purple LED which blinks about 1-2 times a second when powered by a 9V battery

Google's passkeys, introduced in 2022, have become a popular and secure alternative to traditional passwords, being used over 1 billion times across 400 million-plus Google accounts. These passkeys, which rely on fingerprints, face scans, or PINs for authentication, are faster and more resistant to phishing than passwords. Google plans to integrate passkeys into its Advanced Protection Program, enhancing security for high-risk users. Additionally, third-party password managers like Dashlane and 1Password can now support passkeys, further expanding their use. The technology is supported by major companies like eBay, Uber, PayPal, and Amazon, indicating a shift towards passkey-based authentication as a more secure and efficient method.

Bei neu anmelden, E-Mail Verifizierungslink bestätigen, auf Aufforderung auch noch die Telefonnummer für weitere Verifizierung eingeben und nach dieser 2. Verifizierung einloggen, um dann die Meldung zu bekommen: "Ihr Account wurde wegen verdächtiger Aktivitäten gesperrt." WTF?!

Ich hatte mal vor Ewigkeiten einen Account bei denen, ich meine ihn nicht mal genutzt zu haben. Der Login war irgendwann mal zur Löschung markiert worden (ich meine: Auch nicht von mir, vermutlich Passivität). Ist es dann schon verdächtig, wenn man einen anderen anlegt?

Viele Services scheinen echt persönlich zu werden, wenn man längeres Desinteresse zeigt. Hatte ich bei Facebook auch schon. Wollte den Account nach jahrelanger Nichtnutzung löschen, aber um mich überhaupt wieder einloggen zu dürfen, brauchte es alle möglichen Dokumente und Formulare (sogar "Freunde" bei Facebook, die für mich bürgen, dass ich es bin.. ^^)

Nervt.

I was listing something on eBay, and they encourage starting with an existing listing—presumably to increase the amount of detail and decrease the amount of work.

When I selected the same model, I got a default description that was extremely robotic and wordy while just repeating the spec sheet. I thought it sounded LLM-generated; sure enough when I went to edit it, there is a big shiny “write with AI” button.

🤢

This is not actually helping anyone.
