I bought the same office chair twice from what turned out to be the same company. Both times the exact same thing happened. I'll keep this as short as I can.

First order — Tesco Marketplace, 21 June, £29.99

Placed the order with Monumart Limited. Got a dispatch email saying Yodel was delivering, with a tracking number. Tried to track it. Postcode didn't match the tracking number. Every time.

Emailed the seller. They said the parcel was "lost" and they had no more stock. Offered a refund.

Fine. I accepted. Then I searched for the same chair again and found the same seller listing the same chair — same photos, same description, everything — but now at £49.99. I emailed them about it. Their answer? "It's a different chair, it might just look the same." It wasn't a different chair.

I also noticed two things that bothered me. One, you can't leave seller reviews on Tesco Marketplace (why?). Two, the order had been marked as "delivered." Nothing was ever delivered.

Second order — eBay, 25 June, £29.99

Found the chair on eBay from a seller called UKmart365. Same price. Placed the order. Got a Yodel tracking number. Postcode didn't match. Again.

I checked the seller info on eBay and the registered business name was Monumart Limited. Same company, different platform name.

Contacted them about the tracking issue. Got almost the same email back — last one in stock, it's been lost, would you like a refund? I asked them to show me any proof that either order was actually sent. Proof of dispatch, an explanation for the tracking numbers, anything. They refused every time. Just generic replies.

This order is also marked as "delivered." I'm still waiting on the refund.

So both orders:

• Tracking numbers that didn't match my postcode!
• Seller claimed the item was "lost"!
• Order marked as "delivered" when nothing arrived!
• No proof of dispatch provided when I asked!

I have screenshots of everything — the emails, both listings, the tracking pages, the order statuses, the price change.

What I'd like to know:

• What's the best channel to report this in England, UK? I haven't reported anywhere yet. Action Fraud? Trading Standards? Both?
• Has anyone dealt with Monumart Limited or UKmart365 before???
• Why would a seller mark something as "delivered" when it clearly wasn't — is there a platform incentive I'm not seeing?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a custom BetterTouchTool (BTT) widget integration I put together to display live Gemini and Claude models tokens percentages (both weekly and hourly/5-hour) right on the MacBook Touch Bar.

It was designed to be clean, invisible when not needed, and incredibly convenient for monitoring tokens left when pair-programming.

Features:
* Model Separation: Displays remaining tokens for Gemini (`G`) and Claude (`C`) side-by-side (e.g., `G: 28% (3d9h) · 42% (4h10m) | C: 0% (6h32m) · 0%`).
Refresh Countdowns: Dynamically parses and displays countdown timers (like `(4h10m)` or `(3d8h)`) when your weekly or hourly are partially or fully exhausted.
* App-Scoped Visibility: The widget is configured to only show up when the Antigravity application window is frontmost/active on screen. Once you focus another app (Chrome, Finder, etc.), it hides automatically to keep your Touch Bar clean and save battery.
* Quick Access: Tapping the widget on your Touch Bar instantly launches or focuses your Antigravity application.

Prerequisites:

1. A MacBook with a Touch Bar (physical or virtual).
2. [BetterTouchTool (BTT)](https://folivora.ai/) installed.
3. Python 3 with the `websocket-client` package installed.

---

Setup:
I've published the code, BTT presets, and a detailed setup guide on GitHub so anyone can use it:

🔗 GitHub Repository: [Pedipedro96/antigravity-touchbar](https://github.com/Pedipedro96/antigravity-touchbar)

It takes about 3 minutes to set up:

1. Save the python scraper script to `~/.antigravity-touchbar/`.
2. Import the `.bttpreset` file into BetterTouchTool.
3. Set your local `python3` executable path in BTT and you're good to go!

Check out the repo for the code and step-by-step instructions. Let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests!

I was just sitting there thinking this touch bar could be useful and I thought nothing beats seeing my tokens left on it.

So i asked the agent and let it go wild. And made it happen after two hours and consuming literally the last drop of my hourly tokens.

If it’s useful to anyone let me know i will ask my agent to make a handover or skill for your agent to do it in 5 minutes and hopefully way less tokens.

G-W: Google models weekly tokens left
G-5H: hourly left of Google models

C-W: Claude models weekly Tokens left
G-5H: Hourly left of Claude models

Hi everyone,

Over the last 40 days I've been tracking part-time vacancies across Brighton & Hove through my project, Brighton PartTimer (https://BrightonPartTimer.co.uk).

I've monitored more than 100 employer career pages and job boards twice a day and collected data on roughly 300 local openings. A few patterns surprised me:

1. Tuesday morning is by far the busiest hiring period Most new vacancies appear on Tuesday afternoons. If you're only checking jobs later in the week, you're often seeing listings that already have a massive head start on applicants.

2. Big retailers move fast Roles from employers such as Tesco and Aldi can disappear extremely quickly. In several cases, applications stopped being accepted within 6 hours of the vacancy appearing online.

3. Entry-level jobs attract applicants almost immediately For roles requiring little or no experience, I've seen massive traffic within the first hour of a posting going live (I'm often redirecting 10+ applicants in the first 60 minutes). Being early genuinely matters.

4. The high-street "hidden" market Brands such as Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear, H&M and Ikea rarely advertise their standard part-time roles on their job boards. They rely almost exclusively on internal referral programs and direct talent pools.

5. Most jobs are effectively filled long before they expire Many listings remain online for 7 days or more, but employers often receive enough strong applications within the first 24 hours. A vacancy being online doesn't necessarily mean your application is even being opened or reviewed.

Some interesting numbers from the last 40 days:

• Around 300 part-time vacancies have been posted in Brighton over the last 40 days.
• Hospitality was the most active sector, with Retail a close second.
• Employers posting frequently included: The Flour Pot Bakery, Trading Post Coffee Roasters, Wetherspoon, Co-op, Tesco, Boots, The Ivy Asia, NHS, and Sodexo.

One thing this data keeps showing is that speed is often more important than people realise. Don't spend hours tweaking a CV for a 3-day-old post. It's a numbers game: apply fast, expect nothing, and move to the next one.

Because speed dictates everything here, I'm currently exploring an auto-apply service for Brighton PartTimer. The idea is simple: you upload your CV and tell the system what kind of role you're looking for. When a matching vacancy drops, your application is submitted instantly so you're always in that first 1-hour wave, rather than discovering the job hours later when the portal is already closing.
Although, I'm still working through the technical side of how to implement this cleanly.

If you’ve used my website, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts, what could make it easier to use, what’s missing, and how it could be improved.

Found this necklace at Brighton Beach today.
If it’s yours or you know the owner, send me a message with some details to confirm. 🙏

A few days ago, i posted about losing my mind trying to find a part-time job here because the big job boards are filled with full-time roles in Crawley hidden under "part-time" tags, or postings that look like data-harvesting scams.(Link to the original post)

Reading people's comments made me realise finding genuine, flexible local work is a nightmare for everyone. Not just international students fighting visa limits, but locals too.

So, instead of complaining, I decided to build a solution:

https://brightonparttimer.co.uk

I built this to be exactly what I wished existed: A pure local job board 

• 100% free & no sign ups: You don't even need to make an account to see the jobs. Just click and apply.
• Zero Data harvesting: I don't want your data. I just want people to find work.
• Strictly local: Only Brighton and Hove roles.
• Clear tags: Filter easily for "Weekend," "Evening," "Seasonal," or "Tier 4 Friendly."

How it works: Right now, the AI agents monitor around 30 different retailer and business websites (adding more daily to the list). When a new part-time role drops, the AI instantly pulls it, formats it, and posts it. It automates the entire process so you don't have to check 30 different career pages every morning. I have about 40 active jobs live right now and it is growing.

I’m really grateful for the premium AI tools and resources provided to me by the University of Sussex and Google! i spent the last 3-4 days using AI agents to code and structure this entire platform. It is very much a Minimum Viable Product with a lot left to do, but I know it can help people right now.

My question for you guys: My ultimate goal is for local, independent cafes, pubs, and shops to use this. I'm planning to build a super simple, zero-friction page where local managers can post their open shifts directly. Do you think local business owners would actually use something like this? instead of sticking a paper sign in the window?

Let me know what you think of the site, if the layout works, or if there are specific local places i should tell the AI to track!

A formal apology to the Hovarians, i couldn’t fit "Hove" into the domain name, but I promise the jobs cover Hove as well.
