What are the odds that "OEM" ebay items are real?

I was looking at this https://www.ebay.com/itm/358459095132 and a dozen other similar listings that were priced at the same range, and I became suspicious based on what I had expected OEM parts like this to be priced at.

Update - Learnings and Conclusion:

It does seem that there are a few "tells" that indicate counterfeit/misrepresented items, and some search filters that drop many suspicious listings:

  1. Adding a filter of Brand: Honda seems to quickly trim many of the low-priced, suspicious listings. It's not proof of authenticity, but it's a useful filter.

  2. The term "Genuine Honda" appears to be something suspicious listings avoid. It's a much stronger claim about the actual manufacturer than simply saying "OEM."

  3. If the Honda logo is blurred/pixelated/erased in the product images, I'd consider that a significant red flag, especially when everything else looks like genuine Honda packaging. My original assumption was that showing the Honda logo on a fake product was more legally damning, but it's probably more about trademark enforcement/detection and reducing ambiguity. Explicitly claiming a counterfeit is "Genuine Honda" would be problematic too.

  4. Terms like "OEM" appear to be nebulous enough that they're used pretty freely. It can mean original manufacturer, OEM replacement, OEM-spec, OE-equivalent, etc. I wouldn't take "OEM" to mean Genuine Honda by itself.

None of these are guarantees, so YMMV. This also assumes that a seller of legitimate parts knows to lean into the not-fake indicators when creating their listing.

The biggest tell to me is the combination of a much lower price, avoiding "Genuine Honda," and deliberately removing the Honda logo from otherwise Honda-looking packaging.

Any other chair setups?

I had this setup with my Moonlander too, but it works so much better with the Voyager because of the magnetic detachments, and the lighter weight. I've been doing this for years.

Codex|Antigravity|Claude|Opencode

I am currently maintaining Termux-compatible forks of each repo that have automated release mirroring and artifact testing for each of these apps.

These all work in regular Termux, without proot. The only dependencies you might need, depending on the app, are ca-certificates, glibc, glibc-runner, and resolv-conf.

For Codex and Opencode, I'm patching each release branch with Termux compatible code changes.

For Antigravity and Claude, I'm patching the binary and creating a launcher/wrapper binary to inject compatibility for Termux.

I have them all set to have their update and auto update functions to pull from my forks, but my Claude and Opencode forks are new, so I'll find out if that works when there's a new release.

GitHub Actions in a Termux Environment

I made a GH Actions reusable workflow that lets you run/exec whatever you want inside of Termux running on free GH ARM runners.

https://github.com/wallentx/gh-actions/blob/main/.github/workflows/termux-run.md

Use it like:

jobs:
  termux:
    uses: wallentx/gh-actions/.github/workflows/termux-run.yml@main
    with:
      packages: |
        clang
      copy-paths: |
        README.md
      env: |
        TERMUX_RUN_MODE=ci
      commands: |
        set -Eeuo pipefail
        test "$TERMUX_RUN_MODE" = "ci"
        clang --version
        cat README.md

Here it is being used https://github.com/wallentx/codex-termux/actions/runs/28078173338/job/83126808625

I got laid off and made JobScout - a job finding, and application tracking TUI

I got laid off in October and started working on this, initially as a way to track "evidence" for my biweekly unemployment check-ins.

Eventually it transformed, and I showed it off on LinkedIn, and people wanted to use it, so I spent quite a while making it usable by anyone.

So here it is: https://github.com/wallentx/jobscout

It has some pretty killer features, such as:

  • Job criteria profile based on your resume
  • Software engineer focused (but not limited to) job boards and feeds
  • Company health score based on a secret blend of herbs and spices
  • Company info enrichment (grabs more details that what the apply page provides)
  • Optional LLM enhanced functionality

The gif is sped up quite a bit, so it may take a few minutes to retrieve jobs. (I actually made an entire separate webapp just to edit the gif.. still a WIP, but https://github.com/wallentx/gifclip)

Give it a star if it helps you with the job hunt 🫡

▲ 1 r/crv

My wife has a CRV mentioned in the title, and I have a 2003 Honda S2000. I've experienced when driving the CRV, especially near the shoulder, or if there is unevenness in the road, what that I'm familiar with as "bump steer", which can happen in similar situations with lowered s2ks. The CRV isn't modded at all, and I'm not suggesting that what is happening is due to the same thing that causes "bump steer", but it feels the exact same. I saw the "sticky steering" reddit thread, and I don't know if what I'm describing fits the same profile as "sticky steer".

The "bump steer" feeling doesn't always happen in conjunction with lane assist beeping, but it sometimes does.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
