“He must have forgotten I love making things look brand new.”

The pool quickly turns from dirty and dingy to clean, thanks to TKTKs cleaning hack.
She used Zep degreaser and a magic eraser to make the pool shine again.
The degreaser costs about $13, and the magic eraser cost about $5 for a pack of two.
So not only is Tera’s cleaning hack effective, but it’s also cheap.

Man vs. Dish: How one researcher used a $25 homemade device to hack into Elon Musk’s Starlink system
With over 3,000 small satellites in orbit, Elon Musk‘s Starlink has created an excellent fleet orbiting Earth at the moment providing satellite internet access coverage in 36 countries. However, all it took was one Belgian cyber security researcher, a $25 homemade device, and a dream to reveal the first major security flaw in Starlink’s user terminals.
This past Thursday at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, Belgian security researcher Lennert Wouters showcased how he hacked into the Starlink internet system using a homemade circuit board or modchip that cost around $25 to develop, WIRED reports.
To do this, WIRED explains, Wouters had to strip down the satellite dish, allowing him to attach a custom modchip using cheap, off-the-shelf parts. Once attached, the homemade printed circuit board launches a fault injection attack that bypasses Starlink’s security system, and allows access to control functions Starlink had intended to keep locked down.
“As an attacker, let’s say you wanted to attack the satellite itself,” Wouters explained to WIRED, “You could try to build your own system that allows you to talk to the satellite, but that’s quite difficult. So if you want to attack the satellites, you would like to go through the user terminal as that likely makes your life easier.”
Starlink’s system is divided into three major parts: The satellites, the gateways sending internet connections, and the user terminals referred to as “Dishy McFlatface” by Musk’s employees — the dishes people can buy, in other words. According to WIRED, Wouters’ research focused on the Dishy McFlatfaces.
Wouters revealed the vulnerability to SpaceX last year and the company paid him through its bug bounty program. Starlink, in response to Wouters’ showcase, published a six-page PDF explaining how it secures its systems along with a firmware update that “makes the attack harder, but not impossible, to execute.”
Since 2018, Starlink has slowly established itself in the industry and has become a vital tool in keeping Ukrainians connected during the Russian invasion. According to Musk in May, Starlink has so far thwarted all cyberattacks coming from Russia.

UAE Now Requires Agents to Report Real Estate Transactions Where Virtual Currency Is Used as Payment
Hackers and fraudsters used crypto bridge RenBridge to launder $540 million, says report
Hackers, fraudsters, and others laundered at least $540 million through the cryptocurrency bridge network RenBridge since 2020, according to blockchain analysis group Elliptic. Elliptic researchers published the report today, citing RenBridge as an example of the risks of decentralized cross-chain networks.
RenBridge is pitched as a way to easily convert virtual currencies like ZCash and Bitcoin to the Ethereum network and then to other blockchains. But “as well as a legitimate tool, cross-chain bridges have also emerged as a key facilitator of money laundering,” letting users avoid regulations and move money easily across networks, the report says. That includes the proceeds of ransomware operations and theft from other chains.

I used secret Dollar Tree products and they make my home look classier – but no one knows how little I paid
WITH just a few cheap products from the dollar store, you can make some classy pieces of furniture to ‘glam up’ your space and stay within your budget.
A DIY expert has used Sterilite crates that cost $1.25 and other products from Dollar Tree to create “fake, high-end decor” to organize her space.

Sterilite crates only cost $1.25 from Dollar Tree, but can have many uses[/caption]
YouTuber Bargain Bethany stacks crates together with zip ties and creates shelves for the insides of the container with foam board and marble contact paper.
Using the designed paper from Dollar Tree gives it a “glam look on foam,” and the expert uses an Exacto knife for a clean cut. Bethany spraypaints the outside of the structure with Rustoleum metallic gold spray paint.
Once the paint dries, the YouTuber glues cheap 5×7 picture frames to the top of the unit to make it all come together.
Bargain Bethany also demonstrated how to create a floating shelf, explaining that she recommends zip ties instead of glue – or even using a drill if the content of the shelf is too heavy.

“You can use this concept in any room of your house and use it to hang different items,” Bethany explains, showing a nursery room decorated with a floating crate shelf.
One use for a floating shelf could be to store cleaning items. You can also attach binder rings to the bottom of the crates in order to hang brooms or mops without them touching the floor.
In her video, Bargain Bethany also showed how to create a vanity makeup organizer by making a hutch with the crates for a cheap price.
“I used 26 crates for the base of this, so if you make it exactly the way that I did, it will cost you $32.25,” Bethany calculated as she made the vanity.

She shared that if the foamboard doesn’t look high quality enough for your liking, you can always grab some wood at your local hardware store.

In another video, Bethany also found that she could create a wedding arch with simple items like a broomstick and a pool noodle.
Meanwhile, a budget pro made a meal for six after spending $7 at Dollar Tree.
