If it is fake, it is quite possible the seller is unaware. Someone could have conned him. That happened to me with a 128gb card long time ago. I messaged the seller and he refunded me. I explained to him how I knew it was fake. No need to report it to PayPal.

I tend to disagree, quite often the sellers have total knowledge they are fakes and are relying on your or mine good nature that they don't get reported or people bother asking for refunds ...in my opinion anyone who receives a card that is fake especially from ebay should report it , far too many on there pulling the data capacity scam or just total fake like the Huawei 1tb

Morning All. Sure is quiet here these days!

I don't really understand the attraction to having a cat. I just see them as bird killers.

Our back garden is a bit of a bird sanctuary (for many years) and we often see cats hiding in bushes, etc. waiting for the birds. I throw a jug of water at the cats and they usually get the hint and move on. I am also not a big fan of magpies as they gang up on and prey on smaller birds.

Birds need drinking water all year long, to drink as well as to condition their feathers. We have a few bird baths in the garden and we are rewarded with an enjoyable spectacle all year round. Remember to change the water when it ices up during the winter months.

We buy ordinary peanuts and wash the salt off before hanging the bird feeder on the tree.

At the moment we have a pair of blackbirds building a nest in one of the bushes.

It is quiet round here, but no one is buying and the market has fallen out of the whole community, it is understandable though seeing as a lot of product's are coming from China which is only just coming out of lockdown, also people are more worried about there health and income ..let's face it the retail sector has severely taken a hit in every area apart from food.

On an audio note which has been few and far between with the circumstances, I have been using my comets and btr5 daily , I honestly can't see me changing this setup at work or on the go. It's near perfect for me , ultra portable and the comets fit well, sound great with the btr5 balanced and dont fall out at all.....its only vice is battery which is about 5 hours with ldac but I carry a usbc to usbc which powers it from phone and charges it too so your never totally dead in the water.
I'm not so certain il ever carry a dap on the go again with this and if it gets better and better is the on the go dap a thing of the past? .
Doesn't beat my dx160 andro ,s combo for sitting a listening though it's still by far King.

And now, for something completely different - the story of how James May managed to record the Top Gear theme music, using engine exhaust notes. :open_mouth:
