I'm looking for a better Aer Go Pack

As title says, I have an Aer Go Pack 2 for travel. I genuinely like it. It's very packable in a suitcase, light, has just the right amount of dividers and pockets (I carry a camera cube in it so I don't need 2 main partitions), the big front dump pocket is really handy and it has a bottle pocket on each side.

However, the straps suck. They basically have no padding, at all. So it's not comfortable if the bag gets a bit heavier. It's also missing a chest strap (kinda weird for a 20L bag but okay) and I'm not a fan of the wrinkly fabric. And although the camera cube fixes the sturdiness somewhat, it's a very floppy pack. I've put a Fjallraven seat pad in it to give it some spine.

Does anyone know of a bag with the same volume and more or less the same layout that's also pretty easily packable but has better straps, maybe a chest strap, is build a bit sturdier and made out of X-Pac or a comparable fabric? I'm okay with it being heavier of course.

EU people: knives are back on Aliexpress?

Anyone else from the EU noticed knives popping up again on Aliexpress? Saw some Jufule and Lemifshe knives. Also some Benchmade and Microtech clones + Trivisa and such. Either the ban is clearing up or they found a way around it but at least some good seems to have happened after the new import rules came into effect.

Haven't seen any Green Thorn or Vespa's though.

Rayneo air 4 no longer goes into full screen

Hello. I have a small issue: my Rayneo Air 4 no longer connects as an airplay device when I connect it to my iPhone 17 Pro (can only see the device in audio playback options). It used to immediately go in widescreen view when I played something on the Youtube or Prime app but it no longer does that, it just mirrors the vertical phone screen. I've been looking in the settings but can't find anything relevant, am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Warning about r/3dmodeling

Just wanted to warn everyone that the mods of r/3dmodeling are actively protecting AI generated content. They even ignore their own rules about it.

They clearly state "So going forward, AI-related harassment will be handled exactly the same as any other harassment: First offense – warning. Second offense – temporary ban. Third offense – permanent ban." yet none of this is true. I received a permanent ban without any warning after indicating something was AI although the OP was claiming it to be 3d modeled. It was clearly not.

Straight up, permanent ban due to "harassment", no appeal possible, no contact with the mods possible. I find this kind of behavior to be abhorrent for a sub that is supposed to be all about handcrafted digital work. So yeah, if you visit this sub, just browse and shut up if you see anything related to AI because it's under the mods protection.

[Question] Price advice No-Date Seamaster 300m

I'm currently traveling in Japan and although I wasn't looking for a new watch, my eye fell on this no date Seamaster 300m on mesh bracelet.

I've checked EU prices and with the tax free discount this watch would be about 2k cheaper than buying it anywhere in the EU. Is there anything fishy to look out for, and is the price difference worth it to buy overseas?

It would be an amazing deal at 3740 EUR instead of the regular 5500-6000 I'm seeing on Chrono24 but I have little to no experience with buying watches while abroad so any input would be greatly appreciated :).

AITAH for telling a hotelguest that complained about my snoring that I can't help him?

I'm staying at a hotel and last night the guest next door came knocking on my door asking me to stop snoring. He said he listened at my door and that it was me. I was pretty stunned and thought it was some scam at first. I have a light cold at the moment and my airways aren't great because of it so it is possible, but I couldn't see how I could help him. I asked if I should go lie in the tub, stay awake all night myself of just die for his convencience. Granted, I was a bit miffed because of the sudden awakening. He just kept standing there and shrugged until he left after a minute or two.

I feel bad that he can't sleep but I don't see what I can do about that. Isn't this one of the more normal inconveniences you can encounter at a hotel? It's not my fault the walls are paper thin and that he's possibly a light sleeper.

Hello. I have a question about 2 teeth. Reason of the question is that I've had a dull feeling in the right side of my mouth for the last 2 weeks, but I can't pinpoint the cause. It's not pain, more of a present sensation. It's not painful when I drink/eat something hot or cold.

It's possible the dull feeling is connected to the tooth labeled 1 in the picture. It has had the old (dark) filling replaced about 2 months ago. I think that since then I've lost the pointy end (absolutely not sure of this) and a stress line departs from here. Would this be cause for concern in the next few weeks? I have a dentist appointment in June but I depart on vacation next week, so I'm worried about the dull feeling and the state of tooth labeled 1.
Tried to see the dentist before I leave but unfortunately on the wait list for now.

About tooth labeled 2 in the picture: I noticed a round hole that seemed to be filled in with a stress line departing from it. I assume this is also from a previous repair?

Any input would be immensely appreciated :).

Hello. I have 2 questions about 2 teeth.

The one labeled 1 (third tooth above from the end) had an old filling replaced about 2 months ago, it was replaced with a whiter new one. Since then I think (I am absolutely not sure) that I've lost the sharp point of this tooth and a stress line seems to start from there. Is this anything to worry about in the near future? Would the filling hold this tooth together? I have a dentist appointment in july.

About the one number 2 (fourth tooth above from the end) , I noticed a round hole in there that seems to have been filled in. I assume this was also from an earlier repair? A stress line seems to start there as well to the bottom of the tooth.

Reason I ask is that I've been having a dull feeling in my teeth on the right side for a week or 2. But I can't pinpoint what tooth it's possibly coming from. I do not feel pain when drinking something hot or cold, it's just a dull presence that comes and goes. I've also noticed that I've been waking up with clenched teeth recently (due to stress? Not sure).

Normally I would not be super worried about it and just await my dentist appointment but I'm leaving on vacation next week and I'd rather not have anything happen then.

Thanks for any input :)
