The first pic is of the Donner starry pad pro. The other is the m-vave smc-pad. The starry pad looks identical to the smc-pad. So I'm supposing, given Donner's website is a slightly less tacky version of temu (for just music gear of course), one is a rebadge, or copy, of the other. So which is the original, and which is the copy?
I'm trying to buy an item from an international seller. I've added it to my cart, but when I try to checkout, I get the message "Items listed by this seller are not currently available for purchase. We recommend searching for similar items from other sellers."
Is this because the seller is banned? It couldn't be because they don't deliver to the UK, or is away at the minute, as it would say so on the listing itself. The closest next price is almost £100 more expensive.
OK this is probably a weird one (it certainly is for me). When I scrape my new TV shows, they are all displayed as single episodes in my library. Except for one - Colin From Accounts Season Three. Every episode has a double entry in my library. No, it isn't a major hassle. It's not even annoying really. But I just don't get why it's shown twice. I've checked my sources and locations, and the path to the episodes is definitely only in there once. Along with all my other TV show episodes. Has anyone any idea why this might be happening?
The latest video I was watching just stopped and there was an error about the audio not being supported. Now all videos are giving the same error. I've tried updating to the latest stable version (28544) and I've also tried the latest beta (79015). Is anyone else having this issue?
The AI upscaling stopped working on my 2019 Shield Pro a few days ago. All video apps seem to be affected. When I try to activate it, I just get the error message that the content is unsupported. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I've had an order arrive 3 days after the latest "delivery by" date. The app says I can apply for 2x£2 and 1x£1 coupon. But I can't find where to actually ask for them. Can anyone help me with this?
As the title says. I'm looking for an app that does scrolling screenshots, specifically for song lyrics and keys.
So, my wife and I child mind our 2 daughter's kids. One is 5yo, one 2yrs, the other 18mths. We do this free of charge because they're our grandchildren. My wife's parents minded our children when they were younger, so we're just paying it forward. We feed them, provide nappies for the youngest, a laundry service when accidents happen. And we don't ask for a penny in return.
Yesterday, we saw a good deal for a hotel we like to visit in Tunisia, for a week in early November. So we went ahead and booked it. Our youngest daughter was perfectly ok with this. But the eldest, of which 2 of the kids are hers, took offence, saying we should have run it past her first to see if it suited her. And now we have put her in the position of trying to get someone else to look after the kids that week, or she will have to take time off work to look after them herself. We were very taken aback at this. We have given her 90 days notice of our holiday. It just seems to us that she is being very ungrateful for the help we provide.
So are we being the assholes in booking this holiday without consulting our daughter first?
We all use Temu. And we either love it or hate it, right? But none of us can say that we haven't gotten at least one item from them that has turned out to be a great buy. I have had quite a few myself. And my last great buy was a magnetic camera grip for my phone. I have shaky hands and it is a godsend for when I need to free up a hand and shoot single-handed.
So what have you bought from Temu lately that has turned out to be a great buy?
Is anyone having authentication issues with the android app? I can log in okay, but when I try to open anything, I get a big red banner saying "you must authenticate to access this resource".
I have an Oppo Find X9 Pro phone, and the cameras on it are amazing. Except, maybe, for one thing. The problem I have with the Find X9 Pro stock camera, is the bowing of straight lines at the left and right sides. I take a lot of record sleeve photos for my ebay store, and this means I waste a lot of time on my pc editing photos. So can anyone recommend a camera app which produces straight lines, or is this a trait of the X9 camera which can't be fixed?
I want to use my (recently purchased) Osmo 7P for taking "top down" overhead photos. But can't get it to go to a full 90 degree angle. Is this achievable?

I had a bit of an issue with an order not turning up weeks after it had shipped. I tried contacting the site I ordered from, several times using every possible means available. But I got no response. As I paid via paypal, I then opened a case with them. They refunded me immediately. But then the company rang me today and explained there had been a mix up with my delivery, as their system had shown it as click and collect. So they have now shipped it to my home address.
I now need to repay paypal, as I'm sure they will contact the company to try and recoup their losses. And when they find out I also received my order on top of the refund, they will not be very happy. I can see an instant termination of my account in my near future. So, how do I go about paying back the refund?
I went along to see Kraftwerk in May. This time my 25yo son went along. Having declared "music like that is shit" some months earlier, he raved about the entire package. He has remarked several times since how he has been listening to their music, and it's influences on early hip-hop and modern electronic music. Then today, he asked if I'm ever considering selling my collection, would I give him first call. His face was a picture when I told him that I would be leaving my entire music collection to him and his sisters to do what they like with. So I think I have another convert to carry the flag when I've passed on.
I ordered a JN-80 from Andertons on February 14th. And it wasn't the beginning of any sort of love affair.
It was showing at that time as being "in stock". The following day, I received an email from Andertons to say the delivery date had been pushed back to July 31st. I was prepared to wait until then. But I received another email from Andertons just now, to say that the expected delivery date of "the end of August" they supposedly informed me of, would now not be happening. And they can't give me ANY expected delivery date at all.
Fuck that. I couldn't be arsed with a company like that. They never, ever told me that the delivery date had changed to the end of August. If it had, I would've cancelled it at that time.
I've had heard bad reports about Andertons customer service before, but decided to give them a chance. Well that was a big mistake.
And as for Behringer - they make such a song and dance about their big products being released, and hundreds of "influencers" post their unboxings and reviews. And then Behringer can't get any stock out. That's a great business model.
I'll stick to my Roland Cloud Juno-60 vst for the next couple of years, at which time the JN-80 will be discounted to £200 to get rid of the glut they are left with because prospective buyers have lost faith in them.
I've been waiting for this feature for forever. Now I can pair of Ikea's tinny vappeby stereo speakers, along with a nattbad speaker for much better bass. For example.
I just saw a semi-review of a new m-vave desktop synth, the FM-1. Its a 6 operator, 32 algorithm FM synth, and the feature list is amazing:
a colour tft screen
Midi over usb-c, trs, and bluetooth 5 midi, with all 3 simultaneously
12 voice polyphony
128 presets
Multi fx
7 mode arp
16-step sequencer
2000mah rechargeable battery providing power up to 12 hours
27 silicone "keys" doubling as function selectors
Built-in speaker
It is class compliant, so will work with both pc and mac with no drivers required. And its £60 plus change delivered from aliexpress.
There has to be a catch. How can any company afford to sell this sort of kit at such a low price? Alright, I'm not expecting DX7 build quality. But £60. Its got to be worth a punt at that price surely?
I'm getting annoying passive/aggressive messages from an ebayer, unhappy that I'm selling a limited edition, sold out, vinyl record, which he missed out on buying at the time, for a profit. I've tried being nice about it. I've tried being assertive about it. Now he's just becoming a pain in the arse. Is there any way I can block him from sending me messages, short of reporting him to ebay? I can't add him to my blocked buyers' list as he hasn't bought anything from me.
I'm still (impatiently) waiting for my JN-80 to arrive. In the meantime, I've been watching "influencers" going through the same preset patches, either with or without talking. And I've noticed that, when the synth is being played, a row of capital letters appear on the display, which seem to flicker on and off. A's, R's etc. Can anyone tell me what these represent?
