Oh god don't buy Adata. I know someone who just ate about 30% failure rate in 12 months with those bloody things.

Strewth, its bloody 33oC here in my lab, I'm giving up and going downstairs to grab a long cold drink of milk, switch the TV on and watch some Wheeler Dealers or something while sitting in the direct line of a fan.
I hope it's a lot cooler for this Friday, I'm going to RAF Fairford for the RIAT air show and watch a limited flying display and the remaining arriving aircraft from all over the world. I'm not looking forward to sitting out in this heat all day-long :--

Shopping Prime Day... so far, the only thing that really caught my attention was the Kindle for Kids and this: GrubHub free for a year. We don't order takeout often, but especially for my day off, more choices is a nice thing.

Samsung seem to be a good bet, as to Prime Day, I grabbed myself another 100ft stretchy hose pipe and a heavy-duty, padded folding camping chair, sick to death of the cheapos, after a couple of uses, they just slowly fold up on themselves. I'm just hoping that it arrives on Thursday as promised so I can take it with me Friday to the RIAT show (Royal International Air Tattoo).

A bearable 23 in mine.
Fingers crossed for the display. If it's above 30 on Sunday I'm skipping the radio rally. Don't fancy it :-DD

Always Samsung!
No luck with Prime Day. Nothing I needed. I did buy a used Nikon Z 35 mm f/1.8 lens earlier but the bastard seller cancelled it and returned the money as apparently they sold the stock in their shop and forgot to delist it from their web site :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm:

since when...? I've literally been using their flash memory for decades. Still have one of their 120GB SSDs in my old HP tablet.
