I did say you were brave to be using windows 11. Well at least now you have the 'Tee Shirt' 😉

Do it properly and get a VLinker, mine was only £25 from Aliexpress when on offer and does it all properly. They can access all busses at the same time, where as all the modified ones do is automatically flick the switch so it's still one or the other and you'll still get warnings about a none recommended adapter in forscan with one of those.

True but delivery can be 70 - 75 days.

amazon can do next day for £32.50 (tick the box for the 8% discount)

I used alliexpress for the first ever time last month for a phone case. Was surprised to get it in 14 days, though the most annoying thing was the 2 or 3 daily emails I got with various updates, even with opting out of 'marketing' . Nice case too... I'd have to be exceptionally desperate to use that insidious amazon! LOL

The only positive about that FireStick is that amazon hasn't had a single penny from me since 'acquiring' it LOL (It was a cast off from a friend who 'upgraded')

I like Aliexpress for quite a few of my car purchases recently. Am a bit dubious of buying certain things due to China's history of creating cheap bootleg copy devices etc,. I've found delivery times can range from 10 days to the full 75 or whatever, but if your in no mad rush it's acceptable.

Postie just delivered, Aliexpress parcel, fancy new mini torch, jeeeez its bright and made of metal well impressed for £4.00. has 3 light functions, on,strobe and a side light cob or cog or whatever name escapes me atmo, also has a slide focus feature for the beam, ideal to keep in the car USB charging.

Took me 3 months to find a decent torch WITHOUT the 3 x functions LOL I'm old fashioned, when I switch on a torch, I just want a beam of light, not a disco party 🤣 LED LenSer came up trumps.

That can be the case, but I find most stuff comes in 14-30 days, my VLinker from their official store was ordered on the 13th and delivered on the 27th. £32.50 is good, it was £40 when I ordered and I already had a working cable with switch so was in no rush, I just wanted the VLinker for firmware updates.
