I don't want Win 10. Apparently those with the flag in the system tray will get it automatically when it's available - you get no choice.

Good news!! There's a (relatively) easy way to get rid of that flag and prevent an automatic update:

Go Control Panel/ Programs/ Programs and Features/ View installed updates - search there for 'KB3035583', right click and uninstall.

I've run Windows update since removing it and it doesn't seem to reappear on the list, but that is still possible. If it does reappear in the list just right click and 'hide'.

Now micro$0ft have no say in whether I should get Win 10 - they can't force that on me now, no way! It's my flippin PC ffs!!!!!!

Sigelei are a strange beast in the world of batteries. As they don't make their own then they have to be rewraps. But what of??

The specs they quote seems to fudge things for us. With the 30Amp 2500mAh cell is said to be a VTC5. We know how rare they are!!

However, as there is no 35Amp (supplier rated) cell available other than the purple eFest have they actually rewrapped the eFest and gone with the eFest rating of 35Amps, when it's actually a rewrapped 20Amp?

There are cells of dubious origin that I have deliberately left of the list for that reason. The Sigeleis are among those. I'll investigate further and find out what's happening.

ETA: The Sigelei 35Amp 18650 is indeed a rewrap. Under that wrapper is a Samsung 25R - 20Amp CDR.

The strange thing is the 30Amp cell has specs identical to the Sony VTC5 and the crimp at the top matches. Still not 100%, I'd need confirmation on that.

Why would Sigelei use a VTC5 for their 30Amp cell, but a Samsung for the 35Amp? Assuming a VTC5, they show some common sense with the 30Amp cell, then throw it out the window with the 35. I'll not be recommending either til I have confirmation on the sources,

Makes me wonder what Pepperty Get Off My Cloud & Perpetua would have answered to that question a year ago - things certainly have moved on.

Good old VW still gets me through, but I am definitely on the subohm team too. Direct lung inhales from a Smok VCT on a Smok M65.

You do have a lot of catching up to do ruffdog

Anyone travelling from the East Riding or Humberside (close to M62) need a co-pilot???
