As if Dymo adding DRM to force you to use their labels wasn't low enough, they have been BUSTED reusing their old 450/4XL Amazon listings in order to keep all their old positive reviews to make you think people are positively reviewing their new 550/5XL DRM model!
This deception should be reported to Amazon.

The Australian Computer Museum Societies' warehouse has to shut down next week, so Dave goes warehouse diving.
If you know of someone willing to donate warehouse space in Sydney, please let me know.
UPDATE: Please don't contact them with offers of small donations space, they need a HUGE space, as in hundreds of square meters. Thanks.

Dave compares the new Siglent SSA3021A 2.1GHz spectrum analyser with similar priced Rigol DSA815.
Noise floor, clock and PLL phase noise and other performance aspects are measured and compared between the two models.
Bugs?, yup, got those too!
