I don't see any Aliexpress ads when logged in (only actual sponsors shown). That said, aliexpress clones are discussed from time to time and the ad system is freaky about picking things up. I recently pointed to empty Mcintosh cases on Aliexpress in a profile post which might have caught the eyes of the system.

I don't think I was logged in when I saw this. And I sometimes click on bizarre AliExpress items which catch my eye, so my personal filter bubble weirdness is probably an outlier. I do want a power supply cow, though.

Ah, seems to be a version of this (legal?) "Orsefon" branded clone, but but they've just gone for it with the big Mcintosh logo. There's something about high end, high effort counterfeits I find almost admirable. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003454959524.html

Ouch. Doesn’t look like a place where I’d want to be.

WTF, did the attendants sign a waiver?...jeeez

This is why I don't go to live shows

AFAIK, the exact variant isn't routinely tested for. That requires more expensive, time consuming sequencing.

Get well very soon. May you avoid long Covid.

Saw something related to this on an int'l news channel (don't remember which)
