Since EDCforum is gone, I thought to put my request here.
My tablet bag is great except the shoulder strap is silky smooth and always slips from my shoulder. It has no shoulder pad to help it stay in its place. The shoulder strap on this bag is permanently fixed (not removeable), so I cannot borrow a pad from another bag and slide it on.
Several years ago, I saw some websites sell shoulder pads that can be opened and closed on the shoulder strap. So it will fit on a permanently fixed strap, no problem.

Unfortunately, it looks like my favorite bag companies don’t sell those.
Etsy has some that look real nice, Amazon has a lot of choices. “Shoulder pad for bag strap,” was my search. Some are slide-on, which won’t work for you, but there were several with snaps and other closures that could.
By the way, Chaosmagnet, I have been seeing ads for an 8 TB external hard-drive that is smaller in size than the current 2 TB. Is it for real ?? Haven't seen it in stores just in ads. IIRC you work in IT. You may have an idea about it.

If you like, PM me the link and I’ll look it over. Some are scams — I recently did a deep dive into this before making a pretty big purchase and thankfully avoided the scams.
I would be particularly suspicious of anything being shipped from overseas, or requires any sort of non-standard payment, or objectionable return policy.
An 8TB SSD from a reputable maker should run around $650-750.
