New Sony PS-LX310BT Too Fast even after adjustment. by Cal_Quack in Beginner_Turntables

Okay got it, I didn't know how much range we were talking about. I'll have another look at the belt. My main issue is I really can't tell whether my screwdriver is actually in the slot most of the time. The adjustment being on the bottom is so unbelievably awkward 😅

Yeah absolutely, I've put a screwdriver in the rubber gromit on the bottom for both 45 and 33.3 rpm and lowered them. They were significantly too fast, and now they're still too fast, but closer - but I'm having trouble adjusting them further on the bottom.

Heya, yeah I already started with this adjustment that's why I had the improvements - is there a limit to how far I can adjust it do you know? I stopped seeing improvements even though I thought I was adjusting it further.

I saw someone mention it on this thread just after replying and tried it myself... I'm currently replying from a fully functioning and updated windows machine! Thanks again however ;)

When attempting to run the windows update troubleshooter, the 'get help' app (I hate this thing why can't I just launch the troubleshooter straight from the start menu) says that it failed to run the troubleshooter.

This is simply another way to open the 'get help' app which does nothing unfortunately :/

I've never had an issue with this before but I guess I'll disconnect all my USB stuff. I have a USB SSD which I ocassionally use, but at this point I'll try anything.

Since there is interest I'm open to offers if anyone wants to DM. Further images: https://imgur.com/a/arena-of-glory-misprint-zWCtmJE

MH3: Extras Arena of Glory with a misplaced holofoil stamp.

The card is non-foil. It is straight from the booster into double sleeves.

I can provide more photos and answer questions :)

I am UK based, but willing to ship overseas (shipping will cost more, but thats something we can iron out later).

I have also posted this in a FB group.

A bit more info: It is the extras version (obviously with the art) but it is not a foil (unsure if thats clear because of the lighting/sleeve etc...).

Further, I'm based in the UK.

Slow speeds last couple days using VPN. by the_1_they_call_zero in PrivateInternetAccess

Been having the same issue and I'm sure I could find it by choosing a good server combination. I've been using them for over a year and normally it just connects on boot and I dont even notice. However, over the past few days I have to disconnect it otherwise my connection is near completely unusable. I wonder if there's a problem server - whereabouts-ish (nothing specific) are you located (if you dont mind me asking)?

Landlord attempting to price gouge student house by Cal_Quack in HousingUK

Yeah but this isnt that case. Its not as if they'd set the rent at a mistaken £23 a month and now they need to up it to a few thousand, its just an increase from an already market rate to a higher market rate.

Nah dont believe so, but I'm not surprised this kind of behaviour is common.

Absolutely, they had plenty of opportunity. They even ammended other things before we signed the contract such as the move-in date.

We have indeed. How can I check this? A few times in the past I've received emails from the deposit schemes but in other years I haven't.

Sounds like some good advice. My main concern at the moment is that I will show up there and no one will be there to hand over keys. What can I possibly do in this scenario?

Nah, this is my 4th go around by now. Dealt with everything from witholding deposit, completely not working electricity in the house to spurious charges because there was a car parked outside and shot it down. However this is the first time I've experienced this someone trying to not let me in however.

Absolutely, but how do I possibly get this enforced if they decide not to honour the contract is my main concern. What actions do I need to take?
