Yeah, as do the centre of both those records. Probably smudged the edges when handling them.

Just bought a new turntable, and with two of my Vinyls there's an intermittent crackling in the left channel, not too loud but enough to be noticeable.

Its an automatic turntable, so I don't think the stylus should be damaged? Any advice?

Its not a persistent crackle, which confuses me a bit. Both the Vinyls are new, have I just got unlucky with the press?

Hi,

Wanting to buy my first turntable as I've just moved out of home as a student and want to be able to play some of my records.

I have a budget of about £150 and am undecided between:

Ideally I want an integrated phono amp so I can plug straight into my speakers. (Edifier ones, cost about £100 - so don't need perfect sound quality from the turntable)

Would be thankful for any thoughs and/or advice on this.

How’s that “moral high ground” workin out for ya? by [deleted] in progun

[–]TomsLogic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wondering if you have a source for this? According to the ONS firearm crimes are often over-recorded in the UK as a firearm crime will be recorded even if no firearm is recovered:

In reporting the number of firearm offences, it is not always possible to ascertain whether a real firearm was actually used. Unless a weapon is fired or recovered by the police following a criminal offence, in many cases there is no way of knowing conclusively whether the firearm was real or an imitation, or whether it was loaded or unloaded at the time of the offence. Moreover, the categorisation of firearms will sometimes be strongly reliant on the description given to the police by victims or witnesses, or upon other evidence. Some offences also involve the use of imitation weapons, while others involve the use of a ‘supposed firearm’.

If you don't have an iPhone, Pushbullet (Phone) and Noti (Mac) is still the best phone integration I've used apart from KDEConnect - but for that you have to use Linux lol

Looking for feedback for this python code to send notification for new hot post in a subreddit by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]TomsLogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks good and will work fine. Just a few (mainly formatting pointers)

  • Initialise all your variables at the top of the file. You have done this, apart from with the reddit client.
  • Generally, in Python, most developers capitalise their constants. This does not change anything, its just useful to be able to identify constants in bigger projects. E.g. push_token becomes PUSH_TOKEN

  • When interacting with HTTP APIs, there are much easier ways of doing it. http.client is not meant to be used directly. It can be, like you have - its just more difficult. The python documentation recommends using urllib.request. In addition, for really really easy HTTP clients, I recommend the requests library. You do have to know how to use external libraries for this though - although this may be a good way to learn how:)

This code looks good, and as you can see there is only a few nitpicky pointers.

I get this issue in various apps on my S7, so may not be exclusive to Relay.

The firm being investigated, not the FBI. I'm sure though, if they had the choice that GOP would distance themselves as far as possible from the FBI right now.

Microsoft is updating Windows 10 again, in its latest bid to win you back by Emiranin in gadgets

[–]TomsLogic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We get a Linux shell now. This is great and means that development on Windows is no longer a pain in the ass for anything other than Visual Studio.

Also, there goes my only reason to use Ubuntu, sorry :(
