Sony’s awesome Bluetooth vinyl record player just got its first discount

They say that everything old is new again, but usually old things that reemerge as new trends are pretty silly. That’s not the case at all with vinyl, which has made a comeback in a big way. Records have a special sound that’s impossible to truly replicate on anything else, and you’ll need a great modern record player if you really want to integrate it with your current setup. Our favorite is by far the Sony PS-LX310BT Fully Automatic Wireless Vinyl Record Player, and it’s available right now on Amazon.

Sony PS-LX310BT Belt Drive Turntable: Fully Automatic Wireless Vinyl Record Player with Bluetoo…: $178.00

Here’s more info from the product page:

  • EASY OPERATION: Effortlessly enjoy your favorite records with one-step auto start, stop and return
  • TWO SPEEDS: 33 1/3 rpm and 45 rpm, with the 45 rpm adaptor stowed neatly in a slot beneath the deck

  • WIRED CONNECTION: PSLX310BT turntables include RCA cables for plugging directly into a stereo system

Another asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, but astronomers say it’ll miss us

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you’ve been wringing your hands and saying your goodbyes in advance of the visit from asteroid 2006 QV89 later this year, you can relax. The space rock, which had a very, very tiny chance of posing a threat to Earth, has been under close observation by astronomers who have since confirmed that it will indeed miss our planet entirely.

As the ESA and European Southern Observatory explain in a new post, the asteroid was thought to have a roughly 1-in-7,000 shot at impacting Earth. That’s an incredibly tiny percentage, but it was still a risk that had to be investigated. Thankfully, we can all breathe easy. Probably.

iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 developer beta 4 are now available to download

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The fast and furious pace of iOS beta releases continues unabated this week with the rollout of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 developer beta 4. We’re hopeful that this release is less problematic than the last, as Apple ended up mysteriously delaying the launch of the second public beta and then re-seeding the developer beta a full week later. We’ll have to wait and see, but it’s hard to imagine that beta 4 will run into similar issues.

We still don’t know exactly what this latest beta contains, but considering how messy the last beta was, it might be a good idea to update soon, as Apple has presumably fixed much of what ailed the last beta.

If you’ve opened any of your social media accounts over the past several days, you’ve no doubt seen a procession of old, wrinkled yet slightly familiar-looking faces taking over your feed.

These kinds of apps or visual tricks often seem to explode in popularity all at once. Microsoft had an app that was hot for a minute which tried to guess how old you are based on an image of your face. Snapchat’s baby face lens likewise exploded in popularity recently, fueled by shares of people looking like infant versions of themselves. And now the latest is FaceApp, an app that takes a photo of you and enhances your face to make it look like you’re in the twilight of your life.

Netflix a few weeks ago shared with the world the first images from its upcoming Game of Thrones rival, as well as the first poster for the series that’s set to launch by the end of the year. That’s The Witcher, based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s books that inspired a series of popular video games of the same name. That massive franchise is heading to television next, with Superman actor Henry Cavill set to play the protagonist, the witcher Geralt of Rivia. But Geralt is hardly the only hero in these adventures, and Netflix just gave us a first look at another significant character from the series: Roach.
