Black residue on the pickup pole pieces of a brand-new Cort Action PJ — should I return it?

I recently bought a brand-new Cort Action PJ bass and noticed some black marks/residue on several of the pickup pole pieces. One of the marks was also transferred onto the protective plastic film that covered the pickup.

I tried gently wiping the pole pieces with a dry microfiber cloth, but the remaining marks won’t come off. The bass seems to sound and work normally.

Does this look like normal wax potting, varnish, or manufacturing residue, or could it be corrosion? Is it harmless and purely cosmetic, or would you return/exchange a new bass because of this?

I’ve attached close-up photos of the pole pieces and the protective film. Thanks!

I made complete MCU Release Order & Chronological Order lists on Letterboxd — updated through August 2026

I’ve made two MCU watch-order lists on Letterboxd:

Complete Release Order
https://letterboxd.com/ataberk1/list/marvel-cinematic-universe-complete-release/

Complete Chronological Order
https://letterboxd.com/ataberk1/list/marvel-cinematic-universe-complete-chronological/

Both are updated through August 2026, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Since Letterboxd doesn’t support most TV seasons and individual episodes as normal list entries, I used the notes on the preceding movie/special to include the missing TV content and episode ranges.

So if you follow either list, make sure to check the notes on each entry — especially in the chronological version, where shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, and Luke Cage are split around specific movies.

If you spot anything that should be moved, added, or corrected, let me know. I’ll keep the lists updated as new MCU releases come out.

I made complete MCU Release Order & Chronological Order lists on Trakt — updated through August 2026

I’ve put together two complete MCU watch orders on Trakt:

Complete Release Order
Follows the MCU by original release date, including movies, TV seasons, individual episodes, One-Shots, Special Presentations, and other MCU releases.

https://app.trakt.tv/users/ataberk1/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe-complete-release-order?mode=media

Complete Chronological Order
Follows the story timeline and splits certain shows into specific episode ranges where necessary — especially Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, and Luke Cage.

https://app.trakt.tv/users/ataberk1/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe-complete-chronological-order?mode=media

Both lists are updated through August 2026, including Eyes of Wakanda, Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, The Punisher: One Last Kill, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

One reason I made these on Trakt is that it lets me place individual seasons and episodes directly in the correct position instead of treating an entire show as one entry.

If you notice anything that should be moved, added, or corrected, let me know. I plan to keep both lists updated as new MCU projects are released.

Is it normal to feel resistance after 9–10 turns on a Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart?

Hi everyone,

I bought a Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Automatic about 2 weeks ago. When I first got the watch, I could wind the crown around 30 turns without any issue or noticeable resistance.

But now, when the watch is fully stopped and I try to hand-wind it, I start feeling quite noticeable resistance after only 9–10 turns. I don’t want to force it, so I stop there.

Is this normal for this model/movement? Is it normal to feel resistance at some point when hand-winding an automatic watch, or should I have it checked by service?

Also, roughly how many turns should be enough when hand-winding this watch from a complete stop? Can overwinding damage the movement?

Thanks.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart 9–10 turdan sonra direnç hissi normal mi?

Merhaba,

Yaklaşık 2 hafta önce Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Automatic saat satın aldım. Saati ilk aldığımda kurma kolunu yaklaşık 30 tur çevirdiğimde herhangi bir sorun ya da belirgin bir direnç hissetmiyordum.

Fakat şu an, saat tamamen durmuşken kurmaya çalıştığımda 9–10 tur çevirmeden sonra bayağı belirgin bir direnç hissediyorum. Zorlamak istemediğim için daha fazla çevirmiyorum.

Bu durum normal mi? Otomatik mekanizmalarda belli bir noktadan sonra direnç hissetmek normal midir, yoksa servise göstermem gerekir mi?

Ayrıca bu model için saati tamamen durmuşken elle kurarken yaklaşık kaç tur çevirmek yeterli olur? Çok çevirmek mekanizmaya zarar verir mi?

Teşekkürler.

Can I remove multiple Evolutions from the same player?

I have a question about the “Remove Last Evolution” feature.

If I use “Remove Last Evo” on a player, can I use it again on the same player afterwards? For example, if a player has multiple Evolutions applied, can I remove the latest Evo first, then repeat the process to remove another previous Evo?

Basically, is there a limit to how many times I can remove an Evolution from the same player, or can I keep using “Remove Last Evo” as long as the player has Evolutions remaining?

Thanks in advance!

Can I downgrade from macOS 27 Beta back to macOS Sequoia by turning off beta updates?

Hi everyone,

I installed the macOS 27 beta, but I’m not really happy with it and I want to go back to macOS Sequoia.

My question is: if I turn off beta updates in System Settings, will my Mac automatically go back to Sequoia when a new Sequoia update is released? Or will I stay on macOS 27 until the public release catches up?

If that doesn’t work, what are my options for downgrading safely? Do I need to erase the Mac and reinstall Sequoia using Recovery/USB installer, or is there another method?

I have a MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon. I’d appreciate any advice, especially from people who have already downgraded from a macOS beta.

Thanks!

Can I manually set an exact image duration in CapCut Desktop (Mac)?

Hi everyone,

I'm using CapCut Desktop on macOS.

I know I can set the default image duration through Settings > Edit > Image Duration, but that's not what I'm looking for.

My goal is to set individual images to exact durations. For example:

  • Image 1 = exactly 2.0 seconds
  • Image 2 = exactly 3.0 seconds
  • Image 3 = exactly 1.5 seconds

I also want to be able to see the current duration of each image clip numerically, not just by dragging the clip edges on the timeline.

Is there any way in CapCut Desktop to view and manually enter the exact duration of individual image clips, or is timeline dragging the only method available?

Thanks!

[PROMPT] Miniature Person

Transform the person into a stylized miniature human with exaggerated proportions: an oversized head (approximately 2–3 times larger relative to the body) and oversized boots/shoes, while keeping all facial features, hairstyle, beard, clothing details, and identity intact. The body should be very short and compact, creating a humorous "big head, tiny body" look. The character should remain photorealistic, not cartoonish or toy-like. Place the miniature person in the same environment while scale difference is obvious. Do not change environment, just make the person miniature.
