The phone (Galaxy j7 Refine) came preloaded with a bunch of bullshit. Facebook, amazon, gmail, prime video, etc. Is there any way to have a "clean" or as clean as possible restart? Preferably without logging into google to activate it.

I am able to manually disable some, but not all of these applications, but they frequently turn themselves back on. I would like them removed permanently

NB: the phone is old and is not going to be used as a phone. I am not putting a sim card into it and I plan to tinker with it as a network device (I don't know what yet) but it will not be used as a regular phone

Similar to the look and vibe of Katamari Damacy or the new Denshattack. Colorful, positive, bright, fast paced and engaging. Not looking for rpgs or jrpgs, shooters, FPSs .... more on the lines of arcade games

PC with Xbox controller support please, no consoles.

If you are on Linux (or Mac) turn on non-blocking saves immediately. This will stop the game pausing while the game autosaves. This can be quite annoying when you get a larger save. One more reason to switch to linux!

1. Open advanced settings by pressing ctrl+shift+left click on the settings button (ctrl+alt also works)

2. Click "the rest" button

3. In the search field, type "non-blocking" and make sure the box is ticked

4. Click "confirm," bottom right

You are now done.

(While you are in that list of settings, you can adjust "quick-bar-width" to have more hot buttons if you like) I have this set to 20. I would recommend not messing with other settings you don't understand :)

step 1

step 2

step 3

I have been using a drill press as a "poor man's lathe" to work some cylinders. I think the limit is 1 cm approx on my drill press chuck. Is there any way to work something larger? Maybe some sort of attachment that could be hooked onto it that would allow for expansion?

Thanks!

To all the people recommending lathes, thank you but I don't have enough extra room ... I am in an apartment

So I am not a machinist but I am looking to buy aluminum and stainless steel rods and maybe some other stuff for some projects I have been thinking about. Where is a good place to buy these (or general metal goods) online? I don't trust amazon

Thanks!

It seems like this is a pretty regular thing, are they just not paying their bill? or are they trying to host on bad hardware? Does anyone have a better idea of the cause?

So most factorio youtube channels seem to be expert level deep dives into weird mechanics/optimizations (nilaus is a prime example)

Does anyone know any good factorio youtubers who are just ordinary slobs like me? People that just have a good time bumbling their way through the game

Not so much looking for long unedited lets play videos, but well made videos where entertainment is more important than constructing the perfect build

Thanks

The green input is connected to a roboport so it is importing the logistic network. How can I have -8 copper wire? or -6 engines?

It looks like it is trying to update the firmware to an unstable build (i.e. use with caution) ... How can I set it to use a stable build? I don't want to deal with bugs or have to redo all my settings

I am curious what other people do

You start a new game. You forgot how much manual work it is in the beginning. You have all kinds of blueprints to make your life easier, but it is a long grind to gather and place all that stuff by hand. So you grind. You fight off biters by hand. So annoying, maybe next time you should do peaceful mode. You run around gathering resources by hand. You watch your tiny little coal patch run out. Then your iron patch. You run around and build a new mining base. Your base is all planned out but it just takes so much time to do it all yourself.

Finally, you get there: you research flying robot frames. You build a dozen construction robots and a couple roboports and BOOM. Like a huge weight has been lifted off you, the little bots fly around so slowlly but they are finishing your blueprints and its like the clouds part and the sun shines on the little patch of dirt you have been working and you hear little robot angels singing. All of a sudden you can get to doing what you want and let the bots do the grunt work.

And in that moment, you remember why you love this fucking game.

I have 3 devices which use bluetooth multipoint: tv, computer, phone. The tv takes priority over the other 2 even though it is not playing any media. How can I set the priority of the tv to be lower so that it is not forcing the other 2 devices to be silent?

I have a bug with 7.0.0.22 in Kubuntu and it is annoying enough that I am thinking of downgrading since the bug does not seem to be a high priority for the devs.

How much of a risk is downgrading for someone with novice level skills? What do I need to know that is not in the downgrade tutorials?

I use the water based, thick gel with hypromellose at night, not the petroleum/mineral oil ointment. I have not been able to find any in at least 2 months. Is anyone else having this problem or do you have any info on why this particular item is in short supply? It appears to be all brands

Thanks
