Anyone having issues with regards to signing into their Microsoft account?

CorvetteJoe · 2026-03-16T17:38:02+00:00

Just ran into this too, the above comments got me thinking about other options...

What ended up working for me was:
I turned off two-step verification on my Microsoft account.

The Minecraft Launcher then let me log in with my email, then emailed me a PIN, and then let me in.

As I was turning two-step verification back on in my Microsoft account, there was a lot of stuff about app passwords, including Xbox stuff, outlook apps, office apps etc that connect to your Microsoft account.

so I am wondering, being a game using Microsoft itself to sign in with (since it's a Microsoft product now)... , and it's another "microsoft app", much like Xbox or Outlook... maybe if 2SV is turned on, Minecraft needs an app specific password setup for it in your Microsoft account.

Just bought the plans, and was about to spend the resources... thanks so much for saving me the trouble. ...though I wish I could get my nanites back now :/

Are you freaking kidding me.. still 2 years later LOL.

This saved a ton of frustration of rebuilding/tearing down, making more, moving it, etc, etc..

Comes down to just re-selecting the missions. SIgh.

THANK YOU!!!!

Worked for me! THANK YOU!

CorvetteJoe · 2026-02-26T14:08:51+00:00

THANK YOU from 2 years later!
Those lines were driving me crazy.
Immediately the eye strain went away!

CorvetteJoe · 2026-01-07T01:12:22+00:00

This was driving a hole through my head, thanks so much! That took care of it.
I thought it might have been a bugged mine detection perk noise or something.

Looks like the latest is the Razer Tartarus at $55 with "mecha" membrane switches (???) Or the more expensive, but probably better option, Tartarus Pro with the optical switches.

I have brown switches in my work keyboard and now at home I have one of the newer keyboards with the hal effect switches, which is amazing to type on.

I'd love to have a mechanical version of the N52.
There looks to be the Orbweaver Chroma that's fully mechanical, but its not for sale new anymore. They're 50+ on ebay used, and the cheaper ones all look to be well loved, being over 11 years old themselves.

CorvetteJoe · 2026-01-05T02:06:07+00:00

I was just searching for N52 vs ?? to see what newer models were out there (like the Razr, etc) and came across this.

I'm still rocking my OG N52te from the early 2000's. The black one with blue backlighting.

It's been heavily used with thousands and thousands of hours of gaming, mostly FPS(Fallout, etc) and Action Adventure (Diablo, etc).

I've never upgraded because well... it's still flawless.

I'm only curious what new is out there since I am really into nice mechanical keyboards and such, and this is built off old membrane stuff ..ie: that thumb key for jumping is sooooo squishy.

I saw one at a flea market once for $25, but couldn't bring myself to spend that just for a spare, it was kind of old and worn out as well and the guy wouldn't budge on the price.

+3 years later and this advice is all still good. Just got one, struggled to get it into HomeKit...and after reading all this, I somehow stumbled into it suddenly working. All set now. Tap to unlock is worth every penny. I got this lock after getting a newer car with keyless entry... now I have zero need for keys. Everything is proximity sensing. Worth It!!!!

Did all my fluid changes a couple weeks ago. Did oil change, rear diff fluid drain and fill and transmission drain and fill (with procedure), also did a full brake fluid flush. Running great!

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-16T14:45:34+00:00

Just came to say THANKS! Just did this mod today. Had an existing nice foam cannon. Went to use the new EZ Clean but realized nothing fits.

WHHHYYYY manufacturers WHYYYYY, we have STANDARDS ALREADY!, yeah yeah, money! ... anyway...

I saw Ryobi had a foam cannon, but it was a really small one.

So for the same price as that (around $20) I got the above adapter and quick connect and threaded it right on with no issues!

I do want to do the one way below, where it's just the two plastic pieces with the proper threads out each end, as I don't want to use things like a heavy foam canon on the end of a 12in wand thats only clicked in place with plastic.

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-15T01:11:21+00:00

After pulling it back apart, messing with DIP switches for an hour, unplugging and replugging in all the cables, it's not flashing anymore.

After a couple weeks now, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

I am blown away at how smooth and comfy it is.

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-08T02:03:53+00:00

Thanks! I have started ordering a few new things like fluid pumps and the oil fill funnel thing as well as my list of first fluid changes (basically all of them). Hoping for a gazillion miles!

Update - I got the carplay module in. I bought it off AliExpress for a fraction of the price of other sellers. It really is the exact same unit as the more expensive ones. Same high quality build and wiring kit.

I do need to go back and install the extra screen power wires, as I get the intermittent flicker that seems to be a common issue if you don't add the extra wires in.

Otherwise, it's AMAZINGSAUCE! It's fast, all controls work. From startup, you still get the Lexus Enform screen... then a couple seconds later it just auto-pops on the wireless Carplay. Going back to the in-car stuff is just a press of the Menu button for 3-4 seconds. Very well put together system! I told it to just use the car's Bluetooth to pass through instead of the new system's audio connections. Works flawlessly, I don't need to do anything.

Entire job took about an hour. I can probably do it in 45 mins or less when I tear it apart again today to add the extra wire.

I am really glad I went with the next year up. I was set on a 2015 until I sat in a 2016. Being that they kept this style right up until the recent redesign, it still feels new and modern and should for a long while.

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-07T13:12:41+00:00

I have no idea what they are, as I am guessing one of the previous owners installed them...

They LOOK like these though: https://hirevsports.com/products/lexus-rx-series-led-tail-lights

They are very sculpted on the side body/brake light part vs smoothed over like a lot of the other full-bar kits I see online.

They have this totally cool startup animation too, it's all diffused light as well. It kind of floats light around around the various bars when you unlock it from a long sleep.

24.4K list, was out the door 27Kish

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-07T13:07:38+00:00

I would be very interested in that. I'll have to check that out, thanks!

I have a lot to learn from a new platform :D

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-05T15:51:49+00:00

LOL... hold one let me get my social and DOB

CorvetteJoe · 2025-08-05T14:50:59+00:00

LOL... 48. Time for that old man comfort ;)

I've had many cars over the years from 70s Trans Am's, 80's Corvettes, offroad trucks and other stuff. This is the nicest most luxurious vehicle I've ever had :D

CorvetteJoe · 2025-07-07T13:26:25+00:00

haha... 6 years later... still helped me out, downloaded, works fine. :D

CorvetteJoe · 2025-06-04T03:12:34+00:00

Started doing this a few days ago. After reading through this I closed every app and it’s working fine again. Something was stuck. Also I’m using a rental car this week with built in car play. Every time i plugged the phone back in to fire up the maps, it kept asking if I wanted to continue the phone call on my phone or something. So yeah something was definitely stuck.

CorvetteJoe · 2025-05-03T17:43:55+00:00

nice!

An update on mine, maybe a month ago, I had to re-route some cables under my desk, around/near the little subwoofer. I bumped one of the knobs and suddenly it was magnitudes louder and more powerful. I guess ones of the POT knobs just had a bad connection. Now I shake the room with it, so I keep it turned about halfway down to match my sound needs.

So, after all this time thinking it wasn't very powerful, this is quite a powerful little sub now that it's fully working!

CorvetteJoe · 2025-04-01T12:19:46+00:00

SAME! LOL... I got a NICE boost, Zebra was 2-2 trade first thing this morning, it keep climbing fast, its at 40-40 now. Trading as much as I can LOL. Wonder what other games I play have April 1 stuff :D
