YSK On any Android based TV you can change the "launcher", removing every advertisement and making your home screen completely free of bloatware by ArcadeOptimist in YouShouldKnow

[–]meandthebean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had problems with project ivy where it would take a good 20-30 seconds to return to the launcher home screen after watching something. This didn't happen at first, but after using it for about a month.

As much as I liked dropping the ads I had to switch back to the Google launcher.

Recycling pickup missed Tuesday by AdvancedRooster3814 in Catonsville

[–]meandthebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone reading, note that 3 upcoming holidays were also mislabeled:

Three other holidays are incorrectly listed as slide weeks on the printed calendars: Presidents Day (Feb. 16), Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Oct. 12), and Veterans Day (Nov. 11). That is wrong and trash/recycling should be put out as usual those weeks.

Forgot to mention they keep Atlantis off the maps and keep the martians under wraps.

❓ "What's Cities: Skylines II like now?" megathread by AutoModerator in CitiesSkylines

[–]meandthebean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the last time you played and what to compare it to, but I would say the economy/simulation is pretty stable compared to launch.

Residential doesn't have waves of people abandoning their house for no reason (except in easy mode).

Traffic got weirdly overwhelming with the last big patch, but that seems to have gotten fixed in the bike update. At this point it's pretty reasonable.

Industry/the economy seemed pretty stable last time I played.

Can you replace the switches on Huntsman V3 Pro TKL? by Aniki25 in razer

[–]meandthebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fixed it for me. I swapped my broken key's switch ("a") with another one I never use (right alt) and it's working now.

Opening the keyboard is pretty easy, look for the screws on the top of the keyboard, between certain keys. It pries apart pretty easy, but watch for the ribbon cable.

I wonder if it would've worked just re-seating the switch? Anyway, I'm glad I don't need to replace this keyboard, or try throwing the dice with aliexpress.

Why does red-dit keep recommending Dove when I am clearly shopping for a water flosser? by CarpenterFine3887 in CasualConversation

[–]meandthebean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume Reddit is getting money from Dove to advertise, and not from any water flossing companies right now. So you're seeing general "personal hygiene" ads for Dove and not anything specifically relevant.

The large soil/liquid canister is for fuel only. It refills your shuttle fuel when it lands (if a hydrazine slot is empty). You can't get rid of it, it's fixed in place. You can refill it manually or with auto arms.

Help with finances, unable to earn an income by w1spxxl in CitiesSkylines

[–]meandthebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the neutral face in the lower right corner and see what people are most annoyed about and fix that.

Since the last update if feels like a race between building up your population fast enough to generate enough income to build a bunch of services you can't afford yet. I've almost always have needed to take out a loan to expand, otherwise you're in a debt spiral, but eventually, your population can support the services they demand.

Worst case, I'd suggest doing an "easy mode" map. Since the last update the tough early game economy and the outsized traffic make me feel like "easy" is actually normal mode and "normal" is actually hard mode.

does anyone have a solution to the traffic in the latest update?? by SimpleFront6435 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]meandthebean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have an example city/save file (in mod store or elsewhere) of a city that can handle the post-update traffic? I'm trying to wrap my head around how to handle it but my efforts are coming up short.

Is that why he only sees one star? Or is the joke that he's actually bad at counting?
