A factory reset known as master reset, is a software restore of an electronic device to its original system state by erasing all of the information stored on the device in an attempt to restore the device to its original manufacturer settings. Doing so will erase all of the data and applications that were on the device; this is done to fix an issue with a device, but it could be done to restore the device to its original settings. Such electronic devices include smartphones. Since a factory reset entails deleting all information stored in the device, it is the same concept as reformatting a hard drive. Pre-installed applications and data on the card's storage card will not be erased. A factory reset destroys all data stored in the unit. Factory resets can fix many chronic performance issues, but it does not remove the device's operating system. Factory resets can be achieved in a variety of ways depending on the electronic device. For some devices, this could be done by going into the device's Service Menu.

Other devices may require a complete re-installation of the software. The following section lists a few common electronic devices and how they can be reset to factory settings. Computer factory resets will restore the computer to the computer's original operating system and delete all of the user data stored on the computer. Microsoft's Windows 8 and Windows 10, Apple's macOS have options for this. On Android devices, there is a factory data reset option in Settings that will appear to erase all of the device's data and reset all of its settings; this method is used when the device has a technical problem that cannot be fixed using other methods, or when the owner wants to remove all their personal data before selling, giving away, returning or disposing of the device. After performing a study, Avast! reported that the data is recoverable using forensics software, generic and publicly available. The "Factory data reset" option does not affect the Knox Flag; as such, it does not reset the device to its original factory settings and is not a way to return the device to a state compatible with the manufacturer's warranty.

Data on the SIM card and the microSD card is not erased. Many other devices can be restored to factory settings, like televisions, GPS units or tablet computers. Many electronic devices have a menu with tools and settings called the service menu, which includes a tool that performs a factory reset; this tool is most common in devices such as television sets and computer monitors. These menus are accessed through a sequence of button presses. Hardware reset Reboot Troubleshooting

In a review for the BBC, Mike Diver lauded the album saying, "Dillon uses spare beats, subtle orchestrations and background-mixed brass, but everything is bound by a vocal that speaks to the soul, not the soles."

The British halfpenny coin was worth 1/480th of a pound sterling. At first in its 700-year history it was made from silver but as the value of silver increased, the coin was made from base metals, it was abandoned in 1969 as part of the process of decimalising the British currency. "Halfpenny", colloquially written ha'penny, was pronounced HAY-pə-nee. It was long considered that the first halfpenny coins were produced in the reign of King Edward I, with earlier requirements for small change being provided by "cut coinage". However, in recent years metal detectorists have discovered a few halfpennies of Kings Henry I and Henry III – these are rare and little is known about them. No documentary evidence of these coins is known to exist, it is possible that there are other coins or issues still to be discovered. A few King Henry I silver halfpennies have been discovered recently; the issue is a pattern or trial, but it is obvious that several specimens entered circulation. The obverse features an uncrowned front-facing bust of the king, with the inscription HENRIC REX – King Henry – while the reverse features a cross with the identification of the moneyer GODWIN A ON WI – Godwin of Winchester.

Two issues, both struck at the London mint, have been discovered recently. Both are in the short-cross style of King Henry III, produced between 1216 and 1247, are similar in design to the pennies, but only half the size; the obverse shows a crowned bust of the king holding a sceptre, with the inscription HENRICUS REX, while the reverse shows a small cross with four pellets in each quarter with the moneyer's inscription TERRI ON LUND – Terry of London. King Edward I introduced the halfpenny as part of his new coinage, which allowed trade to increase; as with all coins of this period, the denomination was not written on the coin, worth its weight in silver. All hammered halfpennies tend to be difficult to identify because they are small clipped, in poor condition, the legends on the coins are incorrect because of the difficulty in making dies which were small enough for the denomination; the fact that Kings Edward II, III, IV issued halfpennies makes it difficult to distinguish between them – in general, Edward I's coins are larger than his successors'.

As with other denominations, by far the majority of coins were produced at the London mint, in the Tower of London, but five other mints were active in Edward I's reign. The legend on the reverse of the coin identifies the mint's name, reads CIVITAS LONDON or LONDONIENSIS for London, VILLA BRISTOLLIE for Bristol, CIVITAS LINCOL for Lincoln, NOVI CASTRI for Newcastle upon Tyne, CIVITAS EBORACI for York, VILLA BEREVVICI for Berwick-upon-Tweed; the king's name appears in the obverse inscription EDW, EDWA, or EDWR R ANGL DNS HYB, or RICARD or HENRI for the issues of Kings Richard II and Henry IV. During the reign of King Edward II, halfpennies were only produced at the mints in London and Berwick because sufficient had been produced when his father introduced the new coinage; the principal difference between the coins of Edward II and his father is that the obverse inscription of the London-produced coins reads EDWARDUS REX A, EDWARDUS REX AN on the Berwick-produced coins. Three mints were producing halfpennies in the reign of King Edward III, 1327–1377, at London and Reading, although Berwick and Reading coins are rare.

The usual obverse inscription of this reign was EDWARDUS REX AN – Edward King of the English – or on earlier coins EDWARDUS REX – King Edward – or EDWARDUS ANGLIE D or EDWARDUS DEI GRA R – Edward by the grace of God King. At this time English coins were much envied in Europe for their weight and good metal content, with the result that English halfpennies were copied on the continent. King Richard II produced all his halfpennies at the London mint; the obverse legend reads RICHARD REX ANGL – Richard King of England – around a front-facing bust of the king. The halfpennies of King Henry IV are difficult to identify because they have been clipped or worn; the obverse legend reads HENRIC REX ANGL around a front-facing bust of the king, while the reverse legend reads CIVITAS LONDON. In 1412 the weight of the halfpenny was reduced from 4.5 grains to 3.75 grains, although coins were produced from the same dies as before. The halfpennies of King Henry V are a little easier to identify, but the basic design remained the same as before.

In the first reign of King Henry VI, halfpennies were produced at London and Calais, less at York. The designs are continuations of those of the earlier Henries, with the obverse legend HENRIC REX ANGL; the halfpennies of the first reign of King Edward IV are divided into the heavy coinage up to 1464, only minted in London, the light coinage from 1464, produced at London, Canterbury and Norwich. The obverse inscription reads EDWARD DI G
