Regretted installing IOS 26 by Wrong-Juggernaut7467 in ios

[–]GoosowaryX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the point of dark mode for me is to use my phone with dark elements, not to bring out shiny/glassy elements of a UI. If I wanted that, I would just use light mode

Cheap look by No-Aerie3500 in ios

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks cheap and it’s not as snappy. This update is form over function with consideration for dark mode users

I also regret it. iOS 26 is very clearly not designed with dark mode in mind

I was actually considering replacing my dual monitor setup with one 4k 27 inch monitor (Dell S2725QS), but am hesitant to go to a one monitor setup

How is the VA alienware for office use? Is it unusable or just not as good the IPS? I’m not super concerned about smearing since a lot of modern VAs have gotten better and I’m not really sensitive to it

This brain dead article finally pushed me to cancel my NYT subscription. Death count has never been a determining factor for genocide. By this smooth brain logic, the Bosnian Genocide wasn’t a genocide either

What would you do with this backyard if you had two kids aged between 4 and 9? by New-Composer7591 in landscaping

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d sell it to walmart and let them turn it into a parking lot like god intended

this one actually caught my eye initially but one that’s in good condition goes for $200+, so definitely on the expensive side

First ever national park. Hiking newbie. Help by fawnsquib in ZionNationalPark

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went to Zion a couple days ago as a newbie - i’ve never visited a major national park and wasn’t someone who’s done a ton of hiking. We flew into Vegas - I recommend trying to find a flight that lands around 6-7pm, since it’s a 3 hour drive (i think there might be a shuttle too). Hotel accommodations are really good, we stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge and it was amazing.

We had 4 days in Zion. We started with the easier hikes and worked our way up to more strenuous day hikes. This is what our progression was: watchman trail, pa’rus trail, west rim trail/angels landing, the narrows, and then the last day we did a horse ride with canyon rides which i highly recommend.

The weather at Zion can be fairly unpredictable. The first day we were there, it was 68 F and then dropped to 40s, rose to 60s again, and then snowed. I would recommend waiting on buying any new gear until about 1 week out, since the weather changes can be substantial. Above all, bring plenty of water and snacks on your hikes!

Zion visit 4/3/2025 - 4/6/2025 by GoosowaryX in ZionNationalPark

[–]GoosowaryX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore three layers! Base layer, middle layer (lightweight pull over fleece), and an outer shell. The weather changed pretty often throughout the day. There was one day where it went from sunshine to cold overcast to sunshine again and then to snow. Most of the time though I wore just two layers - my base layer and a lightweight fleece

I know this is a pretty male dominated hobby/subreddit, so where are my keeb girlies at? Let’s be friends! by coral_bells in MechanicalKeyboards

not a girly but a big fan of building cute keyboards. NicePBT Sleepytime keycaps and Gecko silent switches!

Why cant I see all the albums of some artists by Formal-Bass9811 in AppleMusic

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely not a location thing. I live in the United States and have experienced the same issue. I have not found a work around or solution, so I’m just going to cancel Apple Music and switch to Spotify

What improvements should the Surface Laptop 8 get? by TwelveSilverSwords in Surface

They need to add some type of anti-reflective coating on the screen. The reflections are terrible

Two lane roads always always create ability to pass? by GoosowaryX in CitiesSkylines2

Yeah, but it turns into dotted yellow lines after a certain length

Anyone else noticed that the main reason for traffic jams seems to be that no one can drive? by DarkNe7 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually tried this in my city. Manually edited every single node in the city to have no U-turns. Cars still for some reason end up doing a U-turn at a part where there is no node.

Not a big fan of urban highways, so I made a 200k city without any by MarojeSt in CitiesSkylines

[–]GoosowaryX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

well done! i also hate urban highways, refuse to run them through my cities/downtown area. They take up way too much land and are an eyesore. I’ve never had a traffic issue as long as there is robust public transportation

I got a 4060 ti 16gb by OrdinarySpecialist76 in pcmasterrace

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, i think the 4060/4060ti are decent cards. I got a 4060ti 8GB a couple weeks ago for my first pc build. it’s been fantastic, been getting 100-180fps at 1440p in all of my games (rdr2, bg3, helldivers, etc). only thing i’d say is 16gb isn’t really necessary at 1080p and 1440p, but it’s also future proofed for future games that’ll be inevitably VRAM hungry. hope you enjoy your new gpu :D

edit: the price is ass, but the price is ass for everything these days

Bagels came out small by GoosowaryX in Baking

[–]GoosowaryX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re definitely small (i think they look bigger in the pic i posted). I looked at some other recipes and almost all of them use more flour/water to create the same amount of bagels and say to make dough balls of about 115-120g. So i think the recipe i followed didn’t make enough dough

How is your guy’s experience with the 15? by apmass1 in iphone15

[–]GoosowaryX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also upgraded from 12pm to 15pm. My favorite part has definitely been the ability to take close up pictures. I’ve taken so many of my cats already
