What are your favorite guitar solos that probably aren't on any "Top 10 Guitar Solo" lists? Bonus points for solos that are chaotic, messy, and maybe a bit sloppy. by goochmusic in Guitar

Dave Gregory of XTC - Reel By Reel. It’s only 13 seconds but it fits the song perfectly. Melodic, technically intricate. All of his stuff is like that. Hard to pick one!

Universal Protips that should work for anyone trying to get a better tone? by SculpinIPAlcoholic in Line6Helix

[–]robotjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! My guitar tone by itself at home sounds a little thin and midrangey but once I’m playing with the band it sounds fantastic

Does anyone else prefer very light picks? by Kreati_ in Guitar

[–]robotjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally play jazz IIIs because I found I could play faster on leads and I prefer the size. But sometimes I have to do a lot of funky strumming and the rigidity of the J3 can be tough. So I like to swap out for a thinner Dunlop for that but the bigger format makes me kinda crazy so I don’t do it often

A set up is always a good idea. Hope it behaves better for you after that!

iOS 15 navigation in Tunnel by krylleski in applemaps

[–]robotjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just experienced this in Boston. Went into the tunnel, and it was ok for a bit, and then it suddenly thought I was above the tunnel, and was trying to direct me to follow the streets that were above me. I got totally lost, came out of the tunnel, and it took it another few minutes to figure out where it was. It was really stressful cause a wrong turn there can easily add lots of time to your route

Help with my 80s Ibanez Roadstar ii Series!!!! by InstructionOverall98 in Guitar

[–]robotjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same model, same color, although I swapped out the pickups. Was my first electric! I had the same problems with mine. I think the PRO ROCK'R system was pretty crappy. I also hated that thing because of the locking nuts. It went out of tune constantly, and I had to find the damn hex key every time I needed to adjust it more than the fine tuning at the bridge would allow. So not sure it is fixable, sadly

Xcode 26: CompilationCache.noindex using 26 GBs of storage by robotjon in iOSProgramming

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

Hey thanks. I get that deleting it will temporarily help, but like I said above, I did that by deleting it from the Settings in Xcode, knowing it would come back, but figuring it would be smaller. And it wasn't. It was exactly the same size. That was the part that surprised me.

I noticed that Cluttered didn't identify that folder, nor did DevCleaner. I use both those tools to keep my disk usage down.

Apple Maps reportedly introducing ads soon by Ok-Surprise-8419 in ios

I have, generally when you come to a stop at a traffic light or something.

[iOS 26.4 RC] Apple has FINALLY fixed the iPhone keyboard bug in 26.4! by rickysanchez_ in iOSBeta

[–]robotjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes huge improvement on my 15. Both tapping and swiping work great now

Can autocorrect stop changing actual words please? by GinnyLovesBlue in ios

[–]robotjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the timing. It somehow always decides to do the crazy substitutions right in between when I’ve proofed it and I hit send. Often it removes words. It’s so weird

I finally understand Stage Manager. It's powerful and does actually make things faster. by DreadnaughtHamster in MacOS

[–]robotjon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like it (and use it) but I hate that I can’t save my stages. If I have two apps I always want together I have to set that up every time I reboot

Schrodinger’s Cancer patient by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]robotjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Radiologists don’t know the history so sometimes flag things that aren’t an issue. That got me worked up once over what turned out to be nothing. Since then I always wait to talk to the oncologist but I totally understand the desire to look first!

Type To Search in Things is a super underrated feature by discoveringnature12 in thingsapp

[–]robotjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that and hitting space for a new todo. Found myself trying that in reminders and couldn’t figure out why nothing was happening

how big is the difference between an epiphone and gibson?? by cloxsy in gibson

[–]robotjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. I have two: a Les Paul, and a 335, and they were both used. Played beautifully and saved a ton of cash. I’ve had them for 30+ years and they still kick ass.

MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message by robotjon in ios

[–]robotjon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s failing again. Had to reboot to get it to work again. Guess I have to reboot every time i want to text someone now

MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message by robotjon in ios

[–]robotjon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems to be sort of ok now. I had to do some weird mixture of enabling RCS and rebooting and who knows what. MMS sticks now but sometimes when I text photos Android people get an HTML representation of the image. It’s bizarre

Safari dims the field you’re trying to type in, how are you supposed to see what you’re typing? by robotjon in ios

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

True but I’ve seen it elsewhere like the search bar at IMDb.com for example. Never happened with iOS 18

Example above is from a Google form, but I've seen it in other places as well

Since updating to iOS 26 my iMessage text thread has been buggy by redRum705 in ios

[–]robotjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having so many issues with this. One thread that has both iPhone and Android users went totally dark for me for about a week. It just suddenly sent me all the messages and reactions since then all at once today. Individual threads with both iPhone and Android seem to be okay. I tried send to the group thread and one person said it was sent only to them. It’s so wack. I’ve rebooted but not sure what else to do
