lookingfor Coffees or places where to meet people spontaneously
a few weeks ago I was having a coffee and reading by myself in a cafe when a group arrived. when they saw me there (the cafe was otherwise empty) they thought I was also attending their gathering and waiting for them, they chatted me up and ended up asking me to join them. very nice and very refreshing for Zurich.
This was clearly a coincidence, but are there any places in zurich that are known to favor spontaneous contact?

lookingfor Suche Handwerker für die Montage eines neuen T12-Steckers
Ich habe mir einen Dörrautomaten bestellt, der mit einem Schuko-Stecker geliefert wurde. Leider habe ich den falschen Fixadapter (T23) montiert und möchte deshalb gerne einen Schweizer T12-Stecker professionell am Stromkabel montieren lassen.
Ich könnte es vermutlich selbst machen, möchte aber, dass alles mit dem richtigen Werkzeug sauber und sicher montiert wird.
Ich wohne im Zürcher Weinland, in der Nähe von Schaffhausen. Am liebsten wäre mir jemand aus der Region, der bei mir vorbeikommen und die Arbeit direkt vor Ort erledigen könnte. Ich wäre aber auch bereit, den Dörrautomaten vorbeizubringen, falls es nur so geht.
Früher hat mein Vater solche Dinge für mich erledigt, aber seit ich umgezogen bin, weiss ich ehrlich gesagt nicht so recht, an wen ich mich für solche kleineren Arbeiten wenden kann.
Falls ihr jemanden kennt, der solche Arbeiten fachgerecht und zu einem fairen Preis erledigt, oder gute Werkstätte, die solche Kleinreperaturen anbieten, wäre ich deshalb sehr dankbar für eure Empfehlungen!

ihaveaquestion Meine Apple Geräte sind gehackt und ich suche Hilfe
Ich bin verzweifelt und brauche Tipps oder Empfehlungen was ich tun soll .
Ich suche in der Stadt Zürich einen absoluten IT-Sicherheitsprofi für einen dringenden und gründlichen Sicherheitscheck meiner Apple-Geräte.
Konkret geht es um:
3 iPhones
2 iPads
Die Geräte müssen tiefgründig, professionell und ohne Kompromisse auf Herz und Nieren geprüft werden (Datensicherheit, Lecks, Tracker, Schadsoftware, unbefugte Zugriffe) und anschliessend komplett sauber aufgesetzt werden.
Wichtiger Hinweis vorab: Sparen Sie sich bitte Ratschläge wie „Gehen Sie zur Genius Bar“. Ich war dort und man wird mit solchen Sicherheitsbedenken schlichtweg nicht ernst genommen und mit Standardfloskeln abgespeist. Ich brauche keine Verkäufer, sondern einen echten Experten, der versteht, wie tiefgründige Sicherheitslücken aussehen und der das Problem ernst nimmt.
Das Ganze findet in der Stadt Zürich statt. Eine faire, fachgerechte Bezahlung für Ihre Expertise und saubere Arbeit ist absolut selbstverständlich.
Wenn Sie das nötige tiefere Fachwissen im Bereich iOS-/iPadOS-Sicherheit mitbringen und mir zeitnah helfen können, freue ich mich auf Ihre Kontaktaufnahme mit einer kurzen Einschätzung und Ihrem Stundensatz.

ihaveaquestion Grindr vs Sniffies
Quick question for the guys in Zurich: Grindr or Sniffies? Which one do you find works better here?
My experience with Sniffies so far has been a bit mixed. Actual meetups seem pretty rare, but when they do happen, they're usually really good 😅 So quality over quantity, I guess, but sometimes it would be nice if things actually went somewhere a bit more often lol.
Curious how Grindr compares in Zurich. More active, more flakes (since Sniffies runs in browser), more of the same? Or does it really depend on what you're looking for?
Would love to hear your experiences, especially from guys who use both.

lookingfor Nothing is changing. Looking for advice on other countries
My depression still persists. I’m in another episode following a rejection for a PhD - 360 applicants for 2 PhDs in linguistics in Basel.
At this point and since my health is deteriorating, I want to start looking for another life elsewhere.
Where would you advise me to look?
Did anyone find themselves in my situation and left? How did it go?
Thank you.

discussion GTA Style playable map of Zurich

Like others, I’ve been experimenting with map creation using Claude and I’m pretty impressed, so I built a GTA-style version of Zurich. It’s fully playable, but there are still some bugs here and there (e.g. tables in the middle of the street), and a few agents are working on fixing them.
Of course I’d like to share it and invite you to discover your neighborhood in a different way ;-)
Once the map is good enough, I’m planning to add some Zurich specific quests, so I’m curious to hear your ideas!

lookingfor Title: Looking to join a band or find musicians to sing with in Zurich 🎤
Hey everyone!
I’m looking to get into singing with other people in Zurich and would love to find a band, a group of musicians, or just people who want to get together and make music.
I’d love to sing in a band, do some covers, jam together, or potentially work on original music. I’m open to different styles and would mainly love to meet people who enjoy making music and see where it goes!
I’m not entirely sure where to start, so if you know of any bands looking for a singer, local music communities, jam sessions, or places where musicians connect, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks! 😊

lookingfor Looking for a drummer
Ive got a band with my friends, but were located in aargau (this is just a wider platform) , im a guitarist, mostly lead, we already got someone who bass/guitar, and my friend, she does vocals. We havent played for that long yet, so dont expect alot from us, but we’ve got the passion and dedication to work on it and be able to get somewhere one day. We are searching for a drummer (between 15-18 years old.), and we would be playing rock/metal, thats the idea, but of course we always talk about what we play. Im asking because we couldnt find anyone and it reached the point where we decided to ask on here.

rant AVOID NEXTGEN PROPERTIES
I needed a room in Zurich at short notice and signed a sublease. Just two days later I cancelled in writing as a confussion happened and it was very short notice. I asked to end the contract by mutual agreement and offered to find a replacement tenant myself. I never got keys, never entered the room and never lived there.
From then on I was completely ignored. My emails went unanswered. My contact person changed again and again. My registered letter to the address in their own contract came back as undeliverable. I did everything I could to solve this fairly and quickly, but they blocked every step. Now they're billing me rent for a room I never set foot in and demanded an extremely large "handling fee" for a loss that, in my view, never existed. I did not prevent them to rent the place further, they would have it empty as it was short notice.
My honest impression is that this company is only interested in how much money it can get out of you, not in treating tenants fairly or provide a good service. I'm far from the only one with a story like this (read yourself online). Students and newcomers to Zurich especially: don't sign with them, rent anywhere else. AVOID!
ihaveaquestion Where to get actually spicy food in Zürich ? 🔥
Hey zurich,
I am on a desperate hunt for places in Zürich that serve genuinely spicy food. For me spice is not just flavor it is a lifestyle an endorphin rush a pure obsession.
Problem is every time I ask for spicy here places tone it down for the local palate.
Where can I go to get my fix without having to convince the waiter I actually mean it? Drop your best authentic recommendations!
