Here’s a Supersized Sansa Road! This genre recently got a port to pzprxs, so it’s time to cover it again!

Rules: Shade some cells so that the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely unshaded.
All unshaded cells have exactly two or three unshaded orthogonal neighbors. Triangles mark every unshaded cell with three unshaded neighbors.
A black circle indicates there are more shaded cells than unshaded cells among the cells the circle overlaps. A white circle indicates there are more unshaded cells. A grey circle indicates there is an equal amount of unshaded and shaded cells.

⚠️ Note that all triangles are given, meaning there can be no other three way junctions of unshaded cells anywhere in the grid, which therefore also means every other unshaded cell has exactly two unshaded neighbors.
