Firefox Multi-Account Containers with Mozilla VPN would be a start.

I hope you're kidding with respect to Switzerland's handling of covid...

We have the worst vaccine coverage of western Europe.

The government didn't take the necessary measures in September/October last year which lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Most schools have no mitigation in place, no CO2 meter, no filtering, no mask, no testing.

The largest political party (SVP/UDC) has systematically downplayed the pandemic.

Etc.

Very cool project. I'm currently evaluating whether I could commute 75km per day on a pedelec. In Switzerland there is a small bike manufacturer that makes long range pedelec : https://www.speedped.com/ (German only). It's very expensive though but the battery pack can be updated to something quite impressive.

I like Threema because it has a business model that sounds viable and doesn't rely on donations or advertisement.

- Paid app for general public (one-time fee)

- Separate "Enterprise" solution (Threema "Work") with paid subscriptions

I had a VERY quick glance at it and there doesn't seem to be any USB support, is that also because of US sanctions or did I miss it ?

I've used http://docopt.org/ in the past for a toy project.

It's an interesting concept where you define the command line "help" syntax and it generates an arguments structure and an associated parser. I've used the C version, I believe the C++ version is better maintained.

What about replacing the laptop and just cloning the content. I wouldn't notice.

I think that feature is built in the Android Play store. From what I understand you can get a refund if you don't like the app.

Also this news that reagent is no longer required:

Of course it is cancelled.

The federal government announced all events with more than 1000 people involved cancelled till 15th of March. It just cannot go on.

It's how you access memory mapped registers in C. It's writing the value 0x04 at that address using a 32-bit memory write. There is a peripheral register at that location.

From the article:

> I quickly identify a pure HW processing 500us before the beginning of the UART ascii strings ‘ets June 2018’ corresponding to the BootROM process.

> This HW activity is probably the eFuses Controller initialisation, and a load of the eFuses values in some dedicated buffer memory, to be used by the Flash controller for further steps).

How one would come to this specific conclusion without having any prior knowledge of the boot rom ?

Same happened to me last night, I reviewed all my access rights on security.google.com, couldn't find anything wrong. Reviewed my calendar access rights, couldn't find anything wrong.

Glad to have an explanation for this phenomenon.

These effects add a lot of latency (several pictures) so they are no good for general purpose computing, specifically gaming (hence the "game" or "PC" mode on the TV).

> Parental leave seams such a natural right to have that it's strange that there exists any opposition to it. Mothers and fathers benefit from it. Fighting for women's rights is also figthing for a more just and balance society for everyone.

Yet our government (I'm swiss) stubbornly refuses to introduce a paternity leave. This will hopefully change in the coming years because they will be forced to through an initiative (one collected enough signatures already and a vote will follow).

Or maybe, as I mentioned in a previous comment [1]:

   - Mr. Wuang knew about the bad spot
   - A Tesla OTA solved the issue for that particular spot
   - He got used to the car behaving properly in that location
   - A Tesla OTA introduces a regression for that particular spot
   - Mr. Wuang dies.

While it's definitely satisfying to interact with the physical world it also means that sometime you're debugging your software issues (which might be hardware ones), using output signals connected to an oscilloscope or a logic analyser (once you have exhausted the blinking LEDS options...) !

I had it on Tuesday, I was surprised by the wording used by Microsoft once you click on the "Learn More" you're redirected to [1].

"Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10. And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended."

It's the first time I see Microsoft actively recommending to buy a new PC for a new OS and even helping you purchasing one !

I had a GFX card that would only work when warm (power-on PC, black screen, wait 30 seconds, power-off PC, power-on PC, PC boots). Failing to wait long enough the PC wouldn't boot. PC booted fine with another GFX card. Never tried debugging further.

My wife had a computer (before we met) that would boot only when warmed up using a hair dryer !
