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


He meant "charge".


Yes, should be charge not change. Sorry my bad, I blame autocorrect on my phone. :)


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.


> We have the worst vaccine coverage of western Europe.

You're right, I hadn't realised this. Still, all countries in Western Europe are within ~10% of each other when it comes to the percentage of the population that's fully vaccinated.

More generally, I definitely don't think Switzerland's handling of the pandemic was perfect, but it currently seems to me that Switzerland did mostly follow the advice of the scientific community.


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.


You definitely could, but .ch is a bit more mountainous than where I live to put it mildly so it's not the distance that I would worry about but the elevation change. If that's within bounds you likely would be fine in three seasons but winter would be problematic, if not downright dangerous.


Since they are registered and used as mopeds, why not get an electric moped instead? Then you don't have to pedal and can sit more comfortable, maybe even with a windscreen.

I don't really see the point of pedelecs, unless you disregard the law and just pretend they are less powerful e-bikes. But then you'll lose it if the police notice.


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


Didn't Whatsapp start out like that?


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.


Docopt is great until you start digging in and discover the author doesn't have the first clue about parsing. I don't mean in the sense of "weird opinions about recursive descent", but in the literal sense of "has no idea what parsing is or means". The internal implementation is a gigantic clusterfuck of the worst sort of poorly constructed, unmaintainable code you could imagine.

I maintain two ports of docopt and I'm telling you not to use it.


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


The T2 chip in modern Macs is responsible for operating as the disk controller for the on-board flash, and encrypts the filesystem at rest.

You could copy some data over live, but there are also non-exportable cryptographic keys in the Secure Enclave.


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:
