  • That's new to me. For me so far it was sufficient to follow this part from the linked article...

    Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.


  • An entry-model will cost CHF149 per month (about €156 or $169) to lease starting this summer

    While I highly appreciate smaller cars or alternative car-like vehicles, this feels quite expensive to me. You can get full sized cars (mostly fuel based though) for less than that. Of course, it's not fair to compare a small start up with the special deals of the big manufacturers but I think the majority of people will do just that.

    With the base 5.5kWh battery it’ll go about 100km before needing a charge or even up to 177km max for those opting for the larger 11kWh battery pack.

    While this consumption is less than 50% of the most efficient EVs known to me (Ionic, Ionic 6, Model 3, e-Up), it still feels like a lot for a microcar of that size that runs only 45 km/h. An e-bike consumes approximately 0.5-0.7 kWh per 100 km/h.


  • As you're currently using Windows on your PC, you might have to do an extended reboot. By default Windows skips the UEFI/USB step in the boot sequence to make Windows boot slightly faster.

  • I also don't understand the comparison to piracy but I think being a vegetarian is definitely more ethical than being an omnivore as long as you don't overcompensate meat with other animal products. If you stop eating chicken and in exchange start to eat an additional 3 eggs a day, that's probably worse for animals and nature.

    If you just cut back on meat and replace it with vegan alternatives while eating the same amount of cheese, eggs etc. as before it DOES have a positive impact and we should appeciate one's efforts.

    Hell, even flexitarians have a positive impact. Right now, there's around 90% omnivores worldwide. If all these omnivores reduced their consumption of animal products by let's say 20%, it would have a far bigger impact than another 2% going full blown vegan.

    Furthermore, it can be tough to go vegan all of a sudden. It takes time to change your diet, learn about healthy protein sources, essential nutrients and stuff. Going flexitarian first, then vegetarian and potentially vegan allows you to take one step at a time.

    Also being vegan is not where it ends in terms of caring for the environment. You can keep reducing your personal footprint indefinitely. No more flights, no car, less electricity, less shopping. Everything helps. And everyone should try to contribute in the way that feels the most manageable for your personal circumstances.
