  • You’re doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn’t supposed to be an attack but isn’t it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it’s wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn’t allowed to sell it because they’re still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won’t take long until it can be sold. I think they’re starting to sell it outside the EU tho.





  • Rufus has that option, I’ve used it myself to update to Win11 because I didn’t have a motherboard with TPM at the time.
    Also wanna mention, the reason I updated was mostly because I thought Win10 was kinda ugly and I think Win11 was a huge update in that regard and also because of security reasons, since Win10 won’t receive any more updates in the near future. At the end of the day, I can count on one hand how often I boot Windows in a year (I almost exclusively use Linux), so I don’t really care about all the Win11 bullshit anyway.


  • The way it works is that you need a proprietary app (in the past it was on PC and you had to connect the phone over USB, now it’s an app on the phone) where you log in with the Xiaomi Account that is also logged in on your phone. Then you “request” a bootloader unlock and after a week or so you can do the same thing again and it unlocks the bootloader. My guess would be that it uses encryption on the phone in some way and the server sends the decryption key. I also just thought that the process is so tedious that someone should have come up with a way to circumvent it already but maybe no one wanted to invest the time since it was possible that way. Either way, I don’t have experience with this kind of thing, so I’m not really the person to figure it out.
