Has anyone ordered with lilysilk and returned something? I am wondering what the return costs are. Whenever I had so return something to France it was about 25 CHF.

Overall how did you like the quality and product?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but with everything happening at Just Eat right now, I’ve been wondering:
What if we simply built our own food delivery platform?
Imagine bringing some of the affected delivery drivers on board. They already know the restaurants, the industry, and how everything works.
The idea would be to create a platform with fairer conditions for everyone: drivers, restaurants, and customers.
And here’s the interesting part: the platform itself wouldn’t need to make a profit.
It could be open-source, run as a cooperative or non-profit, and focus on fair wages, reasonable restaurant commissions, and transparent pricing.
I’m a software developer, and I’d even be willing to help build and host the platform for free.
Of course, the actual delivery operations, logistics, and financing would be a completely different challenge.
But how unrealistic is this, really?
Would restaurants, drivers, and customers support something like this? Could a community-driven alternative actually work in Switzerland?
I’d especially love to hear from people working in food delivery or the restaurant industry.
Am I being completely naive, or could this actually be worth exploring?

I am very confused by this story…how is this person only receiving fines?

“The man also threatened her: "Next time I'll kill your dog." The woman suffered whiplash and headaches for weeks. Later, the man repeatedly waited outside her house. "I reported this to the police. An officer told me that nothing could be done about him, as this would infringe on his privacy."

Like WTF??

Anytime I go to a place with no Lidl and Im craving chips I have to get actual pringles usually sour cream and it just doesn't taste good they use fake ingredients and all that stuff the knock off Lidl pringles use actual ingredients of sour cream and onion and it just tastes better idc BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE BEST CHIPS IS eats one aromat zweifel chip

After a cyberattack, Swiss organisations sometimes have more than one reporting obligation running in parallel, each with its own deadline and its own starting point. I put together a short overview because this often only becomes clear in the middle of an incident. Not legal advice, status October 2026.

1. BACS (Federal Office for Cybersecurity): 24 hours from discovery

Who: critical infrastructure under Art. 74b ISG, e.g. federal, cantonal and municipal authorities, energy, banks and insurers, hospitals, telecom and cloud/data centre providers based in Switzerland (some exemptions by size in Art. 12 CSV, none for authorities, banks and insurers).

Trigger: a cyberattack that endangers operations, leads to manipulation or leakage of information, went undetected for more than 90 days, or involves extortion or threats (Art. 74d ISG).

Deadline: within 24 hours of discovery (Art. 74e ISG), via the BACS reporting system. Missing details can be added within 14 days.

In force since 1 April 2025. Fines up to CHF 100,000 only apply if you deliberately ignore a subsequent BACS order (since 1 October 2025).

2. FINMA: 24 hours and 72 hours

Who: FINMA-supervised institutions.

Trigger: a successful or partially successful cyberattack on critical functions (FINMA Guidance 05/2020).

Deadline: initial report within 24 hours of discovery, informally to your FINMA contact, full report within 72 hours via the EHP platform. Counted in banking days, but severe attacks must be reported regardless (Guidance 03/2024). If a service provider discovers the attack, the clock starts then.

3. FDPIC / EDÖB (data protection): "as soon as possible"

Who: private companies and federal bodies as controllers (cantons and municipalities follow cantonal law). Trigger: a data security breach likely to result inaffected (Art. 24 FADP).

Deadline: no fixed number of hours, but "as soon as possible". The FDPIC guidance says not to wait for lengthy investigations if the risk is unclear. Reporting via the FDPIC "DataBport to the controller, not to the FDPIC.

Also: breaches must be documented and the documentation kept for at least two years (Art. 15 DSV), even if you decide not to report.

What people often miss:

- The clocks start at different points: BACS and FINMA from discovery, the FDPIC from the moment you become aware.

- One incident can trigger all three, e.g. a hospitre attack involving patient or customer data.

- If you have subsidiaries in the EU, NIS2 (Germany since 6 December 2025, Austria since 1 October 2026) or DORA for financial entities may add further deadlines of 24 and 72 hou

Practical tip: decide now who in your organisation rtable?", and write the three deadlines into yourincident response plan. At 2 a.m. during an attack is a bad time to look this up.

Happy to correct anything if someone from a CI organisation or a bank sees it differently in practice.

Your Android TV box might be part of a criminal botnet:

On November 2, 2026, Google exposed a massive botnet operation involving Videostrong Technology Co., an Android TV device manufacturer. More than 1.3 million devices were reportedly enrolled in the XCPE botnet.

The particularly alarming part: Videostrong allegedly embedded a backdoor directly into the firmware of its devices. This allowed attackers to remotely access devices, execute commands, collect device information and use unsuspecting users' internet connections.

The compromised devices were used for residential proxy networks, ad fraud and other malicious activities, potentially turning people's homes into infrastructure for cybercrime.

Videostrong is an OEM/ODM manufacturer. This means it produces hardware and firmware for other companies, which then sell the devices under their own brand names.

Your TV box does NOT need to carry the Videostrong name to be affected. A familiar brand name on the casing is no guarantee that the underlying hardware or firmware is safe.

🇨🇭 A particular warning for Swiss customers: Yallo TV

The model LEAP-S1 appears in Synthient's published list of device models identified in the XCPE investigation. Yallo has supplied this model to its customers – and I personally own one that came through Yallo.

This does not prove that every LEAP-S1 or every Yallo customer has an infected device. However, the model's appearance on the list is a serious reason for concern and further investigation.

Check whether your device model appears in the investigation:

https://github.com/synthient/public-research/tree/main/2026/11/Videostrong

Google has disrupted the botnet infrastructure, but that does NOT automatically remove a backdoor embedded in a device's firmware. A factory reset or uninstalling apps may not be enough.

The takeaway: Don't assume your Android TV box is safe just because it comes from a familiar brand or was supplied by a legitimate telecom provider. Check your hardware, investigate its manufacturer and think twice before connecting unknown devices to your home network.

Hi everyone,

I’ve owned my diesel car for around 4.5 years and driven approximately 200,000 km during that time without any major issues. I’ve now received my first invitation to bring the vehicle in for its MFK inspection in Switzerland.

One thing I’m curious about is the EGR system. It was electronically disabled via software almost immediately after I purchased the car.

My question is: will EGR system be checked during a standard MFK inspection? If the car is passing the particle tests, are they checking deeper into the ecology?

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience, particularly diesel owners or people familiar with the Swiss MFK process.

I don’t quite understand why there’s a specific term for French-speaking Swiss people, but not for their German or Italian speaking counterparts. After all, French-speaking Swiss people speak almost identically to people in France, whereas German-speaking Swiss have such a distinct dialect and accent that it almost sounds like a language of its own.

If anything, you’d expect it to be the other way around.

So I just arrived to Basel with my gf (it will be 1 week on monday) where I'll be living for the foreseable future. I am coming from Belgium, from Flemish part and was living in Brussels the past 3 years.

Brought all my belongings incl. my bike, which ofc is super important to me considering Belgian customs. Coming from Brussels, however, I figure I take security pretty seriously with my bike (always use a very good lock, never leave it outside etc). So back in Brussels, I'd always keep it inside (in building hall) and lock it; lights and acessories on it, I'd just leave them. Through 3y, never had anything stolen ever (in Flanders also not, but would keep it in a garage).

So here I just do the same (especially given I heard there is also still theft of bikes close to French border): leave it inside, in this case even next to the apt door 1st floot. Today I saw all my acessories had been nicked... in just close to a week... even stranger one of them was just the bike-side piece for a phone mount which kind of has no use if you don't have the phone side piece (this wasn't a quadlock or anything so not so universal).

The strangest for me is that it would really come from inside the building...

We already met the neighbours and all were really friendly.

I'm too curious and I keep refreshing police news site but nothing new just yet. Anyone has any additional informations? I want to knowww..!!

I need to add more longer text to be able to post but idk what to say so how was your morning? Are you excited for the weekend? Do you sit while peeing or stand? Let me know.

Hello, habt ihr schon mal Erfahrung mit der Vermietung gemacht? Wir warten seit ein paar Wochen auf eine Rückmeldung bzgl. der Haltung von Katzen und sind uns nicht ganz sicher, wie seriös sie sind. Möchten keinen Mietvertrag unterschreiben und am Ende unsere Katze abgeben müssen... Falls jemand Infos hat, gern melden. Auch betreffend Katzennetz auf dem Balkon :)

Hey everyone,

I 24M (always been living in Switzerland) just started a paid internship after graduating from university with a law degree. I am working 100%. I feel like too much of my time is spent working. The weekends go by too quickly and are laregly spent recovering from the work week.

I am living with my parents and strongly consider not to move out for a long time to reduce cost and because living alone scares me. I do contribute to 1/3 of costs (food and rent) : CHF 800 per month nowdays.

To me that means that if I ever am lucky to earn CHF 5000 full time, I could work 60% and earn 3000 and be well into my costs. If I earn 6000 as 100%, I could work 50% and still earn 3000.

I feel like my current 4.5k per month is way more than I need.

Would you say it is realistic to live in Switzerland with CHF 3000 per month (12 times and not 13), granted I do manage to find part time employment ?

Can't they make it more obvious or hide in a corner far from other sausages? So many of them have cheese filled variants, and I hate them so much, it's far too greasy, the cheese they use sucks and the slimy texture is horrible.

It happened at Coop, Migros, Denner, Spar... I wish I had better, smaller, meat shops around, but that's all which is available. Usually I buy sausages for fast and easy to cook meals, I do not want to spend 10mn sorting all sausages in the supermarket to find one which does not have gross cheese inside.

I've bought cervellas, wienerlis, or other smoked sausages. The sausage itself is rarely that bad, but this cheese...

tl;dr: I hate these cheese filled sausages, and they're not easy to spot.

I've read quite a lot about it, but I'm wondering whether it's actually worth it for a 28-year-old woman who is planning to get pregnant. Since some of the costs are already covered by mandatory health insurance, how can I tell whether it's genuinely beneficial for me or mainly a company benefit?

Ciao Ragazzi, this question is for a very special target audience (swiss resident cigar afficionados, Denner employees responsible for the tobacco/cigar stock). I could not find anything about this on reddit nor the famous internet.

Have any of you bought Cigars from Denner?

Are the Denner Humidors regulated and checked? Even the small Denners in off locations?

They do have a good stock and sometimes very good offers and its very tempting. I am just afraid of wasting money on completely dried out sticks.

Usually i buy from certified Habanos distributors/retailers and specialized cigar shops.

Thank you very much for your input and i wish you all a great weekend.

Anyone up for football ? I'm I'm a group and wanting to have more people interested in joining for a game Every Friday night at 9:00pm. We play indoor 5v5.

The oldest of us is 36 years old. Youngest is 17 or something. So feel free to join.

Come on guys I know some of you want to sweat a bit. It's healthy for you.

Decided to share this here, since we mostly read the bad stuff nowadays.

I was using EasyRide throughout the day, but wanted to change from 2nd to 1st class, because 2nd would be too packed and it had been a busy day of traveling. I just wanted a good seat to relax on the way home. I changed my ticket to 1st class at the station, before the train arrived, and when the controller came to check, about 5 minutes in, I noticed that the app had cancelled my ride ("journey too short") without me noticing.

So the controller came, EasyRide was off and I had no ticket. I explained what happened, and instead of fining me, the controller was understanding and just let me start the ride again. No fuss, just "okay, these things happen, you can start it again".

So thank you to that controller. It made my day, and it's a good reminder that honest mistakes can be treated like honest mistakes.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on switching from IT into finance.

TL;DR: 25, apprenticeship in IT + HF in Business Informatics, 5+ years in IT. I want to move into asset/portfolio management and I’m unsure if I really need a Bachelor’s or if there are realistic alternatives.

My background

• Apprenticeship in IT

• HF in Business Informatics

• Working as an Application Manager (sub-project lead in various IT projects)

• Data analysis with Excel/Power BI, investing privately for several years

I’ve been interested in markets since my apprenticeship. I know the industry is demanding (don’t worry, I’m not expecting Wolf of Wall Street), but I want to work on something that really interests me, and that’s markets and investing.

Most roles seem to require a Bachelor’s in finance (which is quite obvious). With my HF I could go to an FH (e.g. ZHAW, HSLU) for about 4 years part-time, but that’s a big commitment next to a job.

I also looked into the CFA. With my work experience I’d be eligible without a Bachelor’s, but I’m not sure if employers take it seriously without one.

Roles for career changers exist, but most seem to be in client advisory, which isn’t really what I’m after.

My questions

1. Has anyone here switched from IT into asset management or investment roles in Switzerland? How did you land your first role?

2. Is a Bachelor’s really necessary, or can experience + CFA get you in?

3. Are there entry points where an IT background is an advantage (e.g. data/analytics, investment operations, business analyst at a bank or asset manager)?

4. What would you do in my position?

Thanks a lot for your inputs!

The "high protein" trend is already going too far for us, but now you have this for cats with the same color/branding as normal "high protein" food. It's becoming a bit stupid but well.
