I like my individualized mail addresses. I just received a phishing mail to update my data with a Swiss payment system (TWINT) - but it was sent to an address I created for a doctor's appointment system (Onedoc).
The message also contains my postal address from the time I created that account.

Johnny Harris (he doesn't seem to have a presence here) has a really good video out right now on public transportation in Switzerland. "By law, every village in Switzerland, which has people living all year round, they have the right of public transportation. It can be a train, it can be a gondola, it can be a bus. Whatever." That's pretty cool.

1,000 Swiss glaciers already gone, and the melting is speeding up
Swiss glaciers lost nearly 3% of their volume in 2025, following a snow-poor winter and scorching summer heatwaves. The melt has been so extreme that some glaciers lost more than two meters of ice thickness in a single season. Scientists caution that the decline is destabilizing mountains, raising risks of rock and ice avalanches. Long-term monitoring efforts are now more critical than ever.

Ghana, Switzerland partner on $200 million rooftop solar rollout
Ghana’s new clean energy program, backed by Switzerland’s Klik Foundation, will install 4,000 rooftop systems totaling 137 MW to expand renewable capacity and cut emissions.

Swiss glaciers shrank by a quarter in past decade: study
Switzerland's glaciers, which are disproportionately impacted by climate change, have lost a quarter of their volume in the past decade alone, a study warned Wednesday, heightening concerns over accelerating melting.
