>I wonder how much the negatives of being short are caused by lower self esteem due to simply what people say and think about heights.
There are statistically proven negative points in being not very attractive in general. Beautiful people have (significantly) higher chance to become successful in their job and/or businesses.

The software has been written by Bosch by Audi’s request. Bosch have even put a disclaimer that it might be illegal using it out of testing lab.

So the disassembling confirms that ECU is just not feeding the exhaust with AdBlue/Urea. So what is the advantage for VW in all this?! It does not make your car more powerful, it makes it less eco-friendly, you are just saving money on AdBlue/Urea.
They could easily reverse it back, the power will be the same, pollution levels will be okay, only AdBlue/Urea consumption will increase.

There is a hack to make PowerShell print vt100 colours http://www.nivot.org/blog/post/2016/02/04/Windows-10-TH2-%28...
Doesn’t work for me, but works for others it seems.
