   - Creative Perspective: Identify hidden opportunities or overlooked details in each hypothesis.

   *2.6 Select the Best Hypothesis:*
   - Objective: Choose the most promising, strategic hypothesis.
   - Reflection: "Why does this hypothesis stand out? How does it uniquely address the issue?"
   - Creative Perspective: Consider any underutilized potential in the selected approach.

   *2.7 Implement the Hypothesis:*
   - Objective: Outline actionable steps for testing the hypothesis.
   - Reflection: "Is this plan practical? What resources or preparation are required?"

### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

Q:

How to make a USB visible in LXD Container

I am fairly new to LXD Conatiners. I have a Host ubuntu 16.04 machine running which has a single container :
root@ubuntu-blade1:/etc/udev/rules.d# lxc list
+-------------+---------+----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
|    NAME     |  STATE  |         IPV4         | IPV6 |    TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-------------+---------+----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
| nish-ubuntu | RUNNING | 10.20.186.185 (eth0) |      | PERSISTENT | 0         |
+-------------+---------+----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
root@ubuntu-blade1:/etc/udev/rules.d# 

I have a attached USB device to the main host system :
Disk /dev/sde: 14.7 GiB, 15795748864 bytes, 30851072 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0527cd14

The lsusb output is as follows :

Now i need to detect/attach the usb (/dev/sde ) inside the container. I am having a little context of udev and seen a couple of stack question on same issue but none have a clear procedure to do so. Can someone please guide ?

A:

This question is quite old, but I stumbled upon the same use case today and I found a solution so easy that probably it wasn't available 7 months ago.
At this link one can find more information, but essentially it is this way:
let's say we have a modem device (AT commands) on /dev/ttyUSB2 and a container "xenial1", one can add ttyUSB2 to the container with the following command:
$ lxc config device add xenial1 ttyUSB2 unix-char path=/dev/ttyUSB2

it does not matter whether the container is running or not
This configuration is permanently saved in the container's default profile:
$ lxc config show xenial1
architecture: x86_64
config:
  security.privileged: "true"
  volatile.base_image: <numbers>
  volatile.eth0.hwaddr: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
  volatile.idmap.base: "0"
  volatile.idmap.next: '[]'
  volatile.last_state.idmap: '[]'
  volatile.last_state.power: RUNNING
devices:
  root:
    path: /
    type: disk
  ttyUSB1:
    path: /dev/ttyUSB1
    type: unix-char
  ttyUSB2:
    path: /dev/ttyUSB2
    type: unix-char
ephemeral: false
profiles:
- default

In order to delete a device, use "remove" command in place of "add".
NOTE: my container is "privileged", so this solution might not work on unpriviledged containers

A:

if you are using an unpriviliged container, you might also set the right permissions for that device... i expierienced, that this was the case, when i tryed to use a webcam in a container... maybe this also helps here...

lxc config device add containerName yourNameForTheDevice unix-char path=/path/to/device
lxc config device set containerName yourNameForTheDevice mode 666

also be aware of the fact, that usb-passthrough only works with lxd 2.5 or higher,
as Stephan Graber writes at https://stgraber.org/ (scroll down to USB devices in containers). so maybe you also need to add the repository from the lxd-developers.... at this moment, the "normal" ubuntu-xenial repositorys only has lxd-version 2.0.9
check wich version you have with

dpkg -l lxd

take a look at this page and consider using that repository:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/ubuntu/lxd-stable
if you do so, you could update it to version 2.15
