### *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:

Grub2 and UEFI, ASUS Zenbook

I just bought a new laptop "Asus Zenbook UX32L". I had Windows8 preinstalled. But I needed Ubuntu. So I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I totally cleared my HDD and I just clicked Install Ubuntu. After some time I got an error Installer crashed. I didnt understand whats happening so I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This installation crashed too. I had pretty same error, but here, in Ubuntu 12, I was able to see where the installation crashed. It has crashed when it was trying to install grub2. Its new laptop so it had UEFI. Seems like this grub is not appropriate for UEFI. (Although, when installation crashed, it destroyed my Win8, and before Installation Ubuntu didnt see her.)
I have searched a bit and looks like I need to change grub or UEFI, but I didnt get how. And I dont want to break whole computer while changing UEFI.
How can I solve it? As I understand I need at least to upgrade grub to grub-efi on my liveUSB, but dont know how.

A:

Using unetbootin to create a boot disk for a UEFI (I tend to use the term EFI, though it's technically incorrect) system is a common mistake. unetbootin, last I checked is not EFI-aware and only makes BIOS-type boot disks. This is where the problem originates. Since unetbootin creates BIOS-type boots disks, you had to enabled BIOS mode in your EFI in order to boot it, forcing Ubuntu to install in BIOS mode, rather than EFI mode.
So, how do you fix this?
Given your information from the comments, we're going to use your second flash drive as it should be easiest.

Back up your second USB to your other computer. This process will destroy everything on the second drive.
Boot up the Ubuntu drive you've already created, and tell it "Try Ubuntu", we'll be working from the LiveUSB.
Re-download the Ubuntu ISO from releases.ubuntu.com (it will be saved in RAM). Alternatively, if you've got Linux and the ISO on your other PC, you can do this process form there as well.
Once the download is completed, open a terminal.
cd ~/Downloads
Type mount
Now, plug in the second drive and once it shows up as plugged in, run mount again. We're trying to find the device name of the newly-plugged device. You will see a new entry in the second output that didn't exist in the first. It will start with something like this:
/dev/sdX# on /media/ubuntu/[...]

where X is a letter, # is a number and [...] may be the label of the drive or a random set of characters and dashes. It'll look something like /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd1, /dev/sde1, etc. This is your second flash drive, hopefully. Take note of the /dev/sdX# part, we'll need it later in step 11.
To verify that it is, in fact your second drive, enter the command ls /media/ubuntu/[...] (The /media/ubuntu/[...] part is what shows up from the second mount command in step 6-7). If it's not the right drive, unplug the second USB again and repeat steps 6-7 again until you're sure you have the right drive and device name (i.e., /dev/sda1).
If the output of the ls command shows the file structure of your second USB drive (the one you're not booting off and the one that you don't mind wiping) then we're ready to go!
At this point, we're going to write this ISO directly to the second USB drive. This next command WILL destroy all data on your drive, so make sure you have backed up the drive and that you have selected the correct device (the /dev/sdX# part).
sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M (Note: drop the # off the /dev/sdX# above and just use the /dev/sdX part -- replacing the 'X' with the actual letter of course. /dev/sdc1 becomes /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd1 becomes /dev/sdd, etc.). After this you will have a fully bootable Ubuntu USB drive (both EFI and BIOS).
Now, reboot the computer and change the EFI settings back to EFI mode (i.e., not BIOS/Legacy/CSM mode).
Plug in the newly formatted USB drive and boot off it. That should be all there is to it, Ubuntu should boot and install in UEFI/EFI mode.
