Computer fixing - 101

Every now and then a developer needs to change his system to a clean installation. Honestly said for most of us our computers are just like your high-school chemistry assignments, where disregarding all the rules you just mix everything until a chemical reaction starts to stir. Hopefully without any explosions.

In my case I just freshly installed to windows 10 on my solid state drive. One problem after reinstalling the folder path of my username is auto-generated with a rather cryptic scheme. Quickly followed some tutorials. Renamed the folder path in HKLM/CurrentVersion/Microsoft/Windows/ProfileList.... and after this the windows store starts to malfunction.

Even worse, it makes deploying (universal-)apps from Visual Studio also impossible. The solution is always more trivial. To fix the problem all I had to do was go to my user settings, and click the link "Sign in with a local account instead".




This will proceed with a number of questions that changes the account name. After that I simply reversed it again and switched the local account to microsoft account and voila no more errors.

Securing your hardware wallet

Recently I found myself to test out an Trezor. For people not aware this is a hardware wallet for cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin). It was very happy with my new toy, however during the installation I noticed an rather opaque security flaw in the design.
