Forget NAS login

Connected to a NAS, like Synology SMB Service, and clicked ‘remember my credentials’? Sure, that makes it easy whenever you want to go back to that same shared folder, but now what happens if you want to connect using a different user, with different rights to the share?
You would have to remove the exisiting connection first, and make sure Windows 11 forgets how to connect to that Server/NAS/Share. So what do you do?

  1. In your Windows Start menu, search for “Credential Manager”.
  2. In the “Windows Credentials” section, remove any stored credentials referencing the share, network drives or similar:
  3. Open the details with the ‘arrow down’ and click “Remove”.
  4. Repeat these steps until you remove all of the credentials associated with the NAS.

Now you can reconnect to your share and use the correct login.
Have a nice day!

Watch Free Formula 1 streams F1

2021… Red Bull outsmarted Mercedes: Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton!

Now do you want to see the upcoming 2022 season? You could get a F1 membership, or watch it using a free livestream. Most of the time these streams are limited to the country, but you can use a good VPN service to watch it anyway. I used to promote NordVPN (but got no commission from posting a link to them, my advise… wait until February and get an F1 subscription with a good promotion and discount… anyway…)… they say this is how it works:

Skip Thunderbird calendar item summary

Since TB91 behaviour for opening an item in your Thunderbird Lightning calendar has changed from ‘edit item’ to ‘view summary’. Yes, you can click ‘edit’ or hit enter, but it just adds another step to an operation that should be default, or at least be a preference you can set.

So Google to the rescue… read this, this, this (text below) and this… and solve the problem just like we solved the transparent items issue.

Saving Energy

We all have to save some. It starts with the realisation what you are actually using energy for… continue to read some facts/indications in Dutch:

1 standaard kubieke meter gas (m3(n)) heeft een bovenwaarde van 35,17 MJ
1 kWh electriciteit heeft een energie inhoud van 3,6 MJ.

Berekening
1 m3(n) gas komt overeen met 35,17 MJ/3,6 MJ = 9,769 kWh electriciteit

Met 1 kWh kunt u ongeveer…
20 maaltijden in de magnetron opwarmen,
4 avonden tv kijken,
30 uur uw koelkast laten koelen en vriezen,
15 cd’s luisteren.

Met 1 kubieke meter gas kunt u ongeveer…
1 uur uw huis warm stoken in de winter,
3 keer douchen – of 5 keer met een spaardouche,
1 keer in bad,
6 hele maaltijden koken,
50 keer handenwassen.

So how to save some energy?
Wear something warm and read a book by candlelight!
