Stuff I use

Last updated on June 07, 2024.

A non-exhaustive list of things I use and maybe recommend.

Hardware

• MacBook Pro 14-inch - M3 Pro with 36 GB RAM and a 4TB SSD. I adore this machine.
• iPhone 14 Pro - 512 GB storage. Best phone I’ve ever owned so I never bothered with the 15. I’ll probably get the 16 when it comes out.
• Keychron 10 Pro Mechanical Keyboard - with Gateron Red switches and Cyberpunk 2077 keycaps. Great keyboard, average keycaps but they look rad so I’m keeping them.
• Logitech MX Anywhere 3s Mouse - I bought this just for travel but ended up using it all the time. It’s great.
• Samsung 32-inch 4K monitors - they’re fine, I didn’t want to spend the money for two Studio Displays.
• Airpods Pro - for listening to music and podcasts. I love these things so much.
• Apple Watch Series 9 - For fitness tracking. I turn notifications off because I’ll check them when I want to, not when my watch tells me to.
• Xbox Series X - for most of my gaming.
• Nintendo Switch - for some more gaming.
• Logitech GCloud - for cloud gaming and retro gaming. This thing is infinitely more useful than I ever imagined and I’ve grown to love it. I’ll write more about it at some point.
• Amazon Fire Max 11 - I had an iPad but gave it away because I felt like I wasn’t using it to it’s full potential. I found that I missed having a tablet sized device for a few specific things: reading PDFs and programming books, and watching stuff. This tablet was cheap (I got it on sale with a trade-in bonus so it was VERY cheap) and it does the job. Also with some minor fiddling you can install the Google Play store and get lots of apps that Amazon don’t let you install normally.
