The Technology I Use
I use a ThinkPad for work, but my heart belongs to the PC I built with a fully custom water-cooling loop down to the SSD. Outside of that, I usually hang onto a Pro Max iPhone for a couple of years before getting the latest model. I also spend a decent amount of time with an aging Kindle.
As for software, I’ve used Chrome and iTunes for too long to stop. I rely on the Google Suite for organization and backing up my data, and I couldn’t enjoy my days off without Discord and Steam. I typically write down what I need to do in the Notes app on my iPhone.
For audio, I’m a lover of cables, especially the ones that connect to my Shure SRH-1540 daily drivers. At home, my Yamaha RX-V583 receiver drives a pair of Paradigm Prestige 15Bs for stereo entertainment, with enough Polk speakers in concert to round out a 7.1 setup.
