Uses
Updated:
- Lenovo Thinkpad T480. Bought in 2018. Upgraded RAM to 16GB.
- Windows 11. My thinkpad gets slower with every windows version bump. I use this to de-bloat)
- Firefox browser.
- Some browser extensions that provide relatively disproportionate benefits:
- uBlock Origin
- Bypass Paywall Clean
- uBlacklist to remove search results from content farms
- LibRedirect to redirect popular websites to lightweight and privary-friendly version
- Containerise to e.g. open work and personal Github pages in my Firefox or when I have to open social media links like facebook and instagram.
- Sublime Text is my IDE for personal projects. VSCode is so bloated.
- Fira code is my programming font. I bought Monokai Pro color theme.
- I'm paying for Proton VPN. I was on MullVad VPN but they stopped supporting port forwarding. Also read this.
- My personal email is with Protonmail.
- Asus Zenfone 8. Bought it for its small size. Everything else about it sucks. I only wish for a small boring android phone.
Wired in-ear earphones Moondrop aria. Great sound quality on a budget.Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. Bought it during lockdown to make some beats. It does give more surround atmospheric and richer sound than Moondrop which was giving me tiny electric shocks in my ear...weirdCorded Logitech M100r mouse with zero bell-and-whistles.Logitech Lift. I do feel less strain on my wrist now.- IKEA standing desk with a manual crank.
- Chair is from IKEA too. Nothing fancy and it's cheap and I actually feel less strain on my upper body.
- Filco tenkeyless mechanical keyboard. Simple. Low height. No RGB etc. stuff.
- roost laptop stand.
- No external monitor - just my thinkpad laptop screen :P
