Upgraded to Mojave.
Works so much better than I expected. Feels much better than the touchbar macbook I used at work for 3 years.
Now looking for a good battery to keep it in shape.

If you control 2-3 computers next to each other, I recommend the Logitech MX Keys and MX Master 3s. I can control multiple computers and switch between them by holding ctrl and bringing my mouse to the edge of a screen. It then jumps to the other computer seamlessly. Now my desk is clutter free of multiple mice and keyboards.
There's also barrier https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/ and some others.
I bought a longboard and it was the most fun I have had doing an activity outdoors for years. it was a bit of trick to get used to it, but then I used it more than any other type of mode of transport. Great for balance, relaxation, and getting some exercise. And carving is so fun!
A back roller, like this: https://www.amazon.com/RumbleRoller-Texture-Massage-Self-Myo... I've had lower back pain for 10 years now. Rolling on top of this for a minute once per day was painful at first but after 4-5 days it felt fine and I've had no back pain since. I believe it realigned my vertebrae. Now I roll once a week or so to keep things aligned.
Sodastream. Has significantly increased the amount of water i drink and conversely decreased other crap being drunk High end ricecooker ended up getting more use than expected. USB KVM style switch to change mouse/kyb over between work and personal device
I just switched to a monitor that has USB-C output and an USB hub. Working: plug display to work laptop Not working: plug display to my laptop A proper USB-C switcher would be nicer, but swapping one cable isn't _that_ hard.
2022: DevonThink - My digital life has never been so well organised. Omnifocus - My task management has never been so well organised. BusyCal - My time management have never been so well organised. Handheld Scientific BT-500 - Allows me to use my mechanical split keyboard wirelessly. So far in 2023: Nebo Notes - Allows me to write long form with Apple Pencil on iPad and convert it all to text afterwards far better th…
It's amazing how apple can't fix this issue, drives me insane. Never occurred to me to buy a bluetooth transmitter, but then why should I?
Stream deck was a surprisingly good buy for me as well, although in 2020. Previously I had a keyboard with a lot of macro keys, but that died and I didn't want to go without the handy shortcuts I've set up. Now I'm using the stream deck for much more than what my keyboard offered. In terms of best buy in 2022 was the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip. For a photographer it's amazing to not have the weight of the camera…
1. Gymnastic rings - cheap, so simple yet so complicated. Magic ancient alien technology from the future (whatever that means) 2. Anki - free, you remember what you want to remember, but you have to RTFM to use it properly. 3. Wax earplugs - cheap. My sleep quality is at least 2x better since using them. 4. Org-mode - free.
- Proper cycling / mountain biking glasses. The amount of air that slips in from the sides with normal glasses can tire your eyes on longer rides or at high speeds. - Safety razor. No longer do I have to buy $30+ cartridge refills but rather 100 packs of blades for ~$10 - A pickleball paddle. The game really is addicting and so far the community has been welcoming.
Pretty happy with it so far. Small learning curve.
