If anyone's really into "setups", I'd highly recommend checking out usesthis.com. There's some great discussion on why people like certain tools, and some high-profile people on there from all walks of tech life (writers, podcasters, musicians, mechanical engineers). Here's a few of my favorites: Aaron Schwartz: https://usesthis.com/interviews/aaron.swartz/ Mike Hoye (Mozilla): https://usesthis.com/interviews/mhoye/…

You can't really see it in my article there, I use a rolling cart with my laptops (Apple or Xiaomi depending): https://i.imgur.com/0OB23tw.jpg Better look: https://i.imgur.com/ydgpMus.jpg I avoid having a desk surface because it just gets overwhelmed with crap. This way I can't just set things down- they need to be put somewhere. Also I can move it out of the way for shooting YouTube videos, roll near the window when…

iOS includes it by default.

It disappoints me that there apparently isn't an option on iOS to track photo location using some scheme other than EXIF.

It is crazy that we have some trade war and xenophobia going on at the moment, I think your channel and comments here are helpful in challenging assumptions commonly held in the West. I have a rig like yours with a hospital style adjustable height table that has wheels and can be used in a bed (if need be) to pile the junk on.

It’s interesting to see that’s there are not so much systems with ergonomic keyboards mice... Are people underestimate importance of that?
