Stuff I Use

I enjoy combing through other people’s /uses/ pages. Here is my collection of things I enjoy using day-to-day.

Computing

• Framework 13
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840U (8-core) @ 5.1GHz
  • Memory: 32GB
  • Storage: 1TB SSD
  • OS: Arch Linux
• ThinkPad X230
  • CPU: Intel i5-3320M (4) @ 3.300GHz
  • Memory: 16GB
  • Storage: 256GB SSD
  • OS: Fedora Linux

My trusty X230 is built like a tank, has a ton of I/O ports (the VGA port saved a whole week of workshops for me and my client once), and all the computing power I need for my work. Although it is ~10 years old, it is one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned.

However, my current daily driver is the Framework 13, which is a real powerhouse backed by an unprecedented belief in repairability and sustainability.

• The Travel Backpack Original by Wayks, that travelled Thailand with me for three weeks and could very well be the last travel backpack I’ve ever purchased.
