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
- 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 may be the best laptop I’ve ever owned. Therefore, it is my current daily driver.
I did buy a Framework 13, though, and I will eventually switch to this more powerful and future-proof machine.
