What I Use: January 2023 (Premium)

It’s been a while since my last look at the hardware, software, and services that I use at home and on the go. But it’s interesting how many things have changed since the “end” of the pandemic.

Computers
When I first started writing What I Use at the SuperSite for Windows many moons ago, my computer setup was the big attraction to these posts, I’d imagine. But these days, things are a bit more fluid. I adopted a More Mobile computing setup in September 2021 and then replicated it in Mexico City in mid-2022 when we bought an apartment there. But in both cases, the actual computers I use change from time to time because I’m using review units for the most part.
Computer setup: Home
My home office setup consists of a laptop of some kind---typically a 14- or 16-inch model---with an Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C Hub, UGREEN USB C Extension Cable, and Anker PowerPort III 65W Pod Lite USB-C charger connected to an HP E27m G4 QHD USB-C Conferencing Monitor, a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse set, a Dell UltraSharp 4K Webcam, and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (Gen 2) USB audio interface. That latter device connects to a Heil PR 40 microphone with PL2T Boom Mount that I use for podcasting.
Computer setup: Mexico City
My setup in Mexico City consists of a laptop of some kind---again, it's usually a 14- or 16-inch model---on a Nexstand Portable Laptop Stand and connected to an HP Thunderbolt Dock G4. That dock is used to connect whatever other peripherals, including the dongle for a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse, Ethernet, an external webcam (if needed), and an Audio-Technica ATR2500x-USB Cardioid Condenser Microphone for podcasting.
PC software
I configure every PC I use nearly identically, and I think of all of the software I use as fitting into one of the three categories.

The apps I pin to my Windows 11 Taskbar and thus use the most often are File Explorer, Brave (web browser), Microsoft Word, MarkdownPad 2, Notepad, Notion, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020, Paint, Microsoft Teams (for work), and Skype.

The apps I use regularly that aren’t on the Taskbar include ImageGlass (image viewing and conversion), Greenshot (screenshots), OneDrive (file sync), and Git (version control for the book).

And then the apps I use less frequently and sometimes only on certain PCs includes Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 (video editing), Visual Studio 2022 (software development), and Visual Studio Code (software development).

I also recently switched to Bitwarden for password management. I use this in Brave, my web browser, and as the autofill service on my iPhone and Pixel phones.
Online services
My Microsoft and Google accounts are my important online identities, and my Apple account is important for purchased content, my Apple devices, and my kids’ iPhone backups.
