My setup details

[ thoughts ]

- i got the 16 pro max for the camera but found myself not really taking pictures with that, so got an actual camera instead. so might not get a phone this expensive in the future.

- tried the dumbphone thing but i cannot get along without gps and banking apps.

- i really want to try out an hhkb keyboard but don't want to spend that much on a keyboard so i'm using a cheap logitech wireless laptop-style keyboard.

- had a steam deck before, but i sold it because of the size. i played mostly at home with that.

- have a dilemma with music subscription, thinking about getting an ipod, but i feel like it would be a thing for like a month and would get back to streaming. i used spotify but got rid of it because of the ai slop and the distracted home page. now using apple music but listening to a very few albums. now enjoying aphex twin's ambient tracks, breakcore and m jackson.

- i have a few journals but don't stress to write there everyday. i do it when i feel like it and that has been the greatest for me. sometimes i don't even look at it for 2 weeks, sometimes i have a 5-day streak.
