I know this sounds like a small thing, but it matters. Bus圜al does this right and just gives you a properties pane in the same window. In Calendar and Fantastical, when you click on an event and want to edit it, you get a stupid popup. But Bus圜al does one thing right that both these other fail on, which is how event editing works. I used to use Apple’s Calendar, and for several years used Fanstastical. Also, if you use Mail, you should check out the super-useful msgFiler and SpamSieve. Every once in a while I think about trying something else but it just seems like too much work.

I probably use Excel more, though, because Numbers does two things particularly badly: you can only sort full rows (it treats each row as a unitary record), and exporting to text is awful. As far as I can tell, there’s no good answer here.

They’re a little flaky, though, and sometimes the Mac can’t seem to see them and anything attached to them. Optical audio out is the reason I chose this brand. Since machines no longer have reasonable port selections, I have one of these at work and one at home. At both work and home, I have an OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock, though I have an older model than the one they sell now.Also still using Griffin PowerMate for media stuff (volume control, play/pause), but they don’t make these anymore.Unfortunately, this is probably the best piece of hardware Apple makes. As my pointing device, I use Apple Magic Trackpad 2.However, the key caps are wearing off, which is kind of a bummer. Great action, love the Cherry MX Clear switches.

My keyboard of choice is still the CODE keyboard.Peripherals and tweaks that seem worthwhile:

Desktop is an iMac Pro and laptop is a recent MacBook Pro with the useless and stupid touch bar and 4 USB-C ports but nothing else. I spend probably eight hours a day in front of a computer or a mobile device, so I’m pretty invested and this is a long list, broken in to multiple categories.ĭespite all previous ranting, still using Apple hardware. I’m kind of a junkie for this kind of thing, and people ask me this question periodically, and I haven’t updated in a while and things have definitely changed. Every few years, I write up what hardware/software I use.
