~~I regularly get messages asking about specific things I use.~~ Nobody has asked me what I use. Ever. But here's a list of my daily requirements anyways, mostly revolving around my Apple sheep-ness. Inspired by [many, many others](https://uses.tech/). 😊
{{< image src="images/desktop.png" alt="My mess of a desktop." />}}
## 🍎&nbsp; Hardware {#hardware}
- [**MacBook Pro 15"** (Mid-2018)](https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1074682)

- [**Powerbeats<sup>3</sup> Wireless**](https://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/powerbeats3-wireless) (in the pretty rad [Pop Indigo](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MREQ2LL/A/powerbeats3-wireless-earphones-beats-pop-collection-pop-indigo) color)
- I also have incredibly weird ears, apparently, so my AirPods went right back to the store when they came out. 😢
- ...but these are a great alternative with the [same pairing and continuity features](https://www.soundguys.com/how-does-apple-w1-chip-work-21049/) between all of my 🍎 devices.

## ☁️&nbsp; Cloud {#cloud}
I've been making recent efforts to [de-Google](https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/) my life, with mixed results...
- ~~Gmail~~ → [**Fastmail**](https://www.fastmail.com/) [(referral link)](https://ref.fm/u20274504)
- ~~Google Drive~~ → [~~Dropbox~~](https://www.dropbox.com/) → [**iCloud Drive**](https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive)

- ~~Google Docs~~ → [**Microsoft Office**](https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/microsoft-office-for-mac) (hey, it works 🤷)
- ~~Google Photos~~ → [**iCloud Photos**](https://www.icloud.com/photos/)
- ~~Google DNS~~ → [**Cloudflare 1.1.1.1**](https://1.1.1.1/)
- ~~Google Analytics~~ → both of these are awesome, privacy-aware "visitor counters" rather than trackers:
- [**Netlify Analytics**](https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics/) [(my review)](/notes/netlify-analytics-review/)
- [**Simple Analytics**](https://simpleanalytics.com/) [(referral link)](https://referral.simpleanalytics.com/jake-jarvis)

- [**Philips Hue**](https://www2.meethue.com/en-us) — color bulbs, dimmer switches, etc.
- 2x [**Sonos One**](https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/one.html) (with Alexa turned off...allegedly.)
