<p>Honestly seeing what apple does and how they are managing this need to be compliant with European law is just making me consider becoming more system-agnostic (and in the end - probably less apple dependant). Now its definitely a good thing that Ive bought PC. Considering a Pixel phone is - I think - a step in right direction too, unfortunately. Great job Apple!</p>

<p>Uh, new Nothing Phone (2a) comes out to 1449 pln (about $365). It&rsquo;s MUCH LESS than Pixel and just enough for me to consider it to have as a toy with Android&hellip; Wife tells me to just get Pixel 8 but this 2a is like 50% cheaper and - in this case of getting an Android phone to fuck around and find out - I like cheaper.</p>

<div class="e-content">
<p>A couple of months ago, I posted <a href="https://pawel.orzech.me/2023/11/07/my-defaults.html">My Defaults</a> and <a href="https://pawel.orzech.me/2023/11/24/my-software-edc.html">My Software EDC</a>, but that was when I was in an Apple-only ecosystem. Since then, I&rsquo;ve bought my first PC in 15 years that I love and adore and use every day. There&rsquo;s no way I&rsquo;m going to ditch my MacBook Air for something that has Windows on it (Apple machines are of better quality and I love macOS on laptops), but I think on desktop, Windows is working actually really, really well.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with the defaults first, and then I&rsquo;m going to provide you with some more content regarding my software EDC because that has to change a lot since I&rsquo;m on Windows more than I&rsquo;m on macOS.</p>
<p>📨 Mail Client: I use <a href="https://ref.fm/u26294944">Fastmail</a> for personal use and Gmail for work. Therefore, on iOS, I use mail.app + Gmail, on macOS I use browsers only, and on Windows, I use a browser only too.</p>
<p>📮 Mail Server: <a href="https://ref.fm/u26294944">Fastmail</a> for personal use, Google for Work.</p>
<p>📝 Notes: Obsidian and Tot for quick notes, but I&rsquo;m moving my quick notes more and more to&hellip;</p>
<p>✅ To-Do: Microsoft To Do! It&rsquo;s quick, easy, multi-platform, and costs nothing. It isn&rsquo;t Things, but it works pretty well for me. For work, I&rsquo;m using <a href="https://web.akiflow.com/referral?name=UGF3ZcWC&amp;referral=6mu9V2AT6nyosiOc">Akiflow</a> because it combines tasks with a calendar.</p>
<p>📷 iPhone Photo Shooting: Camera.app, but I&rsquo;m using Canon G5X Mark II and Sony A6000 for photography more.</p>
<p>🟦 Photo Management: Lightroom + Photos in iCloud.</p>
<p>📆 Calendar: Calendar on iOS, Akiflow on Windows and Mac.</p>
<p>📁 Cloud File Storage: iCloud + Backblaze B2.</p>
<p>📖 RSS: <a href="https://rss.wspanialy.eu/">FreshRSS</a> + Reeder on iOS/Mac and browser/Fluent Reader for Windows. I&rsquo;m trying to use Fluent Reader, but my brain doesn&rsquo;t work the way Fluent Reader works, so I&rsquo;m using the iPhone more for RSS.</p>
<p>🙍🏻‍♂️ Contacts: Contacts.</p>
<p>🌐 Browser: Arc isn&rsquo;t yet available for Windows (at least for me), so I&rsquo;m using Arc Search on iOS, and then Microsoft Edge for personal browsing on macOS + Windows and Chrome for work.</p>
<p>💬 Chat: Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Slack.</p>
<p>🔖 Bookmarks: Browser.</p>
<p>📑 Read It Later: Good Links, but since it&rsquo;s not on Windows, I&rsquo;m going to have to find some alternatives (I&rsquo;m not really reading the stuff I&rsquo;m putting there, so maybe I just shouldn&rsquo;t bother).</p>
<p>📜 Word Processing: Obsidian.</p>
<p>🤖 Mastodon: Ivory on Apple-things and browser on Windows.</p>
<p>📖 Blog: micro.blog and Day One.</p>
<p>📈 Spreadsheets: Google Thing.</p>
<p>📊 Presentations: Google Thing.</p>
<p>🛒 Shopping Lists: My wife and I just send each other messages about what to get.</p>
<p>💰 Budgeting and Personal Finance: <a href="https://ynab.com/referral/?ref=Alk7CK4fFO4dLo0p">YNAB</a>.</p>
<p>🎵 Music: Spotify (but I do have an Apple Music sub that&rsquo;s just there).</p>
<p>🎤 Podcasts: Pocket Casts.</p>
<p>🎮 Gaming: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Anbernic RG35XX.</p>
<p>🔐 Password Management: 1Password.</p>
<p>👨🏻‍💻 Terminal: WebSSH on iOS/macOS and Hyper on Windows.</p>
<p>Now onto my software EDC:
<!-- raw HTML omitted --></p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with the first custom thing here because the rest of it isn&rsquo;t interesting.</p>
<ol>
<li>qbittorent - for my Linux-distribution-downloading needs.</li>
<li>1Password.</li>
<li>Hyper - my terminal of choice for Windows.</li>
<li>Edge - personal browser.</li>
<li>Obsidian.</li>
<li>Sticky Notes - I find myself using them sometimes, so I find it handy to have them there.</li>
<li>Apple Music.</li>
<li>Spotify.</li>
<li>Pocket Casts.</li>
<li>Microsoft To Do.</li>
<li>Apple TV app - no idea why but hey, it&rsquo;s here.</li>
<li>Amazon Prime Video - I haven&rsquo;t ever used it, but I thought to myself why not.</li>
<li>Raindrop - oh, that&rsquo;s the app I&rsquo;m trying for bookmarks and read later! I&rsquo;m not using it, though, not at all.</li>
<li>Fluent Reader - RSS reader with FreshRSS support.</li>
<li>Element - Not really using that, but if I ever want to, it&rsquo;s here.</li>
<li>Discord - some friends are using that and the game I&rsquo;m playing (<a href="https://www.torn.com/2362436">Torn</a>) moved from Torn&rsquo;s chat onto Discord.</li>
<li>Signal.</li>
<li>Telegram.</li>
<li>WhatsApp.</li>
<li>Parsify is a calculator that works just like Soulver on macOS worked, I love it.</li>
<li>Chatbox is my ChatGPT app of choice, works perfectly fine - better than any apps I&rsquo;ve found on macOS!</li>
<li>Slack.</li>
<li>Akiflow.</li>
<li>Gmail somehow turned into an app.</li>
<li>Chrome.</li>
<li>RePOS App (the thing I&rsquo;m working on in my day job).</li>
<li>Twitch streaming app (I&rsquo;m not streaming, yet!).</li>
<li>Epic Games Launcher.</li>
<li>Steam Launcher.</li>
<li>Minecraft Launcher.</li>
<li>Xbox App.</li>
</ol>
<p>The things that you weren&rsquo;t able to see but they are here:</p>
<ol>
<li>Flameshot for screenshots - I wish there was Cleanshot X for Windows, but there isn&rsquo;t, so I&rsquo;m using that instead.</li>
<li>Adobe Creative Cloud - Lightroom + Photoshop. I&rsquo;ve got it, I&rsquo;m using it most days, didn&rsquo;t bother to put it in the taskbar, though.</li>
<li>NextDNS is always open and in use.</li>
<li>Hurl is the app I&rsquo;m using to always give me an option to pick which browser I should use. As I said, I&rsquo;m using Chrome for Work and Edge for personal, so whenever I&rsquo;m opening a link on Slack or Telegram, it asks me which browser should it be opened with. I think there&rsquo;s a way to make it automatic to open links from Slack always with Chrome, but I&rsquo;m not bothered by that (sometimes I&rsquo;m using Edge for links from Slack, so let&rsquo;s say this is a desired behavior).</li>
<li>Tailscale is my VPN of choice to connect with all of my different servers.</li>
</ol>
<p>That&rsquo;s it - my defaults and EDC in one long entry. I hope that makes it easier for people to see what apps they could use, especially when they&rsquo;re on Windows. If you have any questions or recommendations, just shout!</p>

<p>One day I&rsquo;m gonna come back with my defaults and my software EDC now that I&rsquo;m on Windows because being on Mac is easy - you just use Apple stuff or the same apps that are on Mac and on iOS but adding Windows to the mix - that makes things interesting!</p>
