Uses

This is a collated list of all the software, hardware and office equipment I use on a daily basis

Hardware

I run three computers in parallel. I have a M2 MacBook Pro that I use at my full time job. I also need to be using a Mac of some description in order to create and publish iOS mobile apps, so I have a M4 Mac Mini. I also have a Windows 11 Desktop PC that I mostly use for legacy C#/.NET specific development. Some of this can be done on the MacBook using Mono, but I prefer to code in Windows for these times. The KVM switch comes in really handy here as it allows me to connect the peripherals to a central hub and just click a button to switch between the three of them.
