Alfred app for Mac. It is kind of a spotlight replacement for Mac but so much more. Think of it as turning your machine into productivity powerhouse where you are using the keyboard to access everything very quickly instead of wasting your time clicking around with the mouse. It is like a Swiss army knife where even just one of its features is a whole app for other people. I use it all day everyday for the past decade. And I keep adding to it new workflows or discovering new features. It is the app that is a million apps in one.

Standing desk (electric, not crank operated) + tiny under-desk stationary bike. Sitting the whole day working/gaming and still getting to do some physical activity is great.
3D printer (I've got Prusa MK4+MMU3). It's an amazing versatile utility, great skill to have, and a fun hobby. Don't buy cheap chinese clones, it's not worth the hassle.
My AirPods Max
I commute daily on the central line in London at an extremely busy part and loud part and I’d go absolutely fucking mental if I had to listen to it all daily.
That noise cancellation is worth the absurd price it’s the 2h in my day where I can just completely zone out and not think.
Dyson stick vacuum - vacuuming went from a chore to a simple, almost enjoyable task.
Snowcaster Snowblade - For 2-3 inches of snow max but when using it you will question reality as your back feels nothing.
- New bed for me and fiancée. Locally made and great quality.
- My first coffee grinder. Got me into coffee and it has been amazing.
- Latest pc upgrade was great, getting so much more out of it now.
- e-reader (kobo) though I still read often from phone screen.
- Our two cats. Cost basically nothing because both are rescue cats but they give so much.
- First batch of liquid fertilisers and a bucket got me into hydroponics. So much fun to grow stuff!
Next big thing is probably going to be 3D printer. I know I'll love it (been doing some at work) but haven't pulled the plug yet.
Electric toothbrush.
Invest in your teeth. Trust me.
In 2008 after years of being an hardcore Apple hater I had to install macOS on my Dell PC because of that nightmare of Vista (this a very long story so I’ll just cut to the end)
I discovered an all new world of “shit just works”, found piece of mind and started making money.
Bought my first Mac in 2010 and never went back. I also have P400 and a portable Lenovo running Pop_OS and Sway, because that’s part of the story too.
Refurb 13” 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. Best computer I’ve ever owned - it’s been my daily driver for two years and it’s Beena joy every day.
Good áss socks, life is too short to wear crappy socks
I have never heard of underwear being called ass socks.

Honestly, my current car. It's a tiny old rusty beat up car from 1990 that I got for around 650€ 3 years ago. It uses around 5L/100km and in total I've only spent around 200€ in parts for it and it just keeps going. It's old enough so that I only have to do inspection every 2 years (instead of every year on newer cars), don't have to pay road tax, and insurance is around 11€/month. It gets me where I need to go and is dirt cheap to own. Definitely a money saver for me.
