My goal is simple: to improve the personal computers we use in our daily lives, and our relationship with them.
we all have too much on our plates and on our mind at any one time. your computer breaking or losing your files should not be a concern, your PC should just work, and if it needs fixing, you shouldn’t have to stress about it and just know that it will be fixed properly and promptly. here are a few things I do to help facilitate that
PCs can take on more shapes and sizes than you might think. While these services and products are aimed at personal computers for the home or casual user, there is still a great deal of intentional thought that can shape the personal computer into a better fit for you and your use case.
Mental bandwidth is just as limited as any other commodity, after all. Why waste it on worrying about a personal computer, when such a powerful and multipurpose tool should be maintained as something you can depend and rely on.
Attention to Specifications:
Both the specifications of the hardware, and the specifications of you, the end user.
Current Market Breakthroughs:
Not only paying attention to the latest standards and technologies hitting the market, but being able to cut through marketing BS, and being honest about the real world performance differences. Additionally, looking at how interactions change between version numbers, downsides to upgrading to the latest update, and whether other vendors and manufacturers will even make use of newest developments in their own products.
Commitment to quality parts and quality builds:
Neat; good, clean cable management.
Efficient; not taking more power, money, or frustration than is needed, functioning optimally and sustainably
