There is two changes that had a surprisingly large impact on the perceived flow and effectiveness of my daily work:
1. Ditching notebooks for fast desktops
2. Replacing wireless connectivity (esp. networking) wherever possible.
- tokamak-teapot 6y agoI’ve been doing the same. I’ve recently replaced the following: * Macbook wifi -> wired Ethernet * Apple Bluetooth trackpad -> wired mouse * Apple Bluetooth keyboard -> wired * Bluetooth / Logitech 2.4Ghz mouse -> wired The one problem this hasn’t fixed is keyboard connection to the MacBook. I still have to unplug the USB cable from the (Anker) hub and plug it back in again whenever the MacBook has been asleep. It’s better than forcing a re-pairing of Apple’s own keyboards (yes I’ve had two) with their laptop every day or two though.
- floatboth 6y agoWhy would you get rid of the Logitech 2.4ghz mouse? These are great (well, the gaming mice), absolutely no difference in performance vs wired, no pairing required..
- tokamak-teapot 6y agoI'd sometimes have to remove the dongle and re-insert it for it to be recognised (again) by the OS. When I used it via bluetooth it would keep failing to connect and need manual deletion from the list of paired devices and re-adding. Also its dongle seemed to interfere with my wireless Apple keyboard. Not sure but it seemed to correlate a few times. It's much better with its own dongle, yes, but ... I got sick of the occasional issues. No issues with a wired mouse.
- Marsymars 6y agoExperience might be different depending on OS. On macOS, my Logitech mouse would regularly forget its settings, forcing me to reload the profile I’d saved in the software.
