Hardware

Laptop: work M1 MacBook Pro
Monitor: 34 inch Ultragear QHD (3440 x 1440) curved monitor
Desktop: 2022 Discord issued NZXT BLD PC (discontinued). It’s been pretty fun. Great CPU and GPU but I’ve only used it for building Raspberry Pi Pico W software. I compared C executable build times to Raspberry Pi 4B and it was a minute on the PC vs an hour on the RPi.
Desktop GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
Desktop CPU: Intel Core i9 11900KF
Nice little KVM to switch between my MacBook and PC: GREATHTEK
Desktop Mount: Eureka Ergonomic under desk mount. This thing is cool as hell and it fit perfectly.
Keyboard: Ducky One 3 Pure White Hotswap RGB Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Red). Keys bounce! Don’t buy it. It’s very fun otherwise.
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder V2 Gaming Mouse. Truly stupid but here we are.
Mesh router: ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System. I do not recommend it. Wirecutter is wrong. Buggy for my home IoT situation. Reboots are needed too frequently.
DNS: Pihole on Raspberry Pi 4B

Desktop OS: Windows 11 :(
Home automation hub: Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi 4B
Home automation MQTT broker: FastAPI MQTT server on Raspberry Pi 4B
Home network speed monitoring: InfluxDB backed Grafana dashboard of speedtest.net calls. I caught a massive degredation of ISP service in 2024 using this.
