Workspace
This has built up over time, with trial and error and plenty selling things on eBay that didn't work for me.
- Apple MacBook Air M3 1TB 24GB
- LG 32" 4K monitor
- LG 27" monitor sideways
- Canon T5i and Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens with Elgato Cam Link 4K and dummy battery

- Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

- AirPods Pro 2nd generation
- Anker wireless charger (for phone, watch, and AirPods)
- Dreo fan remote (fan sits to the side)
- Desktop power grommet

The lights and camera are connected to a Meross HomeKit surge strip so I can turn everything on and off a keyboard command or tap of the NFC sticker.
All of the mounting for monitors, camera, microphone, and lights are a variety of WALI parts.
Defaults
These are the applications I use.
Slashpages says this “defaults” concept came from a Hemispheric Views podcast episode. A directory lists defaults pages that others have created.
