Lemokey US vs. Keychron DE. Same product, same company, same shipping origin, very different prices. More companies are stealthily doing this.

Impressionado com o quão EXCELENTES os produtos da UGREEN são. A China está deixando de lado a imagem de produtora de bugigangas sem qualidade.

Cenas dos próximos capítulos no meu setup:

My last profile is for Vivaldi, and it's just my most used sites, nothing spectacular to it.

On the second page, there's some fanciness. I have shortcuts for my preferred playlists. Creating this was a bit of a discovery, but it's basically shortcuts I created with the Shortcuts app, to open the albums, and then I right-click the shortcut and select "add to dock". This creates an app!

For the Apple Music profile, I just use options the plugin make available, nothing fancy (yet):

All those profiles have a "home" button that takes me back to my default profile. The rest are options I want to use while watching videos (mostly YouTube):

- Buttons to go back or advance 10 seconds (it's just a Hotkey action for the left and right arrows, it requires focus in the window to work)

On my Profiles folder, I have some other profiles I created to make my life easier (we will explore them).

The Apps folder is not that special, has just the apps I use the most on my personal Mac. It also has a duplicate Center Window command, because I use it a lot and want to adjust app windows as soon as I open them.

The second page is not that interesting and I'm considering removing it. It has Some timers (that I never use) as well as brightness controls for the Stream Deck, and an option for Sleep.

On my Default Profile, I have the following shortcuts on the first page:

- A folder for my apps
- Another folder for my profiles
- Weather forecast for my current city, as well as the forecast for the next days, and the forecast for my hometown
- A shorcut for the emojis app on Mac

First of all, I want to cover the list of plugins and icon packs I have installed:

I use the Apple Music and Weather plugins. The others are unused at the moment.

The icon packs I got from the marketplace: Neon Grids, Anaglyph, Entypo+, Hexaza, Animated GIF Pack, and WaveLink.

This is the Stream Deck app, showing my Default Profile (the "front page" of your Stream Deck). I'll describe what each option does, don't worry.

At the top, you can click the colored icon to access the marketplace, where you can download plugins, icons, and pre-configured profiles.

The model I got was the Stream Deck Neo, which is costing € 99 at the time I write this.

How I use the Stream Deck as a non-streamer (because there are normal people who appreciate devices with fancy buttons, too).

Quando a tecnologia que deveria tornar engenheiros mais produtivos é divulgada como uma forma de antagonizá-los, a reação geral é essa (de um fórum de engenheiros)

A trip to the store, a cable through the wall, and four hours later, all my Deco devices are working over Ethernet! It was so worth it.
