my beloved devices & dev buddies!
main battle station (built december 2020!)
- ryzen 5 3500x (overclocked to 4.3ghz all-core in november 2025!)
- 16gb ddr4 dual-channel @ 2666mhz (crucial - rip february 2026, you'll be missed)
- rtx 2060 6gb (the one that FINALLY let me play cp77 at good fps!)
- gigabyte b450m h
- thermaltake litepower 750w + versa j23 case
- stock amd cooler (still kicking!)
- storage evolution: started with 2tb seagate barracuda 7200rpm + 240gb kingston a400, upgraded to 500gb samsung 870 evo in june 2022, added 1tb samsung 870 evo in may 2025 for games & heavy i/o (hdd still there!)
- running: nebios (mainly x, various versions as bare-metal or in vm)
laptop buddy (msi gf63 thin 9scr, bought used july 2024!)

lightweight laptop dude (dell latitude 7390, bought september 2025!)
- i5 8350u + intel uhd 620 (low watt champ!)
- 16gb ram (no more crying over tabs!)
- 1tb kioxia exceria plus g3 ssd (fast boi!)
- 13" full hd (crisp, compact, stealthy af)
- quieter than my old macbook air, like ninja mode 🥷
- this eventually replaced the macbook air (months later tho)
- running: nebios (mainly x, various versions as bare-metal or in vm)
the fallen warrior (macbook air 6,2 - 2013-2024, rip)
- i5 4250u, 4gb ram, 128gb ssd, 13" display
- last setup: macos ventura (legacy patcher) + nebios x closed beta
- destroyed in october 2024... had big upgrade plans (512gb/1tb ssd + 2015-2017 logic board for more ram)
- plot twist: staying with linux full-time was actually the best outcome!
phone journey
- samsung galaxy s3 mini (december 2013 - 2015, white) - slow, laggy, couldn't connect to wifi, became e-waste
- iphone 6 16gb (december 2017 - december 2019, gold) - battery health ended at 69%, fast draining but good phone
- iphone 8 plus 64gb (brand new, black) - took great care of it, used until ios 16, battery health was still 80% when upgrading to iphone 12
- iphone 12 128gb (june 2023 - march 2024, white) - could've continued using but decided to switch to android
- nothing phone (1) 256gb ufs, 8gb ram (march 2024 - now, black) - chose after considering pinephone, fairphone, volla phone but nothing was the only one with proper tr sales/service
- nothing os 1-3 (android 12-15) - nothing os 4 won't come to np1, android 15 is final update
- occasionally lags (android's java/dalvik/art architecture - nebios mobile will fix this with python/c++/c!), battery needs 2-3 charges daily
- will be used for nebios mobile development
- future upgrade: nothing phone 3 (flagship first, then maybe 3a/3a pro, never 3a lite!)
keyboard & mouse evolution
- before 2021: cheap brands that got destroyed from rage... oops
- may 2021 - may 2023: logitech g213 prodigy + g203 lightsync (both black, super solid!)
- may 2023 - december 2025: logitech mx keys full-size (with numpad!) + mx anywhere 3 (not 3s!)
- december 2025 - now: akko 5075b plus (white, custom pbt keycaps, ansi us english layout - MY FIRST ANSI!) + logitech g305 wireless
audio gear
- november 2022 - september 2024: airpods 3
- september 2024 - now: nothing ear (2) (crystal clear sound!)
my smol army of dev kits!
- 2x raspberry pi 4 (2gb and 8gb besties)
- 1x raspberry pi 5 (8gb powerhouse!)
- steam deck (256gb + 256gb sd card) - dual boot with nebios x + steamos (didn't vibe with steamos alone)
display
- lg 22" 75hz ips (not fancy but gets the job done!)
retired warriors (the computers that came before)
- asus tp300lj (june 2016 - late 2024): i3 5005u, 4gb ddr3, hd 5500 + geforce 920m 2gb, 500gb hdd - struggled hard, eventually scrapped
- hp pavilion power 15-cb0xx (august 2019 - august 2022): i7 7700hq, 16gb ram, gtx 1050 4gb (not ti! laptop 1050 came in both 2gb and 4gb, desktop only had 2gb), 1tb hdd + 480gb ssd (added june 2022) - ran everything from cyberpunk 2077 to hackintosh builds, eventually confiscated
fun fact: no consoles here because... well... they kinda suck? KSJDKSJD
extra fun fact: nebios runs on basically everything i own. freedom is EVERYTHING!
