Technically speaking…

In the event that you are not aware, I have a technical blog where I share many of my tech projects, investigative blogs, and otherwise too tech for here posts. Here is the address: Technical Paradise.

So, somethings that I do that some may find odd is: All of my devices all have the same background photo. I used to use my own photography but recently, I just find cool wallpaper on the web and use it. But, it goes further than that. I also have the same icons (or lack thereof) on the desktop no matter the OS.

iMac Desktop
MacBook Pro Desktop

There are some differences in the applications on the dock as not everything I have on the iMac will run effectively on a laptop. But essentially, it is the same. Check out my mission control. All of the same main apps are running, the same backgrounds on the different spaces and are in the same order.

Below are my Windows 10 Desktops… Am I boring or OCD?

Gaming PC Desktop
Dell Laptop Desktop

The only differences here is that the gaming desktop has an additional icon on the taskbar for MSI Afterburner for GPU overclocking and the Dell laptop has the battery icon in the system tray.

I have Windows 10 running in BootCamp on both of my Apple Macs. I have my reasons, but the desktops look just like these above.

MacBook Pro Windows 10 Desktop

Again, the only real difference here is the battery icon in the system tray.

I don’t often use my Windows installs on my Apple Macs, but they do come in handy from time-to-time. It’s funny, but I have more Windows installs at home now than macOS installs, but I use macOS 10x more than my Windows installs. I am more comfortable in macOS, but I acknowledge that Windows 10 isn’t all that bad…

Very useful Video

For my taskbar and my clock, I used tips from the above video to “modernize” Windows 10. There are many useful tips in this video. I use the same date and time format as my Macs because that is what I am used to seeing, but the clock app I used is highly customizable.

So, there you go…. am I really OCD or like stability? Am I the only one who does this? Donno.

Just for good measure … … …
