The biggest tech revelation for me this year is that I don’t have to rely on Apple that much. I’ve embraced the open waters. I haven’t moved to Android completely (yet?), but I’m a bit of a “two-phones” type of guy now. I dropped the Apple Watch and went with a Whoop + normal watch combo. Apart from my Mac, I got myself a really nice tower PC that I use every day. There’s more to it, too—I had to find multi-platform apps, and I’m happy to say I’m good. Everything works great, and I live happily in this messy ecosystem.

Apparently, I didn’t need so many things I thought were necessities. It’s freeing.
