Personal Toolbox (Updated July 29, 2024)
Preface
Note: Developing an Astro website for this yu-tools project —— "tools.pseudoyu.com".
I have always been a tool control, and I have always believed in the concept of "If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your tools". I have always been trying to find the best solution for a specific need of my own. Now I have gradually found the solution that suits my usage habits. Due to work, study and personal interests, the equipment has undergone many iterations, and records will be made at this time node and will be updated continuously in the future. I hope it can provide some reference for others.
Note: All software services mentioned below are educational authorizations for purchases/subscriptions or student qualifications. Please support the authentic version!
Main equipment
Computers and accessories
- Apple Mac Studio (2022), M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 1T SSD , main computer at home, the epidemic at home improves the happiness of work and study
- Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023) Silver, M2 Max, 64GB RAM, 1T SSD , because I went out more, I still used the company's equipment allowance to add 14 inches, which is indeed much smaller than the 16 taking it out.
- Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) Silver, 2.4 GHz Octa-core Intel Core i9, 32GB RAM, 2T SSD ,
Use it at high frequency, basically you will carry it everywhere you go, and use it on the company's external display screen , originally used at high frequency, but later because of Intel's battery life and cooling, it was a bit painful. After updating the M chip, it was idle and put it at home to connect a monitor. - Google Pixelbook Go Black, Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB Storage ,
Recently, I planned to transfer my amateur learning projects and Crypto-related projects to the thin client development model.

The Raspberry Pi that I tossed a few years ago has been sent recently. Now it is used as a development machine. , the configuration is a bit old, basically it is used as a decoration, so I have considered whether to enter the 4b series - Dell U2720Q 4K monitor has added another monitor.

I have always wanted to experience it. , it's still a little unused, and there may not be much demand for online collaboration- Heptabase , a whiteboard notes application that I recently started trying,
Very surprised , In fact, it has been used for almost a year, but I still feel it is too heavy and I don't plan to renew it

- iTerm2 has been used before, but is now mainly used to cut multiple servers.
As the main terminal - Warp , a newly tried terminal written by Rust, has a great experience.

I have obtained the test qualification for Mac App version, and the interface is really good. , try it out, the main force is RapidAPI Postman , the interface debugging tool I used to use, but the interface is too complicated and the reaction is a bit slow, so I deprecated it
- Document viewing: Dash , it is very convenient to check documents with Alfred
- container
- Orb Stack , after a while, I replaced all the following with Orb Stack. It is very stable and the interface is also very good.
- Colima ,
A container tool that manages containers in the form of a command line, which is convenient and takes up less resources , completely replaced by Orb Stack - Docker Desktop ,

- Final Cut Pro X , I bought a family bucket for a discount at that time, and moved from PR to FCPX as the main editing tool, and experienced much better on macOS than PR.
- Davince Resolve , I learned a little before, but I mainly use FCPX. If you learn it again, the free version will be almost the same.
- Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 , I used PR for three or four years and transferred to FCPX, but it is not bad to keep it occasionally to deal with some complexity.
- Adobe After Effect 2023 , I haven't learned it clearly yet. I really wanted to do special effects when I was a bachelor's degree, but I didn't study it well
- Adobe Media Encoder 2023 , this is really useful. When PR suppressed a bunch of videos, it all depends on this.
- Adobe Audition 2023 , there are indeed no good audio processing tools on Mac. Logic Pro feels a bit underused and has a bit of complexity. Is it better to do some basic sound processing AUs?
- The Chuangying Professional Edition has a powerful function of speech recognition and intelligent matching subtitles. Version 3.0 also supports exporting the
.srt format. Then, it is transferred back to FCPX-compatible subtitle format through an open source srt2fcpxml tool. It can simplify the subtitle production workflow and no longer have to adjust the timeline by yourself. - Compressor , the main suppression tool, can be easily exported in a link with FCPX.

? Picture processing
