Recently my MacBook Pro mysteriously died overnight. Due to the current epidemic situation, I figured the best option at the moment is to purchase a new one. So, here comes a brand new 16-inch MacBook Pro. I never use Time Machine or iCloud for backup, so now is a great opportunity to document my setup process for a new machine. The applications and programs I would install reflect my day-to-day workflow. Some of these are for my classes and research; some are for general software development; and some are just for working efficiently with a MacBook.
- Amphetamine: get it from App Store; it keeps Mac from automatically go to sleep
- Spectrum: get it from App Store; I occasionally use it for web color design
- Slack: get it from App Store and sign in via email
- Kindle: get it from App Store and sign in through Amazon account
