I loved to organize things. I would scan all the receipts I had in my wallet, add a date stamp and save that to a folder. I loved computers as well, and I could afford them, so I would buy a new laptop every other year. Windows - MSI GS 73VR (bought in New York) - 17 inches, too large and heavy. I was still on my gaming arc here - Surface Book 2 (bought in Singapore) - I gave this away to MZ's sister Nee Zhen - Lenovo X1C7 (imported this from B&H New York) - Custom PC (Windows) Mac OS - Macbook Air Intel (bought online, right before the M series chips came out) - Macbook Pro M1 / 32GB / 2TB - Mac Mini M1 - Macbook Air M2 / 16GB / 500GB In between I also bought 2 Raspberry Pis. I was never any good with the hardware stuff so I tinkered with installing custom OSes, Ubuntu, !PopOS, Kali. I **never deleted** any files or objects - I felt more secure if I had accumulated more and more files. Most of the files were in PDF format, so I figured if I added all of them to a single Google Drive and made my repository as large as possible, it would make it dead simple and easy to find what I needed (PDF OCR). Fast forward to 2025, my philosophy has changed to *take only what you need*. There is abundance everywhere - our task is to curate only what is necessary. No one is going to own more data than the large tech enterprises, and intelligence built on the largest data collections is just an API call away.
