Uses Adobe Premiere
For video editing, mostly Adobe Premiere, unless it's a very simple job and also I'm working on the MacBook, in which case I'll use Final Cut Pro just because the export time is a little faster.

Uses Kinesis contoured keyboard
For keyboards, most of my typing is done on the MacBook keyboard using just my inner fingers, sometimes a Kinesis contoured keyboard (the weird scoopy one) if my outer fingers aren't being the problem at the moment, and sometimes other keyboards.

Mixed on MacBook Pro
For work I've been using a 15" MacBook Pro for the past year for basic emails, writing, normal video editing, and webVR development with the DK2 or Galaxy Note 4. I was hoping to be converted to Apple, but I'm not in love.

Liked Mac mini
I really like Mac Minis for installations, especially since once we've got the headsets running we can unplug all external keyboards and projectors and everything, and it'll run as a self-contained unit for days on end (or until Apple decides it must interrupt with a request to update).

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
