• IINA for video. It’s a VLC alternative that’s much cleaner and mac native
• Homebrew. It’s a terminal package manager. Super useful.
• Magnet for window snapping. macOS has this built in now and there are open source alternatives, but I bought magnet for a few dollars when the alternatives didn’t exist.

As a side note, the default z shell (zsh) should be good enough for you unless you have a specific reason you need bash instead.

In September of 2023, Amazon announced the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition. It looked just like the regular Echo Show 8 smart display/speaker but cost $10 more. Why? Because of its ability to show photos on the home screen for as long as you want—if you signed up for a $2 monthly subscription to Amazon’s PhotosPlus. Now, about a year after releasing the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, Amazon is announcing that it’s discontinuing PhotosPlus. That means Echo Show 8 Photos Edition users will be forced to see ads instead of their beloved pics.
