un-mounting a hard drive is a multi-step process of finding the drive then dragging it to the trash or pressing a key combo to eject it

Can't you just right-click the drive on the desktop and then eject it from there? The "Quit Blocking Apps" feature seems pretty nice though, as I've had plenty of trouble with that in the past.

I'm surprised you didn't mention f.lux, as I really take it for granted now. Removing blue light from the screen (especially at night) is something I definitely need to be doing, considering my eyes are already wrecked.

Backblaze is also set to back up continuously on top of Time Machine because I'm awful at consistently taking backups, and it's nice to have backups in two places in case, I don't know, my house burns down, or something like that.

I used to use f.lux but MacOS adopted a feature called Night Shift that does the same thing!
System Preferences > Displays > Night Shift

I used to use Backblaze but (1) I'm currently too cheap to pay the subscription and (2) I back up to both iCloud and an external hard drive so I'm covered...
