    I haven't tried it but I too was intrigued by that thread and added it to my list of things to try. It seems like the risks are relatively minimal. What NIR light are you consideri…

    What will you do when your 2015 MBP gets too old? Are you hopeful that they'll get back to a more developer friendly laptop with functioning keyboard, etc? I ask because I'm encoun…
