It seems to me that about 10-15 years ago, laptop stickers were a little more like patches on a punk jacket; that is, they were meant to show something about the cons or competitions you have participated in. A few such places would give out stickers. At some point, people saw the cool-looking stickered-up laptops and thought they would also look cool and put fun stickers on their laptops to show that they also can g…

Same is true of tattoos. Having a tattoo at all used to be a signal of it's own somewhat regardless of what that tattoo was - not so much anymore

Shameless plug for those who still need more stickers for their laptop: ssh stickr.shop

Do you publish the SSH key? Feels odd to order if I can't authenticate the connection.

We do: https://stickr.shop/sshkey

But of course we should also link there from the homepage! Thanks for the hint!

Some pen test teams use laptop stickers as an excellent resource for proper social engineering. Some cyber companies explicitly prohibit stickers on company laptops.

I used to put stickers on my work laptop. Then one day I upgraded my laptop, which meant handing over my old one with stickers. Which meant scrubbing it (there's no reason I'll let whoever receives it to scrub it for me) Which was an absolute pain. I don't put stickers on my laptops anymore.

I never put on stickers (except the Stain Javelin) on my laptop. It may be just me, but if feels messy to me.

My laptop has stickers, one of which is a photo of my previous laptop and its stickers. One of those is a photo of the laptop before that…

I love this... I haven't had the courage to "spend" my sticker collection on my current laptop, as they obviously don't last forever. A solution could be to photograph the old cover, and print it as a full-size sticker as a starting point for the next laptop!
