I didn't have the heart to make something like this on my M2 Air so I did a new edge to 3D-print and attach to the edge. Works really well and have lasted more than 3 years to this date. https://makerworld.com/models/1356464

#162There's a spelling mistake in the first paragraph. The expression is "lo and behold", and not "low and behold". Lo is an old English interjection for expressing surprise.
Amusingly, I've come to appreciate grammar and spelling mistakes in blog posts, as they hint the text wasn't written with AI

#165Used just 3 things - 1 debur tool, a 600 grit sandpaper & another 2000 grit sandpaper while still reading this thread. Totally worth it, and instant improvement in my quality of life. And it took me less than 5 minutes. Thank you!

The "sharp edge syndrome" here to me seems to be a good thing then as it acts as a reminder for proper ergonomics / posture. First Google AI search result on the topic: "Never rest your wrists on your MacBook while typing. Instead, let your palms…

I'm probably missing something here but if I have to worry about getting an expensive watch that calls it "Submariner" wet of all things, at the very least, it's badly named.
I think the bigger point is that people think they “afford” a luxury item as soon as they barely afford to buy it and forget that owning also has a cost. They are too afraid to use the damn thing out of fear that they damage it somehow. Their luxury item loses all meaning and use beyond showing ownership of an expensive thing. Like those fancy luxury cars some people buy but are too expensive to drive, maintain, insu…
I daily drive what some think are just for special trips.
