I had a load of stickers on my old machine. I kept the laptop but felt the need to remove the stickers. I think part of me had moved on from what they represented - mostly past interests. Another part of me never liked how they overlapped, I tried but it didn't really work for me. It raises the question: are stickers randomly placed or is there some deliberate pattern to them that I just can't see? Do you just slap them on, or precision place them to look random?

#372Am I the only one that finds sticker bombed laptops cringe ?
The vast majority of people with stickerbombed laptops are either extremists (either side, equally bad in my view), or wanna be techies who are rarely competent.

#373you can tell who's old... i see 6 cDc stickers, 3 L0pht stickers, 1 HNN, 1 attrition. i see SUN and 3dfx, that's pretty tight. i lol'd at "libc.so.6"
Haven't heard about cDc in about 20 years. Are they still active as a collective in any way?

Re: Laptops with Stickers
#375I had a great stickered laptop for a few years, lots of valuable stickers I'd collected at various hackathons and such, but .. Apple stole it!
I had to get the screen replaced, and no matter how hard I pleaded, Apple refused to give me the old screen back to hang on my nerd wall.
I remain convinced that some Apple tech has a collection of these screens, somewhere, on their own nerd wall.
Grrr...

#377Earlier quoted context omitted.
No glowing logo since before the USB-C/touchbar generation, about 10 years ago
When Apple was making a comeback from being all but dead, the logo was a quick way to identify other members of your tribe. And you could walk into a coffee shop and get an instant tally of how Apple was doing. It was really precarious for a time, and then after some months it became reassuring and then some more months and you could stop worrying altogether. Hard to believe that was ever the case! Iconic photo from…
I remember seeing this photo all over the internet, usually with “Think different” caption. Thanks for the reminder!
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#378Stickers themselves can be fun and quirky, but I for the life of me can't figure out why people would put such extremely divisive and workplace-unnecessary messaging on their MAIN WORK DEVICE as many of these have. The kind of lack to integrate to a team having your pride flags, literal death threats to perceived enemies, furries, loli anime, etc on a thing you intend to bring to the workplace to do all your work on…
I’m struggling to understand how you’ve put pride flags and death threats in the same category of “extremely divisive”.
I see others have asked the same question, but you don’t seem to have the courage to respond.
What’s divisive about a pride flag?
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#379Don’t know about the story telling as in a story about the past of the laptop. I have a lot of colleagues who come back with a full plastered laptop the second day they receive a new machine. I think that there is a culture of either leave you machines pristine or show you don’t give a f… how expensive it is. Sure the world is not black and white here so.
Re: Laptops with Stickers
#380I got rid of all mine after getting disillusioned with every one of the causes they represented.
This is the main reason I've never gotten a tattoo - how I feel about whatever it is will almost certainly change.
