No joke, great mod.
Don’t be scared. Fuck around a bit.
I like the cut of their jib.
Should be a new life motto
Oh. I thought he made them sharper so it becomes a double use laptop:

Thanks! I hate it!
Though fair play you should be able to do whatever you want with your own stuff.
This was on my work computer.
Oh god. The IT department must hate them.
I wonder if they would do that with their personal machines as well…
My IT department doesn’t even let us put stickers on the laptops out of concerns about damage
That’s the excuse they give you. The real reason is that they don’t want employees expressing their personalities or affiliations while representing the company.
I could see someone putting a sticker over a vent for the aesthetics and cause that’s where the loud noise generally comes from.
Your IT department is ludicrous. The resale value isn’t impacted by stickers; they’re sold in lots.
My IT department puts anything capable of storing data into a chipper when its time has come. The guys who load the trucks will throw laptops like frisbees into the steel cage that they lock the devices in between the office and the shredder.
They probably wouldn’t care if you gave your laptop a tattoo or even a piercing.
I say this to in general, but the reason why may be because the work laptop doesn’t belong to them?
Are they the kind of person who will doodle and scribble and highlight whole paragraphs in fluo yellow, rip covers and pages, and scorn the corners of a book that was loaned to them?
Some people have no respect for someone else’s property.
Mine has my name engraved on it permanently as is the case with most of my possessions. I love the horror on people’s face when they hear you’ve intentionally “damaged” something valuable.
Stock items have no character. Customize everything.
I wish more people did this, I sometimes have to convince people it’s ok to remove stickers from the manufacturers. I recently painted my dryer and it’s controls, the washers getting a treatment next. You can just pick up some nail polish and go to town on appliances if you want to start small.
Since you can’t open the case and salvage much, engraving the case is a solid measure to confirm ownership.
Perfect sentiment! Change your tools so they work well for you.
I believe strongly in customizing one’s tools
The irony of saying this about a Mac.
There are tons of utils to customize the MacOS UI, including lots of open-source ones and some that kick ass off anything on Linux or Windows. Anyone saying that MacOS can’t be customized, has never used MacOS.
You inclined to drop some examples?

MacBook != MacOS
Yeah its not the minimalist distros were all used to running but it still is a Unix OS with root privileges no?
Either way its the dudes work PC, probably doesn’t have a choice.
I meant Asahi Linux.
on the what?
… on the notch in front of the mousepad.

Looks pretty rounded to me already.
The points on the front edge corners are actually really sharp. They is no radius on the inner curve to the corner.

I’d file mine if it wasn’t the dark gray. The silver is gonna look bad. Maybe in another few years.
What THE FUCK!?!?
Wait how much did you file it right by the mouse pad? It looks so weird and uneven in the post.
Yes
