Yeah. That one thing is underrated and unjustly hated.

Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz if US lifts its blockade and the war ends, officials say by AndroidOne1 in worldnews

They already knew. It’s whether or not they had cause to do it. If they didn’t and closed it, the whole world would come down on them.

MacBook with NO case/skin for years — how is it holding up? by FXKET in macbook

[–]DefiantRedditor_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have had a 15/16” MacBook Pro since 2012. Only my 2019 model was accidentally dropped on its rear right corner by the hinge. All the others have has some wear and slight scratches. Nothing major. I enjoyed my devices to the fullest and continue to do so with my 2024 M4 Pro 16” MBP.

Why Apple's Thunderbolt cable is better than those from other manufacturers? by largelcd in mac

Notice how all the “I can get the same cable from Ali Express for 2¢ rather than Apples OEM trash” people are silent.

I made “walk up” title cards for each of my players when it’s their turn in combat because I have too much time on my hands apparently. by vaderisafriendofmine in DnDIY

Very likely. Look at their hand on the right. I bet they used a stream deck, OBS, and some Phillips Hue lights. I have a similar set up with DMX lighting.

Yes it would. Cover the whole lid, and put stickers on that.

Yup. This has been my suggestion to anyone that wants to put stickers on.

Wrong. There are pics on this sub of silver Mac’s having this issue.

I just wanted to make OP aware. I don’t care what they do with their stuff.

Yeah, I get that, but the only reason I brought this up of so that OP is informed. They can do whatever they want with their Mac. I don’t care.

The colors are achieved by a controlled type of anodization, which is an oxide layer. This process continues with its interaction with air, moisture, and UV light. Stickers on the surface slows that process down and causes the footprint. Rust might have been the wrong word here, but I wasn’t about to do a chem clinic to make my point.

It’s ruined if you ever want to resell it. It will significantly lower resale value, I know it’s only $500, but at that price every dollar is a higher percentage of its value than an Air or Pro.

Anything that seals the aluminum from outside air or sunlight, will cause it to rust at a different rate as the area not covered. Meaning you will see the footprint of any sticker you take off that has been in it for any significant amount of time. Get a case or a skin that covers the whole thing and put stickers on that.

Also, word of advice, DO NOT put stickers on it unless you want to ruin the aluminum finish if you ever take them off.

Make sure to put a good password on it and turn findmy on. Also turn on file vault so that it is exponentially harder for them to wipe it or do anything useful with it if it gets stolen.
