The team who handles hardware generally loves seeing the stickers people put on them.


I used to have Pokemon stickers on my laptop.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Often the laptop is replaced before the feelings change. Each laptop lid becomes a time machine showing who you were at the time.


I work at a large (>50k employees) company that is in every way the opposite of a start-up. Plenty of people cover their work laptops in stickers. The hardware group that handles replacing old machines has a wall of fame for all the lids with cool stickers.


Prop 65 is frequently joked about but at the time it was a resounding success. The drawback is that any item being sold in California that doesn't pay for the extensive testing (to confirm it doesn't contain any of the thousand chemicals on the list from 1985), ends up carrying the label that the item might cause cancer. If Wikipedia is too dry for you, there's a podcast that explains the history and facts well https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/warning-this-podcast-...


Cold take. This is quality writing. I learned about something and was thoroughly amused the entire time.


Unnecessarily verbose? So you hate reading, I guess.
