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
I believe strongly in customizing one’s tools
The irony of saying this about a Mac.
Wow, I totally forgot that Danger 5 exists.
MacBook != MacOS
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.
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
Your IT department is ludicrous. The resale value isn’t impacted by stickers; they’re sold in lots.
Right? It’s not like they’re filing down the edges or something
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’m not quite sure whether we’re forbidden to put stickers on our work laptops, but almost everybody does. How else am I supposed to recognise mine after leaving it in a meeting room with a few others and coming back a while later?
I’ve never put stickers on any of my equipment, personal or otherwise … But someone at my work once told me that one could procure plastic shells you can put on Macbooks so you can a. Not damage the device and b. Take your stickers with you when you leave.
How am I supposed to project my corporate signalling?
I mean, stickers are sometimes pretty hard to remove and leave behind permanent marks on some finishes, but that’s a hard nitpick.
I like seeing stickers on employee’s laptops, means they at least somewhat enjoy working here.
Oh. I thought he made them sharper so it becomes a double use laptop:
Nice
Thanks! I hate it!
Though fair play you should be able to do whatever you want with your own stuff.
At the risk of being called a corporate bootlicker, it sounds like it isn’t their own, it was their employer’s.
If it’s your own, absolutely, fair play. If it’s your employer’s… Then it feels murkier. I wouldn’t blame their IT department for being quite cross if/when time comes to upgrade and return the laptop and give it a second life. For example, I would be quite pissed if IT gave me a defaced laptop like this as a loaner while mine is getting repaired.
This is extremely funny, thanks
I really do hate the edges on the unibody macs. I don’t think I can take a file to a paycheque’s worth of delicate electronics.
Perfect sentiment! Change your tools so they work well for you.
It looks almost organic, like a return to some of the earlier ideas Apple had when they weren’t afraid of multiple materials and colors.
on the what?
I dremeled (with the emory wheel) the four sharp corners on my MacBook Air. Sharp and annoying before. Nicely rounded and smooth now.
Wait how much did you file it right by the mouse pad? It looks so weird and uneven in the post.
Yes

My cats would hate if I did this.
