You’re in a meeting with 16 people with identical corporate laptops. Easy way to see whose is whose if they’re not open.

Pfft, that’s what the asset tags are for. Clearly my laptop is the one with the number 2760754 on a… sticker… son of a bitch!

I’ve never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren’t branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.

I sticker my laptops.

I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it’s easier to see in someone’s hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.

Yeah, god forbid anyone have a little fun in a corporate environment. Gotta stay in uniform.

I put a rainbow peel off sticker next to my camera just so I had something nice to look at during the endless Zoom meetings. No one but I could see it. Still got a bollocksing because some boomer passed too close behind my work station once in four years.

I recently happily purchased some metal Debian stickers for my work laptops. If you know, then you know. And if you want to know, I’m more than happy to explain.

The Arch metal sticker for my home gaming rig? That was for me.

Does any profit from the Debian stickers actually go towards the Debian project, or is it just someone making money off of someone else’s project?
