  • Experimenting with CZcams Shorts. Quick advice for anyone that puts stickers on their laptop.
    It's been a few months and the heat of the MacBook Pro quite literally melted a silhouette of the stickers onto my laptop which is permanent now.

  • @mathijsalkemade87
    @mathijsalkemade87 Před 2 lety +12

    I think maybe uv has a role in this, where the sicker protects the area underneath from being tarnished by the sun's uv rays. I've also seen this on a metal surface of an old laptop of mine. Very little materials are safe from being affected by uv rays so probably anodized aluminum neither.

    • @randomthoughtstech
      @randomthoughtstech  Před 2 lety +3

      I got the stickers at conferences over the years, companies often ship them out for free. If you can't find any companies that are giving them out, do a search on RedBubble which has a lot of options. Regarding the shell, I'll have to post a link in the description, but I got mine from Amazon for under $30.
