I've just realized that on my first #DebConf, in 2015, some people was using their (thinkpad) laptops as a tray to carry their meals. on my second DebConf, 2025, I didn't see anybody doing that.
I'd say that laptop design has gone really wrong somewhere in the process.
(this may be a bit of a subtoot)

direi che da qualche parte nel frattempo il design dei laptop ha preso una piega profondamente sbagliata

in reply to Lauma Pret 🕸️ • •@Lauma Pret 🕸️ this year at DebConf there was an accident involving a modern thinkpad and some plain water (the thinkpad survived, after being opened and dried) and that's when I discovered that modern thinkpads no longer have the water drainage holes under the keyboard.
WHY???
