As for the thickness of the paper or tape, just remember, anything thicker, and you could be putting pressure on the delicate electronics and the glass. Thicker, they're probably thinking of anyone who would tape a sheet of cardboard over the lens, instead of, say, just slapping a Post-It over it. And possibly also haphazardly closing your MacBook on it by slamming the damn thing shut, putting an extra load of pressure on that camera spot.

Nobody said they made the most durable hardware, but it is some of the best in its price point, and also halfway decent at cooling, what with the entire laptop body being a giant heatsink.

Meanwhile, I keep hearing random people in my friendly neighborhood (not literally neighborhood) chats that are really dying to get their hands on some RISC-V PCs. Yeah, sure. And I bet there's already a solution for running x86 code on those, right? Or were they all planning to go whole hog and throw all proprietary software in the trash?

Mozilla lays off 250 employees while it refocuses on commercial products
August 11, 2020 (comments)
Mozilla continues the war against its own users, this time adopting scorched-earth tactics. Some of the surviving Mozillas show up to chastise us for daring to question the edicts of the people who (for now) still sign their paychecks. Most Hackernews are operating under the delusion that Mozilla exists to do anything but carry Google's water, so there are lots of arguments about which slightly-different approaches to bureaucracy will Save the Internet. Grimly and with little relish, the Rust Evangelism Strike Force marches into the fray to declare that their savior will live through the fall of the empire that spawned it, because every other programming language ever conceived is a crime in the eyes of the Lord. It was worth it all, we are told, for the code that was writ in the tongue of the Heavens is secure, and will dwell in eternity, yea though the hand that hath typed it is shitcanned.

Mozilla Lifeboat

Some webshits band together after Mozilla throws them off the ship. Representatives from various better companies arrive in the comments to throw lifelines or condolences to the victims. Every single one of them is rewarded with a string of Hackernews bitching about their products. The rest of the comments repeat the previous days' ranting, except less focused and more confident.

This series, issued primarily to generate revenue from numismatic
sales, is one of the few modern notes to feature a bare-breasted
female; in this case, Ina. As legend has it, Ina was the love of
Tinirau, the god of the ocean who lived on a floating island.
One day Ina jumped into the sea in search of Tinirau, but was
continually tossed back to shore by gigantic waves. Eventually a
shark agreed to carry her on his back.
Ina took some coconuts with her for food and drink on the
journey. After some time, Ina became thirsty, so the shark raised his
dorsal fin so that she could crack a coconut and partake of its milk.
This she did and it satisfied her thirst. She then relieved herself on
the shark, who wasn’t too happy about that and warned her not to
do this again. This is why islanders complain that the shark meat
smells of urine.
Again Ina became thirsty and this time she cracked the coconut
on the shark’s head. Reeling from the pain, the shark tossed Ina off
his back and dived below the waters, leaving her to flounder in the
sea. Finally, Tekea the Great—the king of all sharks—rose from the
bottom of the sea and rescued Ina. He then carried her to Tinirau’s
island, where they were finally reunited.
