What is your best DIY Hack

I recently found a neat hack to make my MacBook Pro more comfortable to use: filing down the sharp edges! It’s a simple mod that can significantly improve your experience, especially if you spend a lot of time on your laptop.

10/10 would do it again :P Happy coding out there.

A video tutorial on the topic

Do you guys have any interesting hacks like this?

That was a bold move! 😲 I would never have done that to my beloved Macbook Air! 🩶 If I am to complain about anything, it must be that it is so cold to the touch. That was fine over in the Mediterranean, but back in Scandinavia it is just plain brutal! 🥶
My Macbook Air with some stickers I won on it like the Hacktoberfest sticker

PS! Also they could have made the cable much sturdier!

Ahahah, I did not expect it.
I don't have such an original hack, but keeping a good position with the screen at head level helped me a lot. I try to take a regular 1-minute break by looking far to rest my eyes.

For my screen I have replaced the stand with.

Gas Arm Stand

This is something worth investing in it makes it easy to adjust perfect height and no stand on the desk is Wonderfull.
