I was very confused how painting a laptop black made it less secure or how that could make it run faster. I was just like, "holy shit somebody painted a laptop" and was thinking about the hinges and stuff and what type of paint they hopefully used.

Then read the white bit and realized it was about race.

    I thought it was some dumb attempt at thermal management like “oh when you paint roofs white it lowers electricity bills because the heat from the sun can’t go in as good so if I paint my laptop black it’ll be cooler because the heat from the inside will go out better, maybe”

    Like just some real dumb shit like that, but nope, racism

    Same. I remember doughnut on YouTube or ltt or somebody doing a thing on painting radiators black, and whether or not that increased their thermal ability.

    Like just some real dumb shit like that, but nope, racism.
