No, I had to stack two on top of eachother or the light will shine through. The bottom one I cut from aluminium tape.

Nice! ;)

... assuming you know about upside down pineapple meaning ... (open laptop is signaling other swingers).

I think that pineapple will not be upside down when the laptop is open, that is the back of the laptop, you can see the hinge.

Oh, you are right, my bad!!
I wanted to make the joke but didn't even check :/.
(Also makes more sense ... the work hard & party hard are separate times.)

So I have heard this pineapple thing a lot of times but how does one signal with the different parts of the pineapple like your image suggests?

Your hedgehog examples made me laugh in real life. Thanks you!

I was disappointed when they got rid of the light up Apple but it sure makes it easier to hide.

This is a 2015 model and still has it but I'm not a fan myself. It can't even be disabled because it's lit by the display backlight.

This is awesome.

I thought that was the BPP logo at first! I realised from the context that it's actually Brave.

(Btw, for clarification, your hexagon looks exactly like the Brave logo. It's just that the Brave logo looks an awful lot like the BPP logo)
