My laptop has stickers, one of which is a photo of my previous laptop and its stickers. One of those is a photo of the laptop before that…

That's how git commits work.

Current laptop stickers: current state.

Photo of the previous laptop: reference to previous commit.

I love this... I haven't had the courage to "spend" my sticker collection on my current laptop, as they obviously don't last forever. A solution could be to photograph the old cover, and print it as a full-size sticker as a starting point for the next laptop!

Stickers all the way down.

I didn't go that far, but I did take the back cover from my old (stickered) laptop and hang it on the wall.

Keep it going! I did that to my Facebook pfp (they also have stickers) - after a few years it became this abstract, glitchy work of art. I don’t use fb anymore but still remember that fondly

Like my primary storage, with the old storage in a sub folder.

There's still a WP51 folder in there somewhere...

That's how my laptop home directory used to look. A subdirectory with a copy of the prior incarnation's home directory ad infinitum...
