I get the feeling about 90% of those laptops belong to either cyber security folks or rust developers. Just a gut feeling.

It's funny, I am in cybersecurity but I have always liked keeping my laptop free of stickers. Always seemed like "trying too hard" to me. And as much as I love my laptop, much like my Fluke 87V, I value it as a tool, not a means of self-expression.

Maybe I am just boring, lol. I did use an original copy of the PGP source code book as a monitor stand though!

My thoughts exactly. It feels very much like they're roleplaying as an ordinary person's idea of a "hacker".
