i keep having the thought "i should get my paws on some speedcubing magnets or something, put them in the shell and stop it from doing this"

but luckily my immediate next thought is "yeah holly, put magnets right next to the screen. see how that goes"

@monorail am I missing something here? I don't think magnets will do anything, it's not a crt?

@noiob i know that "magnets mess up electronics" is fairly overblown but i'd still want to be careful with something this small and relatively delicate

@monorail magnets don't mess up electronics, changing magnetic fields do. Apple has put a shitton of magnets in their iPads for a while now, mine is stuck to my PC case right now

@monorail I don't think it affects it at all, liquid crystals aren't magnetic
