Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

Arent stickers sort of indicia its lower quality or appealing to not-computer people?

You'd think so, but I just bought a new CPU and it came with a sticker, so you can put the sticker on your custom PC. 🤓

I can usually know somewhat closely the Intel processor generation based on the look of it (7th through 10th/11th straight up tell you), and you do know whether it’s an i5 7… etc with teh sticker. Additional stickers may indicate dedicated graphics. Seeing the display and form factor gives other indications to what segment the product belongs and what price class it targets. Finally the date of purchase tells me roughly if it is new, or a model that is getting discontinued soon and that should be discounted.

I feel like stickers are a big turn off for me but Im not sure why. If I had them i would want to peel them off like an old scab or something to make it smooth

You’d be surprised at how many people keep them. Not having stickers naturally increases uncertainty, but by chassis, display and date of purchase alone, I can still get a broad estimate of cost

Not that i judge or look down on, its just a cue for me that they might not e super savvy or Im probably not the market segment targeted by it
