Friend casually has this deeply eroded Yubikey nano sticking out of the side of their laptop.

Didn't realise they could decay that much!

@benjojo Wow, is it right next to a hot air exhaust or something?

@benjojo interesting, I’ve had mine for > four years, and it’s in better condition that that! What have they been doing to it!?

@benjojo it looks kinda melted to me tbh; note how little the touch point on that side sticks out

@benjojo could be the rubber is being degraded by something in a hand lotion product?

@benjojo oh wow. Mine recently died after I took a bike ride with my backpack containing my laptop through a little bit too much rain. This one however looks like it was attacked by a blow torch.
