I'm sitting at a coffee shop taking a break from getting creative work done on my laptop and looking at this thing with all its exposed contacts and a cable you have to connect the screen to the keyboard with and imagining the chaos when someone spills a drink.

For some reason this comment reminds me of the time when it was said that e.g. Apple Macintosh manuals were printed on drool-proof paper [1]. This may just not be your type of device? Context: I'm typing this on an ancient IBM Model M keyboard surrounded by breadboards with ESP2688's and a few ESP32's (as used in this project), nothing but exposed contacts and patch cables. There is also a 0.75l mug of tea on the desk but never the twain have met. Not in a coffee shop but home on the range where the moose have started to eat our apples again, damn them.
