I was on the beach with my work laptop in my backpack in sleep mode. I lifted the backpack and saw water dripping out. The stupid plastic water bottle had failed. Let's hope that my master thesis is still alive. Pray for the HP.

    Oh God... Hope so too for you. Have you considered using Git to backup your thesis? Makes totally sense when you're using latex

    Golden rule if going to the beach: never go into sleep mode, you'll get burned...

    I can't believe people still do this stuff. Get it on Dropbox or something...

    I do have a backup, but I was Not Sure if it was the latest. Luckily, it was 35 degrees here, so it managed to dry and is now working.

    The notebook opened the bottle itself and tried to commit suicide.

    Seriously though I am glad your thesis is fine

    I have a latex backup in overleaf and also in a cloud, but they were not the newest. Anyways, hairdryer and local hot weather saved this old machine.
