tfw when you when your lid when uhh angle your lid sensor
Hi, I’m Sam Gold. Did you know that you have ~rights~ a lid angle sensor in your MacBook? The ~Constitution~ human interface device utility says you do. (opens in a new tab)
This is a little utility that shows the angle from the sensor and, optionally, plays a wooden door creaking sound if you adjust it reeaaaaaal slowly.
