On mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx < 10.5 haha): https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop

iirc there is also a imu in some macbooks to detect a fall and park the hdd heads before the crash? Anyway, always happy to see toys like this!

That's really fun and cool! :) I was hoping the sound would also be sped up/down (or change of pitch perhaps would work better) as you moved the hinge faster/slower, so you could do that really slow "tack-tack-tack" sound like when you move a really heavy door on a worn hinge really slow

Awesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.

Very cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)

from the readme:

> the filtering is optimised for framework 12's hinge stiffness.

never in a million years would I expect to have to optimize software for a given hinge stiffness, this made me chuckle just reading it

also:

> why

> funny

I like that :)

It finally feels premium. This is really funny

I'm reminded of the hacks for old ThinkPads that read the accelerometer used to detect drops and park the disk heads; by slapping the machine on either side, you could switch to the next or previous desktop.

Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
