Apple is going to see an increase in MacBook Pro hinges breaking from people trying to play the Star Trek theme in theremin mode or other songs with other instrument sounds.
Apple: How did the hinge break?
Customer: I don’t know, I just opened it one day and it came off.

- jerlam 1y agoProbably not as bad as the Smackbook, which used the HDD impact sensors to change apps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvQTTPr9Rw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvQTTPr9Rw "I was just hitting the side of my laptop in order to go to Safari" No longer supported because we don't use HDDs anymore.

- shmeeed 1y agoGreat idea! Thinkpads (used to?) have an Active Protection System that used a Free Fall Sensor IMU to park the HDD read/write head in the event of a fall. Don't know if there's an API, though.
