  • It looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?

  • It reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

    Demo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJwDs6KRXA&ra=m

    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!

  • Newer MacBooks have IMUs as well for the movement dots feature (used to help with screen sickness in vehicles)

  • I think someone also made this for MacBooks: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor

  • 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

  • I wonder if the sound could be fully synthesized instead of the current 2.9s recording. That's not an easy task, but perhaps the result would sound more realistic.

  • > pitch depends on position of hinge > volume depends on how fast you adjust it

    Yeah, I had the same thought - in all the creaky doors I've seen, pitch and speed go together.
