When placing a Framework 13 on top of another Framework 13 laptop, the screen will turn off. How come?
minus-squaredfyx@lemmy.helios42.delinkfedilinkarrow-up24·2 months agoThe sensor that recognizes if the laptop is closed sits on the left, next to the audio jack. If you get a magnet within 2-3 cm of it, it triggers and the screen turns off. Seems like the magnet in the lid of the other laptop is just close enough.
minus-squaregothic_lemons@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoSeems like a fun prank. Couple strong magnets under someone’s desk and now their desk is cursed. What fun
minus-squaremark3748@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoYep, there’s a hall-effect sensor in there. My watch band does the same thing to several laptops. Pretty annoying but not really a problem.
