Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Please excuse the absence of conservative pundits this morning. They're busy deleting their 2021 posts about how the President couldn't deploy the National Guard on Jan 6th.

Who's really using AI? The evidence suggests its students using it to write their papers for them. Is AI great or what!?
