When placing a Framework 13 on top of another Framework 13 laptop, the screen will turn off. How come?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink23•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.
