- Sam Gold introduces a utility for MacBook lid angle sensors.
- The utility displays the lid angle and can play a creaking sound when adjusted slowly.
- Lid angle sensors were introduced with the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and may not work on M1 devices.
- The utility is hard-coded for specific sensors, and users are encouraged to report issues if it doesn't work.
- Known problematic models include M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro.
- The utility hasn't been tested on iMacs, and humorous suggestions are made for testing.
- Sam Gold is open to full-time work in NYC or remote as a designer/design-engineer.
- The utility's developer account is under 'Lisa' due to childhood registration issues.
- The sound effect is from LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, and audio quality is acknowledged as poor.
- Instructions for turning off the sound and installation via Homebrew are provided.
