When boredom strikes, creative minds find a way to turn mundane tech into music-making magic. Case in point: Sam Henri Gold, a design engineer from NYC, has transformed his MacBook’s screen hinge into a fully functioning theremin.
Yes, you heard that right! Apparently, there’s a nifty little sensor buried deep within the bowels of MacBooks that can detect the angle of the screen. So, why not turn it into a musical instrument? Sam has ingeniously repurposed that capability to unleash the sound of creaking doors and pitch control straight from his hinge. Talk about taking multitasking to a whole new level!
Imagine this: you’re wrapping up your zoom call, and as you close your laptop, it serenades you with eerie theremin sounds, straight out of a sci-fi film. Finally, a reason to keep that laptop around the house even when your work is done!
The only downside? You might scare the cat—unless they also fancy themselves as a music critic. Who knew that tech boredom could lead to such a twist? If you’re ever in need of musical inspiration or just want to make your coworkers question your sanity, take a page from Sam’s book. What will tech-savvy boredom inspire next?
