How durable is the laptop lid against cats?

Should have a CAT scan and a LAB test done on it first.

I think the framework will handle a cat on it much better then a fish on it.

I thought we would have more cat pictures on this thread :frowning:

This one loved to sleep by the exhaust vents.

Oh look at that. Perfect size for her.

Her ears are turned back because even though she doesn’t plan to move, she is at least listening to you plead with her to let you use your new machine. :wink:

How it works here when I want to get back control of some equipment :wink:

I seem to be experiencing the same issue with my new fw16.

I think this is a topic framework need to investigate further.
Testing with cats of different breed, size and colour.
Also graphs plotting cpu / battery usage vs cat affinity would be useful.

Someone got a Lion, Tiger or panther 
 :smile: :smile: :smile:

I’m so sorry to hear that, can you please share more pictures, possibly from different angles?

Also, did you try giving the cat some treats? and maybe some scratching below the ears?

Sadly Tesla is a scaredycat. So as soon as I approach him with a camera he runs away, just to jump up on my lap 30secs later. Cats


But I will do my best to reproduce this issue and document it further and will report back here.

Scratching and treats are delivered on a regular basis. I am however totally unwilling to discontinue treats and earscratching to see if it affects this issue.

Nice pictures.
I did not find a cat in the FW box when I opened it. Did I forget to click on the “cat” accessory when ordering?
:wink:

Schrödinger’s cat. It’s either there or it isn’t, you never know 'til you open the box.

My Siamese cat jumps on the lid and it sends an enter key press into whatever I am typing. I don’t know how she does it, I cannot get it to happen by hitting the lid.

A bit off-topic, but how do you power them on without opening? Power on AC?
What about resuming from sleep? In mine, if I unplug the usb hub (when switch from work to personal laptop), it won’t wake up the laptops anymore, so opening the lid is the only way :frowning:

I don’t put it to sleep. And I configured power-on on AC.

You can also use a ec ccd. You attach a device to slot 4, and it gives you console access to the ec. You then attach something to that, that send a poweron serial message and the laptop powers on. You could probably rig up a side switch to a microcontroller to add a sort of side power switch to the fw16.

Could you please point me to the guide/documentation that describes how it works and what needs to be done? Thank you!

The “ec ccd” is something like this:
