65 | Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable | ||
66 | workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it | ||
67 | fall to the ground is out of question... | ||
68 | |||
69 | A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it | ||
70 | into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10 | ||
71 | centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection. | ||
