TL;DR: a repair shop owner from Germany managed to create a tool to calibrate the display angle sensor (used to trigger sleeping on Macs when the lid is closed)

I agree with Martin on this, but I'm not sure that this is the right response to this specific video. Martin makes clear that he thinks Apple's decision to withhold calibration tools from anyone who isn't an authorized service partner is shitty and anti-repair, and that's what this video is focused on.

The other point Martin makes is (in my opinion) correct, but not directly relevant here.
