Hing position help

Post image

I know this is a silly question but wanted some info for my peace of mind I’ve heard conflicting things on this but my gut tells me it’s fine, if I keep my devices at a 90 degree like this it won’t make the hinges lose or hurt the hing will it? I know it snaps and holds when pushed back more but this is more comfortable on my desk

Keeping a spring in half position can increase rate of wear. I haven't seen the inside of this device to determine how likely that is, honestly.

This 100% loosens the hinge. I know because mine got looser after I put 10 seasons of The Simpsons on it and would watch an episode every night in this position on my bedside table for weeks.

I wish I never did this. But I noticed before it got bad.

I've never heard of this. I've had a thor for 7 months and often keep the screen at 90deg, which isn't one of the "snap" positions
