It’s a physical magnetic switch. The article does explain this.

I suppose what I meant to ask is, does anyone have any evidence of this being actually true? If so, how would one specifically mimic a closed lid? In lieu of us doing our own experiments, has anyone discovered the appropriate size/strength magnet, and precisely where it could be placed, or whatever other tactic, to activate this hardware switch?
