Why United Does Not Allow You To Use In-Flight Screen As Extended Display

It absolutely has a strong bias, but my point is that they do a great job with citing facts, whereas a lot of large media orgs don't bother. That's why they get a strong factual rating.
I certainly could never recommend Reason as a primary news source (even as a libertarian myself), but it's fantastic as a secondary to whatever mainstream media source you like. It offers a different perspective and sometimes facts that other sources leave out (for their own biased reasons), and I find that really valuable. If you're not libertarian, it'll challenge some of your assumptions and hopefully make you think.

Are we talking about united in specific or carriers in general?
Because I am 99% certain that my last british airways flight had those protected angles

Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?

Idk. But from my experience, it's usually something like 20 people (me included). If you made that the default way to connect, I think more people would use them.
Or maybe it's not an issue, idk. I don't know a ton about Bluetooth and airplanes.

Hell yeah. Halo Custom Edition will run on a potato. We played it in highschool off of flash drives on Pentium 4HT desktops with integrated graphics.

I would expect a plan to have a lot more than 20 people watching something on their phone with AirPods (or a clone thereof). Just about everyone that's watching or listening to something on their phone nowadays is using BT headphones, because most phones don't have 3.5mm jacks anymore.

Eh. At least it looks like it's daytime. If it were on a redeye, I'd vote to push him out the nearest hatch.

What? My 20 years of flying regularly with 3.5mm headphones must have been a very long hallucination.

I said earphones and you're talking about headphones

I don't care about them, the seatbelt light is either on or off, don't bother me with what the temperature is at our destination

Yet I haven't heard of an earphone with this functionality

When I bought my house it took the old owner ages to reroute all of her mail to whatever her new address was. At one point sje had a credit card sent to her and it came to my house along with the PIN number.
If I'd been so inclined I could have withdrawn all the money from her account.
Meanwhile when I moved in I spent the first 2 days basically doing nothing other than making sure all of my mail was coming to my new address.
People are just really bad at thinking

I've definitely seen them in American airlines at least in the business class. That was about 2014 ish so I'd be surprised if it hasn't become anything other than more commonplace.

It doesn't work that way. They're piped through all audio channels at maximum volume.

During the early days of Android phones, when most of them shipped with open bootloaders and still had microsd card slots, I've seen so many store display phones that were flashed with cyanogenmod by random people

Also consider smart watches.

I've been on budget flights where the in-flight infotainment was an app on your phone which connects to a media server on the plane. Everyone was watching with Bluetooth headphones and there were no issues.
