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

[neon@lemmy.world]

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

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Yeah, people can be idiots, myself included.

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

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

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.

One of them was a BA flight.

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.

[threshold_dweller@lemmy.today]

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

[iopq@lemmy.world]

I said earphones and you're talking about headphones

[iopq@lemmy.world]

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

[iopq@lemmy.world]

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

[threshold_dweller@lemmy.today]

They make both, you dense idiot.
