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

As someone with their phone set to the bottom third of the brightness spectrum almost always (unless I'm outside), I really don't understand this. Brightness is perhaps my most adjusted setting, since I use it a half dozen times a day or so. In fact, brightness is the least interesting spec when looking at a device, since I rarely run at max anyway. In fact, my computer screen I use for work is usually at 50% brightness.
How can people stand getting blasted with lumens all the time?

There's no reason they couldn't expose an HDMI port, or even provide a cable that runs down the seat to the tray table.

Yeah, that was my take as well. That, and adding the ability to plug in/connect costs money and probably isn't popular enough to make it charging for it profitable.

So you make a point with great arguments.
Care to elaborate?

As someone who finds that most "dark mode" offerings aren't dark enough, I don't understand how they can tolerate it either. I suspect it's rather like spicy food: given enough exposure, you don't notice it's spicy (or bright) until reaching a level far above what people who aren't exposed to it on a constant basis would think was acceptable.

I like that analogy, because I love spicy food and many things I consider "mild" are too hot for others.
But surely exposing yourself to that much light causes actual problems like eye strain and poor sleep (esp. at night).

The thing is, would they make the connection? Some people aren't very good at linking up cause and effect where the link isn't practically screaming in their face.

The article is about extended displays though.

No traces but you are still sharing your financials on a screen

They make a thing for that.

I played splinter cell chaos theory coop with some random on my steamdeck on a transatlantic flight a few months ago. Can highly recommend!

Reminds me of the time when I was living in Phoenix and picking up a friend from the bus station. The bus departures came in one big door and right next to the door was one of them new standing internet kiosks that allowed you to browse the internet. This was back in 2003. I was checking it out to see what you could do and where it allowed you to go, when my friends bus came in. I was on goatse.cx and saw my friend and left the kiosk open and we went to leave and noticed many older Hispanic folks freaking out, or laughing as they entered the bus station. The timer ran out on the internet access, but it was a lot of fun with open monitors in public.

I've never seen angle protection on those screens and I've flown multiple carriers with them.

Reason is libertarian and MBFC has a massive libertarian bias.

The second we get a better short range wireless protocol so there aren't a hundred Bluetooth devices jamming each other on the plane.
If you travel a lot they do make airplane headphones that have a 3.5mm connector and run noise cancelling.

Found these pretty quickly.

Most over-ear noise cancelling headphones I've seen have a 3.5mm input that works with the noise cancelling.

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
