There are very very few things that I believe deserve summary and immediate execution, and that's just made the list.

You joke, but I have absolutely created an ad-hoc wireless network and gamed with people I'm traveling with on a flight before.

People can’t behave themselves in public. Even more so on airplanes.

To be fair, that IS the consequences of their own actions kinda

How?! How can they stand it themselves and not feel like they're being blinded?

I don’t like how we have to limit everything to the lowest denominator at the punishment of everyone

I just want to know when I can connect my noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones to the display instead of the tinny pair of wired "maraccas" that I keep in my travel bag.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Number of stews who have the time to help you figure out the pairing rigamarole or why the radio on this unit is fucked: ZERO.
Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.
Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero
People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero
I'm thinking you'll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.

I never recline my seat, but if I was sitting infront of that guy I would move it down for a bit. Then up again. Then down again. Etc for however long the flight is

3.5mm earphones don't block 85db of plane noise

They're just not letting their eyes get dark-adapted in the first place. They can't see anything but the phone screen, but they also don't care.

Then you'll still have people screencast porn to their own screen, photograph it and post it on social media with a title like "United's in-flight entertainment".

And they're lots of fun when there's a cabin announcement.

No help necessary. Leave it as an advanced option and provide those who request assistance a cheap pair of 3.5 mm headphones. SOLVED.
Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.
-
Wire gets caught in my limbs because the seating area is so tight.
-
Wire jack is tucked up from people pulling headphones at odd angles. Wortsst case scenario (has happened to me): the jack is inoperable, incapable of holding headphones without continuous, upwards pressure.
-
No active noise canceling (you might still be able to find ANC wired headphones but they are a niche product if they still exist).
-
An extra item to pack, since my phone requires a dangle to use 3.5 mm headphones, so I either pack a dangle, or another pair of headphones for using with my phone.
Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero
I'm sorry you're not able to appreciate hifi sound but that's a a you problem.
People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero
Those sound like shit compared to the expensive pair of wireless ear buds that I already own.
I’m thinking you’ll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.
Of course I'm fine. But what's this nonsense about bothering air safety officers? Nobody is berating airline employees about bluetooth headphones lol.
