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

[wjrii@lemmy.world]

Ahh yes, the Volokh Conspiracy:

We're clever enough to come up with a superficially consistent frameworks that permit our awfulness, therefore we should!

[eager_eagle@lemmy.world]

I'm already annoyed when someone is using their phone and doesn't adjust the brightness settings.

If you do this during night flights, sincerely, fuck you.

Carries entire homelab onto plane so who's up for a LAN party? I'm hosting.

[schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business]

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

[tonyostrich@lemmy.world]

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

[reddig33@lemmy.world]

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

[nindelofocho@lemmy.world]

Id fucking love this

[nindelofocho@lemmy.world]

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

[shaggy1050@lemmy.world]

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

[hootinnhollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca]

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.

[deegeese@sopuli.xyz]

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.

[tanoh@lemmy.world]

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

[gissamittjobb@lemmy.ml]

Reason is a shit rag, and I don't think their slop should be posted.

[iopq@lemmy.world]

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

[0x0@programming.dev]

Rule 34.

[kbobabob@lemmy.world]

The ones that seal do provide sound isolation

[nyan@lemmy.cafe]

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".
