Why United Does Not Allow You To Use In-Flight Screen As Extended Display
-
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
-
Reason is a shit rag, and I don't think their slop should be posted.

Rule 34.
-
The ones that seal do provide sound isolation
-
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".

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.
