Why United Does Not Allow You To Use In-Flight Screen As Extended Display
-
No darkmode... Pedestrian flash banging the plane
-
Probably just don't know what dark mode is
-
This is one where it isn't just that though. You know there would be people who'd wait for someone to go to the bathroom or fall asleep and then walk past and hit the OK button for them.
-
I think they went the other way.
-
The budget airline handed out wireless headphones?
-
I watched a woman log into her email at a Best Buy laptop kiosk then walk away. I went over and logged her out.
The user is a moron. Lock your shit.
-
I spent two years at that aforementioned wine shop emailing “I love you” to my co-worker buddy Rob should anyone have left open their email. Rob knew it was me but always made a point to thank the person who said they loved him.
-
Seriously. What a fucking ridiculous "problem".
-
Right? I keep a list of every single company/service that I gave my email address, physical address, or phone number to. Every time I give it out I add it to the list. When it needs changing I go through the list and update it in all of them.
-
No, you bring your own.
-
My wife does this. At 2am. Often mid week. And wonders why I wake up in the middle of the night and grumpy.
-
So... I'm pretty sure the entire plane wasn't on Bluetooth headphones then.
-
By earphones I mean in-ear models. Maybe there is some weird over-ear model with that feature, but when IEMs add the Bluetooth feature, the cord gets cut from the design
-
Damn, you're right. For many years I used the Bose Quiet Comfort 20, but those aren't made anymore. There are still some options but none of them look great. The major brands just stopped making them. Ironically the first pair I found was USB-C with an adapter.
-
And the entire plane wouldn't be on Bluetooth headphones if the in-flight infotainment systems supported it as an option so what's your point?
-
I didn't want that model because you can't switch the cable. I'm not paying $100 for something that breaks when the cable breaks (which is always the first thing to go)
-
I mean, those are your own arbitrary limits. That's fine, more power to ya, but it means you'll do without it. Meanwhile i used mine for 15 years of travel and the only thing wrong with it is the rubbery outside of the ANC block has come off, is purely cosmetic. Still works as good as new.
-
You don't engineer a system with such an obvious fail state.
-
I disagree that its an obvious fail state. Surely with all of these airlines flying thousands of passengers daily, we'd have at least a handful or reports of spotty bluetooth on flights, right? Where are they?
-
People do run into problems. It's well known that too many Bluetooth devices in a small area can jam each other. It's not an on/off switch, it's increasing amounts of interference in the signal. So it appears as interruptions in audio/video or unintended noise.
