Gregory's Server@sandofsky With the added bonus of not being able to see your car console while driving because that is also a monitor now!

That was also my first reaction. Most famous quote from the film that I could use every day: „I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.“  @jhavok @HolyCrap @prefec2 @Unabart @sandofsky also my first reaction... What is wrong with us?!   @prefec2 @sandofsky I love my car. I’m lucky I have one. It’s been a tremendous benefit to my livelihood. I would be fucked without it.  @Unabart @sandofsky This is unfortunate for you that you need a car and that they use screens with polarised light so many sunglasses can render them unusable. Unfortunately, this issue does not disappear with OLED. Of course this can be avoided with another type of sunglasses, but that can be quite expensive when you need special ones tailored to your eyes. BTW thanks for reminding me of this issue. I would have missed that otherwise. @prefec2 @sandofsky I don’t have polarized glasses. I can see everything as intended! @taixzo @Unabart @sandofsky honestly I did not understand why, but it seems it does. I found multiple sources pointing that out and one that explained it. Also I did not find sources which claimed the opposite. However, if someone can provide a comprehensive and understandable explanation, I would be delighted to read it. @prefec2 @taixzo @Unabart @sandofsky Just a demo of the effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SIxEiL8ujA With some explanations: @gerdcastan @prefec2 @taixzo @Unabart @sandofsky do you have a link to a written explanation? @prefec2 @taixzo @Unabart @sandofsky Most OLEDs use polarizers and wave plates to reduce reflections which would otherwise come from internal components. You lose brightness (~50%), but gain contrast. This is one of the reasons why the efficiency of OLEDs is lower than one might naively hope. Here's one model: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/5845197523731 (Note that the front of the display is at the bottom of the diagrams, and unfortunately the OLEDs themselves are left out.) @Unabart (Cc: @prefec2 @sandofsky) @migmit @prefec2 @sandofsky I live and work in Europe, so you have guessed wrong. @migmit @prefec2 @sandofsky I work throughout all of Western Europe. Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, U.K., and throughout all parts of Germany. This requires a car. I have a nice car and it’s an important part of my life. There’s nothing strange about this.  @migmit @Unabart @prefec2 @sandofsky so strange indeed! I lived in Europe all my life and never even saw a car or met a person who owns one. @mykhaylo @migmit @prefec2 @sandofsky Super proud of you! Pride of the village! @Unabart @migmit @prefec2 @sandofsky that was sarcasm dude, do i really need to spell it out. It’s normal to have a car in Europe. @Unabart @prefec2 @sandofsky "I would be fucked without my car" says good things about your car in context, but bad things about the built environment produced by car culture. @jtwcornell91 @prefec2 @sandofsky I don’t give a shit. I love car culture. What I do is none of your business and I wish people would just mind their own. All I mentioned was a silly quip about reading a car console with polarized shades and every bicycle ninny lines up to educate me about cars and car culture. Do whatever you want. I really don’t care at all. Just please leave me alone about what I want to do. Thanks. @Unabart @jtwcornell91 @sandofsky The thing is, we live together on this globe. The everyone minds his or her own business is not sufficient. We have cars parked everywhere, people cannot use the sidewalk safely, people get run over while motorists think when they can't see a thing there is nothing, or they don't look and kill another person on a bicycle or a pedestrian. Cars also use a lot of space, the infrastructure is expensive. So prior 1 for cars will not do it. @prefec2 What part of "I don't care" is the hardest to grasp? I don't give a single dimpled shit how you feel about cars. DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT, JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! @Unabart @prefec2 @sandofsky my point was just that lots of people who don't love their cars would still be fucked without them.  @Unabart @sandofsky it's ok with my car (sandero II) and my current phone (s21, it wasn't with my s7 though) @Unabart @sandofsky Clever engineers will provide the console in a 45°-orientation. @tewe @sandofsky Hey everybody. Please take me out of this conversation. I can’t seem to be able to mute it. I don’t use polarized glasses and am uninterested in the science behind it. Thanks! @Unabart @sandofsky This depends on the direction of polarization. The LCD panels that replace vertical advertising boxes at bus stops (at least here) have their polarizers turned by 90 degrees relative to normal displays due to the panels being mounted vertical instead of horizontal. @Unabart @sandofsky Never had problems with seeing any LCD in a car and I'm using polarized sunglasses for about 10 years now. They all seem to be at a 30-60° angle so that they can be watched from horizontal and vertical. |
@Unabart @sandofsky thankfully I do not need a car. Lucky me.
BTW this reminds me of the movie They Live
