Let me guess — you're american? It's really unfortunate how US is inaccessible without a car. Thank god, Europe is very different.
@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.
@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 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.
@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!
