I’ve been on budget flights where in flight infotainment was an app on your phone that connects to a media server on the plane itself. Everyone was using Bluetooth and there are no issues.

I’ve been on budget flights where the in-flight infotainment was an app on your phone which connects to a media server on the plane. Everyone was watching with Bluetooth headphones and there were no issues.

Also consider smart watches.

Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?

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.

No help necessary. Leave it as an advanced option and provide those who request assistance a cheap pair of 3.5 mm headphones. SOLVED.

Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.

1. Wire gets caught in my limbs because the seating area is so tight.

2. Wire jack is tucked up from people pulling headphones at odd angles. Wortsst case scenario (has happened to me): the jack is inoperable, incapable of holding headphones without continuous, upwards pressure.

3. No active noise canceling (you might still be able to find ANC wired headphones but they are a niche product if they still exist).

4. An extra item to pack, since my phone requires a dangle to use 3.5 mm headphones, so I either pack a dangle, or another pair of headphones for using with my phone.

Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero

I’m sorry you’re not able to appreciate hifi sound but that’s a a you problem.

People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero

Those sound like shit compared to the expensive pair of wireless ear buds that I already own.

I’m thinking you’ll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.

Of course I’m fine. But what’s this nonsense about bothering air safety officers? Nobody is berating airline employees about bluetooth headphones lol.

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.

Preaching to the choir!

I’d also settle for releasing 3D models of out-of-production parts so they can be 3D-printed by enthusiasts.

Story time: in my second-gen Mazda Miata, I closed the centre console lid on a piece of cardstock by accident and it snapped the plastic piece that latches the lid shut. The part previously sold for ~$10 but they stopped producing it as a standalone part at some point and the only way to acquire it was to buy the $100 centre console lid assembly.

They do the same shit for Google search results. Search weather or stock tickers with a Chrome user agent* and you get a rich, interactive chart of the weather forecast or stock history. Search with another mobile user agent and you get a static snapshot of the weather or stock price at an instant in time.

There’s even an extension for Firefox for Android which changes the user agent for Google searches to Chrome, to get the rich content.

* just a user agent, not an actual browser, which proves that it isn’t about browser capability, but rather abusing their monopolistic market position in search to further their web browser’s market share. Sound familiar, Microsoft from the 90’s?
