I was stuck at one particular point in a game the other day. The first walkthrough I looked at said something like "proceed through the level". Fortunately the second had a much more helpful "when you get to the round room with the turbine, look up and find the breakable air vent".

Enshitification of the Bond films seems to now be inevitable. I’m so looking forward to a Bond film every 6 months

That Head Up Displays in cars do not work with polarising sunglasses.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Yes - just remembered that I had a problem with an iPad screen years ago. Only in one orientation though - for obvious reasons.

I guess it would be OK if you drove with your head tilted 90° to one side.

Interestingly, mine does work with the polarised sunglasses I'm wearing; yes, there is a bit of discolouration around the edges [stress pattern visibility]; but I can read it fine...

Then you only see the imaginary numbers on the display.

I'm pretty sure mine does though I'll need to go and check. I avoid polarising sunglasses though I do have one pair which I'm pretty sure I've used with the HUD.

It was a joke. 😉 It‘s designed to work with sunglasses in any case. 😎

In the BYD, the massive screen works just fine with polarised sunglasses - until you rotate it. Then it's just a big black slab in the middle of your dash.

Only obvious to physicists!

It would be a very sophisticated HUD if it displayed imaginary numbers.

Just thinking there could be a market for sunglasses with circular rotatable lenses. Then when you’re driving with a HUD you could temporarily rotate the lenses 90° to avoid the polarising that affects the HUD visibility. Then rotate ‘em back when you’re out of the car.
