My polarised sunglasses have the magical added feature of adblocking.

This is the #AugmentedReality future I need. #AR

@johnlynch it's not me, then. It's normal not to be able to see on such screens when wearing sunglasses...

@sabrinaweb71

Those glasses are themselves polarized to avoid reflection. If their polarization axis isn't the same of that of your sunglasses this happen

@johnlynch

@levpetrovitch @johnlynch yes, but since I normally see *any* screen like the one on the third picture when I'm outside, even with brightness over 80%, I've always thought it was me (and this is the reason why I still use a basic phone in 2023). When I first saw those pictures I thought "oh, maybe it's not me, it's because I always wear sunglasses outside".
Then I made a test wearing sunglasses indoor and looking at a screen. And now I know it's really me
@sabrinaweb71 @levpetrovitch @johnlynch It doesn't matter what the brightness is, if the light from the screen is polarized in the "wrong" direction with respect to your glasses, the screen will appear black.
