Christian SeligI will never understand this phenomenon
Luna Dragofelis ΘΔ moved to @@christianselig I think it might be that anti-glare is a formal health&safety requirement for workplace monitors, and manufacturers decided "welp, let's just make all monitors that way"
@LunaDragofelis How would it be a health and safety requirement haha
@christianselig Glare can be pretty terrible if the angle of the sun is bad, and employees don't always have much control over their sitting position, angle or sunlight ingress, so they need the government to protect their health and safety against their boss who might give zero fucks about their subordinates' comfort at work.
@LunaDragofelis I dunno, I worked at Apple and they had all glossy monitors in the office I worked, and I feel like if there was any evidence of anti-glare monitors protecting people from sun damage, and especially if the gov implemented it, they would be following it. If that was a thing phones would be blinding everyone if they used it outside lol
@christianselig It might not apply in California.
@LunaDragofelis Do you have a link showing anywhere that it's applied?
@christianselig I was just guessing.
