CES 2022: Kensington Launching Privacy Screens for MacBook Pros With Notch

[MikeDr206]

I don't know what privacy screens are for. I saw a manager using one once and she was a paranoid nut. No stranger is going to read your screen from a 45% angle and both to remember everything you wrote. You can shout 'I"m going to rob a bank' in the middle of a busy room and people won't give a damn.

Airplanes. Possibly coffee shops. I travel often from Seattle, in First Class. I’ve seen quite a bit of PowerPoint presentations being worked on by Microsoft and Amazon people in the row in front of me. If I were a competitor or a blogger, you can be damn certain I’d be taking pictures.

my favorite tho was an attorney who spent a two hour flight working on a one paragraph email to a client. She used a large font, and kept on changing words and rewriting things for no reason whatsoever from my perspective (and I’m an attorney too).

I sent a text to attorney and consultant friends of mine — found the whole thing funny. One replied, “no way.” I took two pictures over the course of 30 minutes and shared it with them.

if reported and identified, this attorney probably would be subject to disciplinary actions by the bar. Not a suspension, but definitely a censure.

Some people openly, legally film in public places, and if you are one of those people who have your MacBook in the open for work or other reasons, the onus is on the user to create privacy if they don’t want their information in ‘open view’. This would be a small investment if needed.

Flew so many times I can't count it. I don't think anyone gives a **** what I'm reading or typing. Why are you taking photos of people's screens?

I suspect a photo is faster and easier than writing everything down on paper. You might as well ask why a shoplifter wore jncos. Even thieves want to be efficient.

Would be so nice to be able to watch porn on the train

I already have a notched privacy filter exactly like this that I bought on amazon. Works great. I use it for working on flights. I am required to use it when working on sensitive projects.

Hope it is priced sensibly.

Really I can't understand how much this world could seems dumb.
Decades ago everyone of us millennials became blind in 15" CRT/TFT monitor for desktop pc/Mac, then we became blind with 12/14/15" TFT/LCD monitor on portable pc/Mac, now we're searching of make blind our children with 12" monitor on desktop replacement for tablet.
I don't know if anyone of us became blind, but I'm sure most of us became dumb.
Years ago we work on 15" Cinema Display, then on 21/23 and (richest among us)30" Cinema HD Display, then 27" Apple Display (with mirror screen), now we must spent hours to use a tablet (something build to use a little bit different respect a desktop monitor 45") like a desktop replacement.
Believe me, our children seen us like we seen decades ago grand parents going crazy with Atari.
I hopes millennials will be a little more smart than previous gens, but it seems me we are the black hole of humanity.

I don't understand anything of this, but I do wonder what this has to do with a privacy shield (a film like object you put above your screen to make it unreadable to people around you for privacy purposes).

I think I've deciphered the word salad enough to figure out that they're saying:
"*old monitors were small and were ruining our eyes
*monitors were getting bigger
*I don't like that we work on smaller screens on mobile devices now a lot of the time even though big desktop screens exist, and that ruins our eyes
*I think this privacy shield makes it worse, we're going to ruin our children's eyesight as a result"

I mean, all of it's bunk really, but I think I've at least deciphered it
