    From a technical standpoint it doesn’t matter which way something gets polarised. Trouble is that some manufacturers do it one way and others the other way. Which means that it’s not standardized. Having it be mandatory to do it one way and one way only for a given product would solve that issue because then it would be correct every time. Barring the one or other Monday where someone for some reason messes it up before noticing.

      Yeah, it’s bizarre that this isn’t something that’s been standardized yet. Things you look into should be polarized one way, and things you look out through should be polarized the other way.

      If the EU can sort out USB-C, maybe they can fix this mess, too.

      Instead of trying to standardize screens, standardize the glasses lens at 45°. Now every screen is half as bright but no screen is black. Assuming the manufacturers of the screens dont also decide to rotate their polarization to 45°
