Anyone here who can recommend a foil or something to put on my screen to actually be able to see things when working in the sun?

you can look into anti-glare films, but it's more of an issue with how LCD/LED screens work and you'll never be able to use one in direct sunlight. the same reason you can't see the beam of a weak flashlight at midday outside.

sun too stronk

*screams internally*

It's called....stronk blindness.

there is this: nostr:nprofile1qqswhhhf99z77pfg80s2c00z27rusxn2tzss7450n34krkwa2yadhtgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuerkv36zuer9wcq3vamnwvaz7tmpw5h8yetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un8lpntld

it is phenomenonal in direct sunlight.

there has been some flak about its privacy policy... but make your own decisions

E Ink is the way

Not to be a pain in the ass, but Daylight is not e-ink. I have both device/screen types and they are very different.

Oh I didn't know that. Not a PITA comment at all!

Sunglasses?

that just makes everything more dark lmao

How about some with polarised lenses?

Have you ever looked at a standard LCD through polarized lenses? ⬛️

Yes. Looks fine to me!

Big umbrella!

I use a big open box to place on my desk and create shade over the laptop when I work outside 🤍

Not sure what kind of work you are doing but look for a device with an E Ink display

There is anti Glare screen protector , but nothing would compare to actual shade , get a laptop sun shade

Finding a laptop computer to able to be read in full sunlight has been a pursuit of mine for many years. The only thing that comes close is using a separate e-ink monitor, but that technology just has not advanced enough. The e-ink fails my simple needs of writing computer code and being able to read it on the screen; aliasing, ghosting, and slow refresh rates are the problems with these displays. Be sure to watch some video reviews to make a informed decision.

The only solution I am aware of for a modern computer operating in sunlight is daylight computer. Screen is excellent. I am not sure I am happy with the direction daylight software stack is going.

What has you concerned? They seem to be at least saying the right things, e.g. obsidian support, somewhat de-googled,at/will support alternate OSes, etc.

If you don’t need color, the daylight could be an option
