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.
it is phenomenonal in direct sunlight.
there has been some flak about its privacy policy... but make your own decisions
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
Your privacy policy does not seem to be L0la congruent—but what do I know.
