Like if I’m watching a YouTube video and it’s 4:3, I’m perfectly fine with YouTube filling the sides with ads

Look at the photo in the OP. The ads are on a completely separate (attached) display.

What's keeping me from just putting drapes over it?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Haha, probably nothing

There's a proximity sensor to detect if the screen is covered.

Unless the sensor is built into the display that's be pretty easy just to cut a hole for it.

Oh, my bad. I heard about this before, I knew it was 720, but I completely missed the part where it has an attached display not to mention can't see the picture. /s

Come on now.

I meant in general, like on other devices.
