    Boat Mode needs to be a thing, I don’t know what it does but I want it.

      It unlocks your screen rotation settings and links screen orientation to the phones gyroscopic sensor to maintain orientation perpendicular to the horizon.

        It’d be like the phone equivalent of Linux’s diagonal monitor orientation, only now the touch screen experience is beyond fucked.

        Strangely enough this might work for round smart watches though.

        Yeah, now I want boat mode too!

          In my experience, the human form of “Boat Mode” means drunk. A drunk person with a wobbly mobile device sounds like sad fail tiktok content.

        Brilliant! I’d use that as Carsick Mode myself. Maybe then I could read a map in the passenger seat without hurling into the driver’s lap.
