Knees are FUBAR but I don't like to mention it

There is using the companion app, although one guy in our group "accidentally" deployed it rather than binning it

You can, but only on the Companion app.
I've only ever used a burrito successfully once. On a Crit City green cone of shame race, I was in second with a lap to go, a few seconds lead on a pack of 3-4 riders and about 10 secs behind the guy who'd jumped off the front a few laps before me. He then got green coned and I started chasing him down - as I came up to pass him, I didn't want him to sit on my wheel, so I hit the burrito PU just as I was about to overtake and despite his surge, he wasn't able to keep up with me. Ended up winning by just under a second from the chase group.

Here's a short section of video from last night (not posting the full thing, it's a bit dull once I get dropped) showing what it was that made me call certain other riders various rude names!

First burrito (45 seconds in) is a pointless drop - we're both trying to chase down the group in front that we've got distanced from at the sprint, so by burrito-ing me, he's actually caused both of us to struggle. The second one (2:45 mark) I can understand why he's done it, but it's still an a*sehole move - I've spent tons of energy getting back to the group and just as I'm about to get there, he stops me from drafting so I have to expend even more energy.

HUD?

I meant head up display, all the information on a screen. You can now turn off all the data on a screen now.

Is that just Windows, or ATV too?
Saying that, i like the info so i'm unlikely to turn it off

For now it's only for PC, Mac and Android and later it will be IOS and Apple TV as well.
I would like to do a test ride just for feel just watching elapsed time from the clock and see end of the ride is my feels and data matched. Little bit like traveling back to days when there wasn't heart rate monitor and bike computers.

I’ve just had a tiny spin and checked it out. It’d be nice if you could customise different levels of HUD information and use this functionality to toggle between them, but I don’t suppose that’s going to happen any time soon!

I believe this is been a features list for awhile as well. For me this hide display mode is a 1 step closer to realism. Now i can ride more like irl, watching data from companion app, what is now like my Garmin Edge on a handlebar when i ride irl and now Zwift can run without data fields if you like that way.
RGT does this and it's a nice feature.
