I have to agree with you. I have tape over numerous items in my bedroom that would otherwise cause too much light at night.
Yah agree with your rant but black electric tape was my solution too.
For what it's worth, I have a fan that lets you turn off the LED lights, even from the remote control for the fan. /shrug
I have black bicycle tape for this exact reason.
Bright LED's are unnecessary. Hell, most LED's are unnecessary.
i agree. tho the blue light thing is blown a bit out of proportion. The luminance just isnt high enough considering how much blue light the sun emits.
The thing that helps the most with sleep is turning down the brightness of your phone to minimum for when u in the dark and trying to sleep. Or just dont use it lol.
my steam deck has this annoying retina burning white led that turns on while its charging, shit lights up my entire room, and i have a huge room, thankfully it can be turned off in its bios
my monitor also has this feature to turn it off... i hope more companies put in a feature to turn it off
Some weeks ago I purchased a new keyboard and did'nt realized that there is a ridiculously bright charging LED in top that shines right in your eyes.
In the end in my lazy manner I fixed it with electrical tape. It even shines trough the black tape.
Wow I had no idea this bothered so many people! I’ve had to learn to love with it myself since I had kids, damn night lights everywhere and white noise machines and all that crap. So it doesn’t bother me as much anymore but my god I can’t wait until they’re grown enough to cut all that crap out.
Agreed. Everything I've bought in the last few years has a layer of electrical tape covering the lights.
I agree it sucks.
it's like living in Tron. it's not as cool as I thought it would be when I was a kid.
