I have tape or marker covering all the blue lights that I can. So many small electronics have piercing blue LEDs and I just cannot deal. Bring back the old ruby red console lights please!
I will say though that new phones NEED to start including the LED indicator. I actually hate how I can't just glance at my phone and tell if I have a voicemail, text message, missed call, and/or email waiting. Now I have to pick the thing up, turn on the screen, look at what it is, and actively choose to ignore it.
It's a lot more work.
AMOLED Alway On Displays are your friends. My phone shows the time, battery charge and notification icons, very dimly, everything else is pitch black. It's better than the blinking led ever was. It sits on the table, if it vibrates, I look at it and decide if it is important or not based on the icon that shows up, then I ignore it anyways.
The problem is, I don't want a screen always on. I just want the option to have a blinky light.
My Pixel 2 XL had it. I miss it after switching to the Nord n200
My wife always puts black nail polish on those little shits. I love her
Electrical tape ftw, but I have also just snipped off the red LEDs of my old sound card. And I've spray painted the metal chassis black. Man I hate Creative so much.
wait until you learn about the Rgb soundcard
Lord, I had a cheap PA system for band practice with a blue power LED that felt like it was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.
So I put some duct tape on it.
Then it felt like the light from under the duct was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.
