If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be? (vger.social)

LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.

    Connected to this: Bluetooth headphones do not need, and never needed, a flashing LED while they’re in use. I would regulate this harshly.

    Same, all my electronics look like abominations of electric tape, it's the only way I can have them not light up my room at night.

    Did you try just shutting off the current?

    Right. Gonna do that with the humidifier

    That I need

    To make my room bearable during drought season

    Or the split AC.

    That I also need

    To make my room bearable during summer.

    Can you see how that would be a problem?

    People who make electric devices are putting blinding blue LEDs in a million places they do not and will never belong.
