It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.


I classify this as a repair.

    When super bright LEDs became a thing they felt they needed to put them in everything. “It is new!” I went into my home office to get something and didn’t turn the light on and wondered what the blue glow in it was. It was an LED in a monitor telling me it was plugged in. My wife has me put black tape over leds on things like usb hubs because they are blindingly bright.

    Don’t get me started on leds flashlights that all have multimode including rapid flashing so when the battery connection is poor, like when the flashlight gets old, if there is a split second break in power it switches to rapid flashing. Just what I need when trying to get around in the dark.

      Or even worse, bike headlamps.

        bike headlamps.

        i’d love to hear your complaints. mostly so if i’ve got something wonky with my bike i can fix it. i’m not trying to blind anyone with that damn thing, just make sure both i can see and be seen. mine’s got less than half the luminosity of a car headlight, so we might be talking about different types of headlamps tho. some people get nuts with their headlamps.
