    Why the fuck would they not just make the bottom of the brightness slider set that level?

    Thanks. I hate it.

    Instead…

    1. Have a shaded zone at the left of the brightness bar (which most people will have auto-managed).
    2. If the user drags into this zone auto-brightness is suppressed and the user can select an amount of extra dim.
    3. If the user drags out of this zone, and auto-brightness is enabled, allow to take over. Otherwise use the brightness at the users point of release.

    No need for a magic setting. Brightness control is all in one place.
