    This photo is a perfect example of why blue LEDs are shitty.

    Stop using bight-as-fuck blue LEDs piercing my retinas in the dumbest places.

      Blue LEDs were a technological breakthrough that took decades of work to create and enabled pretty much all modern tech.

        Blue LEDs are great for when you need something blue in particular, but the color is piercing and way too bright. Then they are used as the default without any consideration for any other color.

        They are shitty in how they are used, rather than their individual abilities and functions.

        That doesn’t change the fact they are used in situations where they shouldn’t. I don’t like being blinded by a bright piercing blue light all the time.

    Tried this trick. Almost immediately lost 40% of my charge capacity. Would not attempt again.

      Merely as a middle step, it still goes down to 55, but then it improves dramatically. I think it even becomes sentient and friendly. After a few hours, it says “hi”
