I got a HDD dock from startech.com. It works great and does everything I need. The problem is it has the brightest goddamn blue LED I have ever seen. It is so unnecessarily bright. My eyes hurt looking in the same direction as it. What the fuck should I do? Return it? De solder the stupid ass LED? It works great aside from this one issue.
Edit: I opened the thing and drew with sharpie on the LED. It’s bearable to look at now.
Yes but also I’ve just put electrical tape over many an item.
The RGB craze is the worst.
Last pc i built i had 1 hard request, “I don’t want a damn xmas tree in my pc.” girl laughed and the only light is from the heat sync :(
Amen. I do love LEDs since their dawn and have a big-ass collection. But on every single stupid computer thing? I don’t wanna pay extra just because my mouse can have stupid rgb-lights. Or my damn RAM. It adds absolutely nothing, costs more and has another part that will go broke.
I hate the rgb-craze…
One my Xbox controller’s light is so bright it could power our solar-panels. I had to put multiple Band-Aids on it 🫤
Yeah it sucks that I sleep in the same room as my computer. It’s damn near impossible to find a case without RGB.
Should be possible to just not plug them in.
But I have no idea why they are there in the first place.
