the above comment was written by a person who’s lack of understanding of consent suggests they are almost certainly guilty of sex crimes.

- Comment on Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED 9 months ago:
Luckily my device screens can all be turned off, closed, put face down and otherwise turned off when not in use. Unlike indicator lights on the routers, APs, HDDs, PCs, mice, powerbars, extension cords, radios, headphones, USB cables, ACs, microwaves etc etc etc. Either totally unnecessary to have a light in the first place, or a subtle light could do the job just as well.
- Comment on Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED 9 months ago:
I freaking hate blue LEDs.
I actively avoid buying anything with a blue LED because they are so obnoxious. So bright. Why do I want to read by the light of my HDD? Does this video explain why they have to be like that?
Maybe if you have a separate wing of the mansion to do computing stuff it is not annoying. But if like a lot of people you have electronics in your living space, these lights are extremely disruptive.
It seems that can’t really be dimmed… I had to give up on a couple of blue backlit alarm clocks because there is no way that the time can be visible without illuminating the whole area around them.
For whatever reason, red is the best one. I would prefer another color aesthetically. For whatever reason, red is the only color that does what it has to do and nothing more.
- Comment on What are some ways I can increase the longevity of my gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion Slim 7 w/ RTX 4060)? 9 months ago:
Am not a gamer. But i made a sort of platform for my laptop to sit on to keep it being flush on a surface esp like couch or bed where no air goes in. I found a coated metal wire thingamagig thats the right size, and used zip ties to add stoppers so it doesn’t slide off. Im sure you can buy something like this instead of make it out of garbage like i did.
Anyways one of the really useful side benefits is that i can clip the power cord to the platform so that there is no tension on the connectors. My power outlets sometimes in the opposite direction from the connector and if i dont use the platform thing it is always pulling.

- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
why was Google able to find the answer to questions exactly like this 6+ years ago?
curious if there is any way to know for sure if this is the case? is there documentation of vague google searches over time to track their results? sort of seems like a “don’t know what you got til it’s gone” sort of thing for the average user. but maybe there is some academic work or industry publications to this effect?
We do have a good 10-20 years of every news story intro containing a line like “a google search for ‘spatula’ returns 2.5million results”. remember when journalists and other writers thought that just putting a single search term into a search engine was the way to conduct online research?
otherwise it is really just your recollection how it felt then vs now. i can’t comment on @merc@sh.itjust.works’s programing skills but the point about changing expectations is a good one. not to mention that the amount of available data has exploded.
