    Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that’a slowly filling with water.

      Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn’t mean they should take them as bright as they can go.

      That sucks, but you can put some isolation tape on LEDs.

      But I wish something horrible to those who thought it’s a great idea to make every goddamn electronic device make beeping noises.

      My water boiler, fan, washing machine. In my childhood I don’t remember everything beeping at every interaction. It makes me furious and you often cannot fully disable it.

      Once I tried to solder the beeper out but my soldering iron was probably not suitable so I failed :(

        You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that’s 100% mutable.

        I also hate this.

        The beeping! My damn air fryer has to let everyone in the neighborhood know that I’m making food at 3:00 am, I hate it so much

        Gonna ignore the fire alarm someday because I’ll just assume someone is air frying something
