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.

Getting flashbanged (minus the bang, usually but not always) by my electronics is helping me build up an immunity to riot control devices. Combine it with my cooking and it's good training for pepper spray, tear gas and vomiting agents as well.

If you have all the lights on, that one little light won't bother you as much because your pupils aren't dilated.
