Thought this was going to be a more specific complaint about computer hardware/accessories. So much of the high end stuff is just littered with bullshit RGB lighting. Coolers, GPUs, keyboards, mice, monitors, case fans, even fucking RAM sticks! It's insane.
For general appliances my complaint wouldn't be the single LED on it but the brightness. Like you I cover up the bright ones with electrical tape. It wouldn't even cost them any extra money to make it lighter. Just requires a different resistor value.
For some fucking reason we went from a nice minimalistic design in pcs to all the colors of the rainbow and then some. Like, who cares what it looks like, what matters is the performance it gets...
At least most of that can be turned off in settings somewhere.
Bought a neat closed-loop watercooling cpu heatsink that has a whole dang programmable screen on it if I pay a monthly thing, or solid colors if I don't. defaults to cycling through the rainbow. But it has an off mode, so I'm A-OK with none of that.
Yeah you can usually turn it off, but it's still annoying.
I bought a mechanical keyboard that I otherwise really like. But it came with full RGB on it. I can disable the rainbow pattern it does by default with the software, but the manufacturer cheaped out and didn't include onboard memory for settings. I didn't realize this would ever be an issue so I didn't look for it when buying... The end result is that every time my computer turns on, my keyboard looks like it's trying to summon a leprechaun, and that only stops once Windows has loaded the software up in the background.
It's a problem, but a pretty funny one, to me. Mine does the same thing, startup is full rainbow, then it settles.
There's an even cheaper solution for manufacturers that's practically free, just put a more opaque plastic over it.
I don't mind it in a computer because the rbg makes the ram go faster 😂
But in all seriousness it bothers me less in computers because they are only on when the machine is on, so turning it off fixes the problem. Those are deliberately there to make an asthetic, so I understand it.
But the indicator lights on power strips and shit like that don't do anything
