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.
It technically has got that setting, but sometimes I’ll do a weird shift or do something that requires me to sleep when it would otherwise be on. I don’t want it permanently off because if I pick it up and look under I can still see the light if I need to and that’s quicker than changing settings in the app.
The tape works and you can’t see it, so I have no need to do it in software.
