I think we should also have a review on non-functional (decorative) LEDs on the gadgets we buy, especially those cheap chargers that decide to light up the whole room with blue.
Tbh I think we need laws about them to get this shit to stop.
It's objectively bad for people's health to be surrounded by bright light at night, because it impacts your ability to sleep.
All for regulation of products but I don't think LEDs are something that need to be regulated
Well they do, because of the reason that was just given.
you can't just say something is "objectively bad". if it's objectively bad, that means it's provably bad. so where's the proof?
as far as i'm aware there's no science that says LEDs at the brightness typically found on consumer electronics have any negative health benefits. regulations should be based on more than just the opinions of some random guy on lemmy.
I should market a black adhesive tape as a health product.
I'm as progressive as the next guy and generally love the nanny state (who hates their nanny!?!) but this seems like something I'd like to have the choice to control - plus every appliance will just change to say 'dont place in areas that are light sensitive' or will just remove all functionality (a la "oh crap my phone hasn't been charging cuz the plug died and I had no idea")
