why does everything have a fucking l.e.d on it these days?
i just bought a new emergency mouse due to my old one
imploding and it has a fucking l.e.d on the top. my mixer
has one that is constantly on unless you unplug it. what
purpose does that serve?

I usually cover them with black electrical tape, the new
people want shinny and glowy things.

I don't mind LEDs in general, its just the obnoxiously
bright ones that are stupid, IMO

my motherboard didn't have one ..i thought it was dead ..hit
it with a fridge which also didn't have one and we all lay
on the floor in parts and then we all woke up at the same
time and we were o.k but still no leds on us . i should have
one on my brain when i am prepared for conversations with
stupid humans..

Its part of the government conspiracy to shine cancer beams
at you to reduce the world population. Cheers to them I say.

small LEDs on computer components are useful to see if they
are dead, like on the motherboard, back of PSU, etc, but on
the mouse is just for show. LEDs give the illusion of
excellence. You know those old sci-fi films with the
computer with the big bank of lights. The only purpose is to
look good. If the computer was clever it would not need LEDs
to show what the hell it is doing at any given moment.

The reason LEDs are common now is that most appliances can't
be turned off except by pulling the plug. They have this
"standby" mode, where they need to have a LED to show you
they are ready to be used.

A lot of things have blue (hate them) LEDs which are of the
bright or even super bright varient (gaaahhh my eyes!). For
some reason the designers are clueless about these things.

our systems led's have an extra led for the led light that
tells me if the secondary led is broken (which is the one
that signifies whether or not the main led is operational
for notifying me if the circuit board which controls the
main led panel for informing me of any possible damage to
the led's which are in place for confirming the positive
status of all components/holders in the toilet roll refill
system in 'the hotel for the stars' here in Monaco...the
whole system actually only cost about 8 of your US dollars
to design and build (excluding cable) ...it sounds
incredible , i know! but it allows us to chill out and only
refill the rolls as and when needed so to not disturb our
guests.

Even NASA does not have this assurance on information
clarification ... as we know from previous missions.

I think a mouse with surgically-altered LED eyes would be
pretty cool. I mean, he'd be all blind and pathetic and
probably have a wire leading from his body to an external
power source, which in turn would mean he is not only blind
but tethered and unable to explore past the bounds of his
cabling, thus enhancing his pity-factor, unless by some
oversight in my imagination, his brains' own electrical
impulses would be enough to power the LED eyes, in which
case you'd have a mouse that is adept at bumping into things
and illuminating dark areas in the process.
