[HN] We Ruined Status LEDs; Here’s Why That Needs to Change
(hackaday.com)
Agree with all of that. Blue LEDs, especially, have gotten way out of hand, and manufacturers have got to tone it down.
They do love bright blue LEDs in wireless chargers. I opened mine up and de-soldered the LEDs, they don't really serve any purpose anyway as you can see on the phone screen if its charging or not!
Did you have to put anything in its place, or did you just remove it?
I thought I'd have to put something in place but it still worked afterwards lol
