This light sometimes blinks green. Sometimes it blinks orange. What does it mean? Who knows.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoIt's either an Ethernet port light or one of those cryptic things from AliExpress without a manual. ---- There was once someone who knew. It did have a useful purpose at one point for expert users, technicians, and engineers. A large group came along chanting "What does it mean?" louder and louder until it was a thunderous war-cry. The one who knew was trying to shout the answer but he was whispering in a tornado. Then, someone else said loudly: "I don't understand. Let's just get rid of it." Most everyone said: "Yeah! It's useless!" No one listened and now that that understanding is lost like the Antikythera mechanism and Damascus steel to the sands of time.
- cratermoon 5y agoWhat does everything need to have a little blue or red LED now? <engage grumpy old man>... I am pretty strict about not letting any electronic devices into my bedroom because when I turn the lights out to go to sleep I don't want to see a constellation of LEDs, some blinking. The blue ones are the worst, for lots of reasons. My phone goes face down or in the nightstand drawer. I got a new window a/c unit a couple of years ago and it has LEDs and a remote control with an LED that blinks. Stop it already.
