When I first moved into my studio apartment, I had a mission—no little lights! When I go to sleep, it should be completely dark.
Then I discovered that putting tape on my mouse's USB receiver interfered with the wireless connection.
Then I got a USB hard drive which has an LED along the top left corner, where tape won't stick.
Then I got a microwave which always displays the time when it's not in use, and if I cover up that display, I can't see the timer for my food.
And somewhere around there I gave up. It was impossible to tell before buying these products that they would come with lights, no one talks about this!
- kroltan 2y agoThat's exactly the advantage of sneakernet shopping, you can ask to see the product in operation.
- dhosek 2y agoI don’t know that I’ve ever seen a microwave offered for sale that was plugged in at the store at any store. Ditto for any consumer electronics other than TVs and computers (and I guess stereos). Maybe at Fry‘s they had the microwaves plugged in? I don’t remember.
- kroltan 2y agoYeah I don't think I ever saw one either, but at least over here you can bring it over to a counter, or request an employee to turn it on and test. Obviously not viable for evaluating continued operation for something like a fridge, but just turning it on for the panels is usually possible.
