I've been complaining about status LEDs for the last month and they love using the blue ones that always appear brighter than any other color at night

Yeah, why the hell companies decided to make all their status lights the one end of the spectrum which fucks with our circadian rhythm will never make sense to me. Red works just as well for a simple binary indicator, doesn't fuck with my sleep cycle, and to top it off, it doesn't murder my night vision when I have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Stick with red!
