Big Charging doesn't want you to know this one simple weird old trick

Does not work with the cybertruck.
- That's because you did it wrong. You have to do the Roman salute.
  
  Like this?
- That's just one data point. We need a few hundred teslas flipped to make any sense of this.
Tried this trick. Almost immediately lost 40% of my charge capacity. Would not attempt again.
- Merely as a middle step, it still goes down to 55, but then it improves dramatically. I think it even becomes sentient and friendly. After a few hours, it says “hi”
This photo is a perfect example of why blue LEDs are shitty.
Stop using bight-as-fuck blue LEDs piercing my retinas in the dumbest places.
- The most energy efficient kind of light emitting semiconductor junction is the one that emits blue light.
  This being a battery bank and assuming that 2x7 segment LED display is always ON, maybe the choice of color for it was driven by that (and price, since that numerical display is far cheaper than even lower power solutions like e-ink) above usability.
  
  Exactly, blue LEDs are cheaper. So, shove them in everything, even if another color or no light at all makes more sense.
- Blue LEDs were a technological breakthrough that took decades of work to create and enabled pretty much all modern tech.
  
  Blue LEDs are great for when you need something blue in particular, but the color is piercing and way too bright. Then they are used as the default without any consideration for any other color.
  They are shitty in how they are used, rather than their individual abilities and functions.
- Without blue LEDs we wouldn't have LED lighting
  
  That doesn't change the fact they are used in situations where they shouldn't. I don't like being blinded by a bright piercing blue light all the time.
  
  White LED is blue LED with a facemask
I do the same when looking at my checking account.
genius
Who down votes a shit post? I mean, it's supposed to be kinda dumb, right?
