  • OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the “best” are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn’t notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the “best” one - if I’m going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I’m not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.






  • It seemed to be a hardware issue - the blue light on the controller was out until I removed and replaced it. It’s too much of a coincidence for me though that I just happened to have this hardware issue at the time when the software that uses that hardware was being updated.

    I use Vendor/Product ID to access it:

    # lsusb
    Bus 002 Device 005: ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x UART Bridge
    Bus 002 Device 004: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1a86:55d4 QinHeng Electronics 800 Z-Wave Stick
    ...
    
    
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'>
          <source>
            <vendor id='0x1a86'/>
            <product id='0x55d4'/>
          </source>
          <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/>
        </hostdev>
    


  • I feel that this battle is lost. Many of the cars that blind me are newer models with (presumably) the headlights they came from the factory with. Yes, the lifted redneck trucks with ill adjusted LED “bulbs” in reflectors that were made for halogens, are worse - but not a lot.

    As long as design regulations allow it, they will build it. So, anyone wanting to do anything about this should focus their energy on lobbying their relevant government agency.

    Maybe someone might invent night driving glasses that can filter the particularly annoying wavelengths.
