Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉

I have a microphone that when plugged into my computer, even if the computer is sleeping, shines a bright blue light that cannot be covered up without removing the sticker covering the screws holding the mesh in, so I just put a pair of socks on top of it as a ‘temporary’ solution

Black electrical tape works really well to temporarily cover LEDs.

Edit: I feel unoriginal… The very next comment I read also suggested black electrical tape. That’s why I should just lurk like always :/

Edit2: it feels like every other comment suggests electrical tape. At least I am not the only unoriginal lemming.

I should specify - I would need to cover the whole microphone to block the LED as the LED is inside (picture)

Judging by all the comments, I’m definitely not the only one with this pet peeve. 😅

I have black electrical tape over most led indicators. It’s stupid because now I can’t tell the battery charge on a lot of devices, but I hate the involuntary nightlights everywhere.

I use white electrical tape. It drastically reduces the light brightness but allows enough though to know the light is on.

You can get tape that’s not clear nor is it completely opaque.

You can find dark colored “clear” style tape.

Alternatively, take a sharpie to some Scotch tape. Color to preference.

Is it because blue is the newest of the LED colours and so as the last to be made is still considered “new” and “fancy” by manufacturers?

“Modern”

I remember when everything used red LEDs, especially alarm clocks. It was nice.

The slimline AV receiver I bought for the bedroom has a fucking blue LED standby light. I had to put a piece of electrical tape over it.
