Made my computer screen orange and unreadable. Disabled (or obscured pointer?) my blue tooth mouse. I uninstalled.
I see that Windows 10 has a night/blue light setting. I turned that on and it’s much better. Thanks for the post, though, as I didn’t know such a thing existed.
Seems that blue light setting is new. That it just came in w the new creators update for windows ten.
You are welcome. I have to wash out the blue at night. Can’t get by without it now. Flu.x that is.
Cool Apple story! I wish I heard about f.lux years ago. I was always dimming my monitor when night came but filtering out the blue light is better by magnitudes.
Haven’t tried Flu.x, but it’s a good idea: I use DarkReader. I also like that it can replace the fonts selectively. I find flare-tip fonts are easy to read like sans-serif, but better for white-on-black than. They’re not more commonly used, because they require very high screen resolution, and just as ultra-high-res screens became the norm on computers, people started using handheld devices. (Right now, I’m set to quicksand font, which isn’t flared, but has very rounded letters.)
The only problem is that DarkReader occasionally makes pictures into negatives.
I have been using f.lux for several years.
I frequently use my laptop in the living room while watching TV in the evenings. f.lux helps tone down the bright-whiteness of the screen.
Thus, when it kicks in, I no longer suffer from white privilege. Libs should be happy. :)
(Dark reader doesn’t filter out blues, it simply changes dark-on-light writing to light-on-dark, generating about 90% less light.)
OK, that’s funny right there! LOL
Good to know. I have a HP Spectre and it has a lit keyboard which is excellent and W10 has a night light feature as well, but I don’t like the W10 nightlight feature that much...
What do you think of this? How can we find out if it is insidious or contains malware?
