But why the hate for blue light? When you look at this on the manufacturer's web page they advertise that like preference wouldn't be nice. ”100% amber”, "blue free!”, gross! I won't be doing that for any reason.
If someone else wants amber, fine but why not an option?
It's a misinterpretation of the work underpinning f.lux.
We went from "avoid blue light after sundown to help keep your natural circadian rhythm" to "blue light bad! Buy this product!"
Now we're too far down that path with customers specifically avoiding devices that give off blue light whether or not they understand why. Companies like that are just taking the safe bet by avoiding blue light
I've heard that, but I still think the amber light is disgusting and gross, I'm not buying a device that only has that.
I even recently broke my old Kindle, I'd already heard of daylight computer tablets but the amber light was a main factor and why I just bought another Kindle. I would like high FPS and fully unlocked Android, but all I really needed was some way to read a bunch of digital books. The new Kindle also has an Amber mode, but I keep it off I like the blue light I think green would be better) fall asleep reading just fine.
The device does have white LEDs too. So you can adjust the color temperature. It is just that most of the marketing materials are done to highlight the amber display feature.
I have learned to not buy devices and software for features that are counter to those marketed.
If I bought this there would inevitably be a patch that blocked the blue backlight functionality as a concession to some nonsense like class action lawsuit over the existence of blue light as an option. or some new manager wants to "simplify". or something else.
