I had just assumed those were supposed to be visible. Like the lights the Xbox Kinect had.

But if they aren't, that's annoying lol. Same deal with hearing the high pitch frequency old CRTs would emit.

The CRT thing is pretty common I think, you just lose your high frequency hearing as you age.

The high pitch squeals just move to inside your head.

Ugh this has become very true as I’ve aged :’(

I lost it at a Cypress Hill concert

[-] Zikeji@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I was using it as an example of annoying things fitting around the same niche lol.

Its not intentional as much as it is a cost savings
