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

    This feels like one of those small innovations that will become a marker of quality once somebody thinks about them for a while. Someone will figure out how to make the perfect indicator visible in a dark-ish environment without emitting much light otherwise, or some other way to confirm something is charging and it’ll become the way you can tell which electronics are expensive. I, for one, can’t wait. My fiber box is wrapped in so much tape you could drop it from a tall building and it’d be just fine.

      I wonder if just like a super small piece of like color e-ink display might work right.

      Off it’s just white but on it becomes a red square. Doesn’t have to emit light but could add a gentle backlight but you can see it from pretty much any angle and it would be immediately identifiable.

        Bonus points if it says something useful on that tiny piece – like a battery charge percentage or volume level.
