Hmm. Maybe it’s because I’m on mobile and it just redirects to the app

No issues using Mullvad

Right. Otherwise what, just like wipe it with a wet paper towel? Idk if that would do the trick a lot of the time.

Honest question: How do you go about cleaning/caring for a large wooden board like this after daily use? I have a petty large butcher block board (nowhere near as nice as this one) that barely fits into my sink - but I’m able to clean it with the detachable sink nozzle. But I still find myself placing a smaller plastic board on top of it 95% just because it’s waaay easier to clean.

As far as I know, yes some do - but I have also seen some that don’t have nearly as drastic affect on the colors you look at.

Take this with a grain of salt because I don’t know a ton about light filtering glasses, but I’m pretty sure that some of the more “color accurate” ones work by having polarizing lenses that don’t allow certain wavelengths of blue light through the lenses. Whereas the more sepia-tinted ones just apply that sepia tone filter across the lenses. Still, neither one totally blocks all of the blue light because that would drastically alter the viewing experience to make it unpleasant/unviewable. Try going into your monitor’s color settings and setting B all the way to 0 and see how it fucks up all the other, non-blue colors.

I believe the general guidance is high quality filtering glasses > software solutions. But I would only worry about it if it’s an actual problem that you struggle with. I personally run f.lux every night at sundown, but it’s on a very mild setting that you wouldn’t really notice unless you toggle it on and off.

Blue is the B in RGB. It’s an essential wavelength used by RBG or RGBW (which includes white pixels) displays in order to accurately reproduce the various colors we want to look at. They are carefully blended together to reproduce billions of different colors.

Blue light has a higher frequency than red or green light, so prolonged exposure can be fatiguing on the eyes. But this usually requires many, many hours of screen time over many days - which I suppose is quite common for a lot of people. There are other factors which arguably contribute more to eye strain though such as uneven backlight strobing which can be an issue for lower quality displays.

The reason you can’t just turn the blue light off is you wouldn’t be able to accurately produce a ton of colors. Even if you aren’t necessarily viewing something with a ton of blue color in it at the time, removing all blue light from the equation would alter most of the other colors that you ARE looking at. There are software solutions such as f.lux that try to reduce strain by lowering blue light and compensate by raising “gentler” wavelengths, but they produce a visibly warmer, more yellowed effect which can be less than ideal in some scenarios.
