Do you use f.lux? If not you should, gotta keep them eyes healthy :)
im using it right now
I don't, but I already keep my room well lit whenever I'm using my desktop
I wish I didn't have to close it everytime I want to play something by Frictional Games.
>>320798142
I just use my PC in a well lit room instead since I dont live with my parents.
Literal meme program
I had it a few months ago and I can't remember why I uninstalled it. I guess I'll download it again and find out.
I've tested it out but I actually really dislike Flux. I ended up uninstalling it and simply using the "warm" color theme on my monitor's control panel.
Basically, the problem with Flux is that I don't feel like having a dim, washed out screen when I'm browsing at night. I'd much rather have a constant slight dimness filter that isn't time sensitive.
I just use the dark themes for websites.
Only if I know I'm going to bed in the next hour or so and not playing a game.
>>320798142
>eyes healthy
there is no such thing as "eye strain" from looking at screens. your eyes being irritated does not mean they're being damaged.
I didn't even know this was a thing
This could either be really neat or really shit
>>320802280
it's a pink filter for your screen
it is based on evidence mostly a single kinda sketchy paper from some random journal
that evidence says that people who looked at blue lights were less tired than those who looked at red lights
f.lux itself hasn't ever been tested thoroughly
>>320799680
same
>>320802510
I'm actually playing around with it right now and it's made my screen piss yellow and it's made Yotsuba B hurt to look at
>>320798142
Saw someone complaining about how his eyeballs now get hurt when he turns it off.
If anything this makes your eyes weaker, fuck that.
All I find comfy is the Alt + Pg Dn/Up to darken the screen at night, it's really handy.
Also, speaking of essentials:
https://ninite.com/
>>320798142
Uninstalled almost immediately.
I guess if you just read a lot of text at night it's useful, otherwise it just makes everything look like piss.
Video Games
Been using it for years. You obviously notice the shift right at sunset, but after a minute you get used to it.
>>320802703
>>320802881
The first few nights I used it it was terrible. I kept at it and now my monitor is blinding if I try to turn it off at night. It really helps out a lot.
>hey man, nice picture you got, I can tell you spent time calibrating your monitor and GPU settings for the best picture possible on your setup
>but you know what that picture could *really* use? (^:',
Yeah, no. I relegated this shit to the realm of normies on macbooks long ago. I just use dark themes on everything I can, to the point where my screen is almost always at least 90% black.
>>320802703
just use tomorrow you fucking casual
ye, been using it for the past six months, it's pretty nice.
>>320803049
Like your soul?
>>320799680
This.
Yes I do, I have ever since I got my LED-backlit LCD display because it's so fucking bright
>>320803023
>>320803150
I'll probably try both of these out but I don't know how I'll feel about Tomorrow after using Yotsuba B for so long
I didn't even know you could change colours until a few years ago
>>320799680
yes
>>320803168
Yeah. It complements my tortured soul and anguished past, and doesn't hurt my eyes.
I only recently added a theme to Wikipedia because every time I accessed it it was like someone lobbed a flashbang in my room.
>>320803307
Tomorrow is shit. Yostuba B is the only good 4chan theme.
>>320802816
>All I find comfy is the Alt + Pg Dn/Up to darken the screen at night, it's really handy.
Woah, why didn't I know about that?
>>320803023
this, started using it regularly and now looking at it at any other monitor feels like i'm staring at the sun
>>320803049
This is what I do.
But some sites are retarded and dont have a black background
Either that or i cant find it on facebook
>>320803390
>tfw you realize you were subjecting your eyes to that shit for hours on end for years
>>320798142
Shit hurts my eyes. I cant see shit because my monitor is shit. removed.

>>320803446
>>320803546
Ya, I dont know if that site has a black background.
but a site like that just has to right? they're not retarded enough to think a bright white screen is nice.
>>320803368
Objectively trash opinion. Yotsuba Bfags can take a fat one. Tomorrow is master race.
>>320803023
This is true but I still use it since it feels like every other monitor is like pic related without f.lux.
Who /photon/ master race?

There is such a thing as your eyes being constantly strained and chronically dry as a result though, and these can translate into blurry vision and other symptoms.

Thanks OP.

You have to use it for a week before you can have an opinion on whether it works or not. It's not fucking instantaneous screen magic.

Do I have mega eyes or something or are you guys falling for this shit. I've always had 20/20 but I can't imagine that I'm some magic man with invincible eyes.
Never heard of this so I'm inclined to believe this is shitty marketing. But I'm giving it a shot anyways, I'll decide for myself whether it's shit or not.
>>320804582
>>320804667
If you do ANYTHING for long enough, you adjust to it. Retards.
It doesn't mean that it suddenly works now because you no longer notice that everything looks drowned in piss.
It just means you fucking got used to it looking that way.

>>320804792
Wouldn't maximum eye protection also require the room to be well lit?
why is it that twilight, a little android app, can let you set custom times and pause it, but f.lux MUST have a zip code and revolves around that, and requires shit like holding ctrl to switch ends and no way to pause it without having to right click>disable until sunrise? piece of shit software

the only problem I have with flux is that I can't decide if I want to watch anime in its true colors and burn my eyes, or watch it nice and warm and not feel tired
I like f.lux but holy shit if you ever stay up all night playing a video game, that fucking color shift at around 5am is just murder on your eyes. It goes to this horribly blue color
>>320804762
If you actually took the time to use it, you would notice that it actually makes a difference. The difference between a monitor with it on and without is like night and day. Your eyes will thank you.
>>320804907
i guess so but i'm not really going for eye protection, i just really hate light

I have actually used it, you retards.
All I got was a piss filter.
I felt no change at any point to my eyes, not that they felt bad anyway.
I bet you wear Gunners too.
>The difference between a monitor with it on and without is like night and day.
Yeah, real colors or yellow.
And it flips like a lightswitch at a specific time of the day so you're doing fuckin' whatever and then suddenly piss, or suddenly snowblind.
Fuckin' great. Thank you based f.lux
The program is trash and completely superfluous. There are other, more natural, less obtrusive solutions.

>>320805463
>And it flips like a lightswitch at a specific time of the day
>>320799680
yup
got twilight on my tablet set to the same color settings as flux default
>>320805463
>And it flips like a lightswitch at a specific time of the day
A specific time of the day that you set according to your routine.
Yes. I installed it 2 years ago. My eyes have not been strained at night in 2 years. So I recommend it highly.
>>320805463
1) you have to get used to it, after a couple of days it stops being so jarring
2) there's a setting to make the switch slower
>>320802703
when I use my screen at night forgetting that I turned off flux I turn it back on and feel an genuine release of pain leaving my eyes
bluefiltering works. eat shit
>>320805720
I used it years ago so if they changed that, then good on them.
But it should have always been a fade.
>>320805868
>you get used to it
That doesn't make it OK.
Like, I'm used to my cat puking all over my room but that doesn't mean it's OK that she keeps doing it.

>And it flips like a lightswitch at a specific time of the day
>Outing yourself this hard
>>320804752
Just as an update I don't know if it's just a plavebo or not but m eyes do feel "softer" kinda, "cooler" if that makes an sense.
You know, you autists could just open the blindfolds, turn on a lamp or two and not use your computer 3 in the morning.
>>320806038
Use it for like a week, maybe 10 days. After that, try using your monitor at night again with it off.
Can't you just put a tint on the screen or something? I remember seeing CRT monitors with these plastic things over the screen, I always assumed those were tints.
Why are normie sites so NEET-unfriendly? Browsing Facebook at night is like pouring acid into my eyes.
>>320806108
>open the blindfolds,
And burn my eyes with how bright my room is?
>>320806229
>at night
normie computers only run netflix at night
>>320806242
This probably means that you absolutely need to let the sun in.
>>320806108
>wasting electricity
>>320806401
Everything you keep plugged in is still using electricity while you don't use it.
Your computer sucks up so much more power than your lights that it's fucking negligible to have them on while you waste time on 4chan.
>>320806174
those were actually microwave radiation shields, they just had to be a certain color to actually work
>>320806525
>Everything you keep plugged in is still using electricity while you don't use it.
My lamp doesn't have any kind of closed circuit for electricity to run in if I don't turn it on.
>>320805962
>Like, I'm used to my cat puking all over my room but that doesn't mean it's OK that she keeps doing it.
Could you make a more retarded argument? Are you suggesting that nothing ever is worth doing if you have to get used to it first? Because if that's the case you wouldn't be staring a backlit LCD screen to begin with since you'd need to GET USED TO IT FIRST.
And you weren't even expecting this to happen. This is like walking into a cellar and complaining that you need to lower your head because the ceiling is too low.
>B-BUT THIS DOESN'T MAKE IT OK BECAUSE OF MUH RETARDED ANALOGY ;___;
>>320803691
F.lux definitely works.
I've had times where i woke up at 4am in the morning, shook the mouse of my computer to wake it up only to be greeted by a fucking portable sun in the middle of my room. Turning on flux and the screen slowly dims down, and i can actually look at the screen normally.
>>320806827
>Are you suggesting that nothing ever is worth doing if you have to get used to it first?
No, I'm saying that an unpleasant action doesn't suddenly get good when you become used to it.
>This is like walking into a cellar and complaining that you need to lower your head because the ceiling is too low.
That's not OK either.
I actually do live in a house where the entrances into the staircases are too low, so I might clock myself if I don't duck a little.
It should have been raised when it was built.
I'm not even that tall.
But I've gotten used to it.
Doesn't make it a good thing. I'm simply used to it.
I've noticed I have an easier time going to sleep if I use f lux then go to bed.
I sleep during the day and am awake at night so I need all the brightness in the dark I can get.
>>320807220
...what?
>>320807302
It's called graveyard shift
who incandescent master race here
Candle, Ember and Halogen shitters need not apply
>>320807220
You can set flux to do the reverse so that it's easier to transfer from computer to bed in the day.
Jesus, does everyone here have weak eyes or something? I mean I use glasses and even then bright lights mean nothing to me.
But then living in the desert basically sears your eyes until they're used to light.
>>320807150
Not even that guy but you're retarded as shit.
It has been proven scientifically that blue light is harmful to sleep patterns and all kinds of other stuff. How can you argue against facts?
>>320807528
Why? I turn off my computer when I'm done and I keep bright lights on in my house.Besides, I just drug myself to sleep anyway

It's gross. I want to see what the colors actually are.
>>320807420
No, what I meant was why would you deliberately stare at a bright screen in the dark? Painful as fuck.
>>320806108
>and not use your computer 3 in the morning.

Is this like some lostboy.exe thing?
>>320807747
>implying I'm in the dark.
First off, it's not painful because I'm not a pussy.
Secondly, I generally use studio-level lights. I keep my place like a miniature sun.
I use this every night. Specially useful if you have multiple monitors in conjunction with f.lux.

Never go full retard.
If you want to see what the colors actually are open your window and look outside, because you aren't going to get 100% color accuracy on any screen.

>>320798142
I think I'm just going to learn how to write a program that will automatically flip 4chan between Yotsuba B and Tomorrow based on the time of day. Seems like a better solution than tinting the entire screen.
flux has a minor issue of overriding your graphic cards settings upon use and you are unable to adjust anything afterwards.
It is a neat program but only useful on non-game rigs
>>320809309
Is In-N-Out the most overrated restaurant in America? I think so

What is the point of this? It says it's suppose to prevent your monitor from keeping you up. But I thought that was the off button.
If you want to reduce eye strain, then position light around the monitor, so your entire vision is filled with light. Your eyes strain, because you are focusing on the monitor for all of your light. You need full ambient light so your eyes can relax.
