Most laptops have three screen brightness options:

1. Oww my eyes [it's too bright]
2. Oww my eyes [it's too dark]
3. Just right [for less than 1 second as it transitions between (1) and (2).]

@backupbear it’s absolutely shocking that #3 clearly exists, and that many of us struggle with it daily

@backupbear Real numbers for a Macbook Air 2022:

16 brightness levels (plus level "0" for screen off).

My indoor ideal would be 7.5, but of course there is no 7.5.

And while the brightness gaps starting at level 8 are very comfortable/understandable, at 7 it is not, so 7 feels way too dark and 8 feels way too bright.

It's like *one* firmware patch to a config look-up table away from being excellent, but has instead been a problem for years
