Unnecessary tech part 34: Bedside lamps with touch activation. After figuring out how to turn on this stupid hotel lamp, I find it has three modes:

1) On. Ok, this is what a bedside lamp is for. The touch interface added nothing but at least it’s now operating.

2) Extra bright. Did Jesus just land? Hurts eyes, disrupted sleepiness.

3) FLASH blinking ON/OFF. WTF?!?! Who asked for this? Who approved this? Who would EVER want this??? Now fully awake and contemplating meaning of life.

@Setok So to turn it off to sleep you have to cycle it through extra bright and blinking?
@Setok 4) Light intensity matches the volume of your snoring
@varjolintu that would at least be funny :D

@Setok It's missing the "FLASHING EXTRA BRIGHT, to let the Aliens from Vega know where to land, my god I can see my skeleton projected on the walls in ash" mode.

Lucky.

@dkf don’t give them ideas!
