That's a gamer, not a software engineer
I mean, I do have RGB lights but it's not because I'm a software engineer. I'm just a dork.
Lol thank you for making that, I had that meme in mind while I was writing that reply.
I specifically built my computer to have as much RGB as possible. Also because I'm a dork.
I am a software engineer and I also have a PC with RGB vomit. But not because I'm a software engineer. Because I'm also a dork, and the icy blue color keeps my cpu cold.
Yeah, as a software engineer I have 3 monitors if you include the one built into my laptop
When forced to have rgb components.. I disabled them. If nothing else it's yet another point of failure and extra waste heat.
How bright were those LEDs?
Speaking of heat, I ended up turning my stupid stinky rgb on to display the temperatures of various components. Blue to red the hotter it gets. RAM shows ram temp, water block shows cpu package, radiator fans for coolant/core max, gpu does gpu, etc. Actually pretty useful.
Yep, I have an fully enclosed case. Only RGB is my water cooling block on my cpu that I left the rgb header unplugged. Even though I would never see it, I am a person of principle, damn it!
Hah, jokes on you, I have an ultra wide.
Which is basically two monitors without any separator in the middle.
Ooh, the thinest of bezels: none.
I go out of my way to find components that don't have RGB lighting on them. When I use my computer, I want to be looking at the screens (the two-monitor part is true,) not the case.
No, I don't have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.
Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦
I wonder if anyone has studied the rate of cosmic ray-induced bit flips in a PC with a side window case vs. an all metal one.
Flashing RGB light are legit the most annoying shit ever. I just have a black box for a case and my peripherals glow a dim solid color (so I can see them in the dark) if at all.
Nobody puts their RGB into flashing rainbow except for displays in shops.
Who only do it to show what kinds of colours you can choose.
It is so you can match the colour of every part to whatever you like. Without the manufacturer having to determine colours beforehand.
People absolutely "do". Mostly because they cannot be bothered to change the default setting or because they are teenagers and actually like it
Oh you sweet summer child.
gestures at my entire uni classroom, in which nearly all the people I know have RGB peripherals and computers at home
I think I'm up to 5 spread across two different workstations, but no rgb that shits annoying to me.
Yeah I hate that it seems now you have to pay a premium to NOT have RGB
I stray away from it as much as possible
Guys, I think age is making us boring. I also personally prefer black rectangles and soft neutral lights, but I think we're the bories.
I do have 2 monitors. But I have an opaque side panel. Case closed. Pun intended.
I don't know how to make my RAM be not a rainbow and I'm too lazy to look it up
Monitors – hell yes! RGB – can't stand it. My keyborad has a plain white backlight and that's it. It's purely functional.
Stereotypes exists so that I can be the 5% that doesn't fall into them.
Two monitors but a solid case side panel (in fact it's a case that's so old that at the time TG side panels were not common). If I could be at liberty to choose parts purely based on looks, I'd go with something black, minimalistic and with no RGB.
It's a shame some of the better components have baby-sensory RGB lights tacked on. I'd have bought my parts plain if that was a convenient choice.
Oh also

I have a rainbow computer with only one monitor. Am I not a software engineer?
The blinky lights make it compile faster!
I'm getting older but nah, fuck it, I like RGB lighting in my build. I have a cool mostly open case with a glass front that you can wall mount Pretty sure it's an older version of this thing. if not it's a very similar setup and making all my components glisten red or react to explosions in an FPS just feels cool to me.
I turn down the brightness though cuz holy shit they come set to 2x the sun by default
