I have Chrome 41.somethingsomething. You sure you can't update?

If you PayPal gift me $100 I'm sure it'll fix itself, too.

I've got Google Chrome 34.0.1847.116 ,and that's the most updated version available.

Mines V41.0.2272.101 and I'm on windows 7. akkaps is just lazy and needs to manually check for chrome updates.

Pretty sure I can wave goodbye to any effort for the rest of the semester. Hello netflix US!

 

[akkaps]

Anyone here use f.lux?

 

[akkaps]

It only offers me a free month, nothing about it being free permanently.

Never heard of it.

I used it way back when I had a jailbroken iPhone.

Assuming its the same thing you're talking about. Where the screen goes orangish in dark light?

 

[Dylan8]

Never heard of it.

Neither have I!

It's a program which automatically adjusts your screens brightest levels based on your location and the position of the sun. Has a special filter which it applies to varying degrees based on where you are and how bright it's presumed to be at that location. It's meant to reduce eye strain etc. I had it on my iPhone, but you can only get it on there through cydia. It's also available for linux and Windows.

iOS7 brought that in as a new feature. Pisses me off when I'm trying to do things descretely on public transport, and my iPhone thinks it needs a brighter screen.

sounds more shifty than it probably is.

It's not auto-brightness, it's completely different and it's not available on any phones officially as of yet

That's it, except it actually adjusts the colour temperature of the screen and not the brightness. So during daylight it has the screen at its normal, almost fluorescent white temperature, but at night when your eyes are tired it reduces the temperature to a warm mild hue. I have it on my MacBook and once you go f.lux you don't go back.

Try it!

Yeah you still have to pay for the subscription...

does it drain battery?
does it help battery?

I'm not 100% sure on the science but f.lux seems to work, makes viewing a computer at night so much better. It works similar to those Gunnars glasses if anyone is familiar with them.

Just installed it on my laptop

I know I'm gonna come on here in a week and think somethings wrong with my screen ^_^

I assume you're referring to computers? It has no effect on the battery at all

Tell me what you think! The only annoying thing is hearing your phone go off while you're using your computer at night and then you get the white light of your phone again. But it can actually work as a deterrent to not check your phone after a certain time – not that I do that much anyway

I use hola, for shitposting as an Azerbaijani on /sp/ though.

Yeah, Already done that to myself tonight. Quickly chucked my phone on night mode. Won't get any notifications until 8 tomorrow.

I use f.lux on my laptop and desktop, and an app called Twilight on my phone that does the same thing. Mind you I don't have my phone set to gradually change, I just turn it on full when I go to bed.
