Car related ones i'm afraid:
- The right or left driving/fog light coming on when the driver turns in that direction
TBF I thought that that was actually a thing with modern cars- The right or left driving/fog light coming on when the driver turns in that direction
Either way, its an utterly pointless addition to vehicles.
Sure, if you're driving a 4x4, off road, at night, then I could see the value of having extra illumination when navigating corners.
But in an urban environment, where the corners are already well lit by modern LED street lighting, shop fronts and headlights, then no...............no need at all.
Its a gimmick.
Something that can technologically can be done, but doesn't need to be done.
Daftest part was, the car had the super dangled adaptive xenon lights which where a gazzilion times brighter than the halogen fogs and would be focused low and wide at slower speeds, so there was no discernible additional light when the fog came on turning onto the drive or whatever.

I have an interest in classic/retro Hi Fi (as well as current/new) and have been looking at a graphic equaliser because I used to have one in my 'stack' many years ago.
Of course, I want one with the LED lights in the sliders and a spectrum analyser, so why have some manufacturers put the spectrum anayser to the left of the unit and not in the middle between the left and right channels??

Really?!

But, it's mostly pointless, I agree.
