A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'd kind of like to have a monitor with an ambient light sensor that has the ability to adjust display brightness the way smartphones and some other devices often do.
There are a few projects for Linux that let one run a daemon and some kind of attached ambient light sensor, but I'd prefer it to operate regardless of whether or not the OS is running, like in the BIOS and bootloader and such.
