Blue light glasses are a scam btw. There’s research on this, some university’s in England is where I first heard about it. Publicly funded trials so no conflict of interest, and even then conflict is usually the other way, trying to get you to buy something instead of preventing. But the main point is you get exposed to far more blue light by going outside (aka the sky) than you do looking at a screen. Also blue light is not harmful in any way to your eyes, although it can mess up your sleep cycle but that’s it.

What you do need to be concerned about is adjusting your focus to something far away periodically and not starting 3ft in front of you for 9hrs

Hey everyone. I'm seeing so many people with 6-figure salaries and I'm starting to question my own for my education/experience/location. Making ~73 as a design engineer with 7+ years of engineering experience, a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Purdue, and working/living in Indiana. Am I right to question my salary in my situation?

I just got an email from a recruiter from Google!
