Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons

The BBC study suggests that, "given that most devices still use LCDs, where power consumption may not be reduced by displaying darker colours" (British spelling theirs), broad claims about energy savings may not be appropriately scaled.

Yeah, no shit.

Surprised they went with such a small sample (n=10), you would think if you're spending all the time and money to design the study, you would try and get at least N=50.

Their approach also doesn't take in account that many smartphone OLEDs have automatic brightness.

I hate dark mode, it seems there is always enough non "compatible" stuff to blind you. Like sometimes dark mode works, except for the parameters page that burns your eyes out without a warning. Or 1 soft in dark, the other in white, ir darkmode but the surroubding panels arr light?
