Standing desks - stationary standing is just as bad as stationary sitting.
Blue light filter stuff - it's my understanding that there's no evidence that blue light causes eye strain.
Blue light filters may not help with eye strain, but I've definitely benefited from them for circadian rhythm reasons.
Blue light filters can still be nice at night right? As the blue light can keep you awake.
I find it easier on my eyes when its 3am and i am still scrolling.
The blue light filters are hilarious because most devices already support night mode
You can at least move a bit more when standing at the desk. Also, my past boss was recommended one due to back issues by his doctor at one point
Standing desks can be really nice for certain applications, where stuff like a hotas would be too tall at a fixed desk. Or for getting up if you are feeling drowsy while working.
Or one of my favorites, moving a bowl of food as close to your face as possible for maximum laziness, haha.
(Though it also has benefits in space-constrained apartments, since a chair can fully fit under the desk when guests are over, you are cleaning, or playing VR)
