Does anyone use a anti blue screen protector?

They are rather expensive.

But I read it as referring to some piece of software that prevents BSODs
- *or claims to*. I've never heard of such, but I can just about believe
it as possible. It would have to be a very complex piece of software,
though - it would more or less have to sandbox or VM your entire system.
At the very least, I imagine it would have a significant effect on
performance.

That's the way I read it too! If such a thing existed, it would have to
operate at a very low level, and run all the time in the background,
monitoring everything. But I doubt it does exist - at least for
intercepting blue screens. I seem to vaguely recall some utility program
that could run in the background and intercept some stuff that went astray
at the higher levels, however, but can't recall the program name now

"Andy"/"AK": if you're still reading this thread, can you tell us more
about these? You say "They are rather expensive", which suggests you
have at least one specific product in mind.

If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you when
they're in trouble again.

It's been shown that blue light affects sleep.

I would probably be better off with some blue blocking glasses instead.
