| sebsebseb | hi | 16:54 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | hey | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | finally starting to cool down a bit here | 16:54 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: yep here too | 16:55 |
| zxmpi | down to 23c here today, was over 25c yesterday | 17:04 |
| penguin42 | it's claiming to be down to 20c accoding to the weather app on the bar | 17:07 |
| daftykins | aaaah... a glorious breeze! | 22:17 |
| daftykins | i might be hopping over to Exeter sometime soon | 22:17 |
| daftykins | i just found a Brewdog restaurant there, that ought to be fun | 22:17 |
| penguin42 | hmm I think there's one here as well | 22:32 |
| daftykins | we drink a fair bit of their "Lost" in cans down at my dentist pal's practice | 22:36 |
| daftykins | out of hours, of course xD | 22:36 |
| daftykins | i think he'll be jealous once i mention having the chance to visit one o' these | 22:36 |
| daftykins | hmm of course visiting England means finding a spare phone and a UK SIM | 22:37 |
| penguin42 | so I just spent an hour chasing something truly obscure | 22:39 |
| penguin42 | https://cdn.mastodon.org.uk/media_attachments/files/111/042/671/143/131/984/original/468f76ad3191872c.jpeg you see that green smudge under 'license' | 22:40 |
| daftykins | yep | 22:40 |
| penguin42 | ok, where do you start debugging it | 22:41 |
| daftykins | probably dragging in another white window to start, to rule out the monitor | 22:41 |
| daftykins | then again scrolling would do that xD | 22:42 |
| penguin42 | dragging a white window over it, the white window is fine | 22:42 |
| penguin42 | scrolling follows the scroll | 22:42 |
| daftykins | hrmm, separate browsers on the same page next i'd try | 22:43 |
| penguin42 | chromium doesn't exhibit it | 22:43 |
| daftykins | but the Fox can do no wrong, in my book! | 22:44 |
| penguin42 | I will note the green is flickering and jittering | 22:44 |
| daftykins | ooh | 22:44 |
| daftykins | right click -> inspect element find anything other than background blankness? | 22:44 |
| penguin42 | worlds most boring html | 22:45 |
| daftykins | wow, ok... amaze me! | 22:46 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: OK, let me tell you another one - screenshot doesn't show it | 22:46 |
| daftykins | O_O | 22:46 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Disabling hardware acceleration doesn't help | 22:47 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: And restarting ff doesn't help | 22:47 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Changing the sharpness on the monitor makes it go away | 22:48 |
| daftykins | oooh | 22:48 |
| daftykins | so it was in the display, wowzer | 22:48 |
| penguin42 | odd isnt it | 22:49 |
| daftykins | that's quite the tricky one! | 22:49 |
| penguin42 | but it's only that page it's showing it on | 22:49 |
| daftykins | i wonder what about that region makes your monitor go so nutty | 22:50 |
| daftykins | here's one for fun, what about rotating? | 22:50 |
| daftykins | would the pattern perfectly rotate 90 degrees to fill the same portion? | 22:50 |
| penguin42 | my suspicion is it's an aging fault on the monitor; it seems very sensivie to the exact background colour; if I edit the background colour it goes away | 22:51 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:51 |
| penguin42 | I think it's triggering on the right hand slope of the 'v' in approved | 22:51 |
| daftykins | i have quite a number of vertical lines when i cold power-on my 2008 CCFL backed LCDs now, after a warm-up these disappear | 22:51 |
| penguin42 | are they black lines? | 22:52 |
| daftykins | oh yeah that does look like the origin | 22:52 |
| daftykins | they're a bit of a mix, some colours - some black so presumably unlit columns | 22:52 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 22:52 |
| penguin42 | I did have another Dell monitor that had settings related artifacts - but they were much larger scale and much less image specific | 22:54 |
| daftykins | here's how one looks - https://i.imgur.com/VcZyb35.jpg | 22:55 |
| penguin42 | oh yeh, that's normally a connection to the panel going over time I think | 22:56 |
| daftykins | apparently a bit of hairdryer action between the layers can help, but since it disappears on warmup i have just accepted it | 22:57 |
| penguin42 | yep | 22:57 |
