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