@lyse Hm, I was going to say: “Mine is a Dell S2421H, how different can it be? Probably the same panel.” But then I saw that the U2412M even has a different resolution. 🥴

I wonder if this goes away during winter when the humidity drops … That’s my only hope. 😅

Oh dear. I’m seeing lots of burn-ins on my screen lately. 😳

This is what Audacity looks like after watching YouTube for a while:



The screen is two years old …

These ghost images go away after a while, but they’re annoying as heck. 😳

@lyse Crazy – and nice. 😅

I kind of miss the audible feedback of home computers, too. When the drives were active, you knew the machine was doing something. 🙃

(I still have hard disks, not just SSDs, but they’re so quiet these days that you hardly hear them anymore.)

@eapl.me I wondered how you ended up with “Augenheilkunde”, but apparently the german wikipedia redirects from “Augenarzt” (that’s the person, an ophthalmologist) to “Augenheilkunde” (that’s how you call the field, ophthalmology). 😅

Finding a specialist doctor in germany can be difficult. Not just eye doctors, but all of them. And when I *do* find a new doctor, I expect to have to wait for several months until I get an appointment. According to this statistic, there are only about 8.4 ophthalmologists for every 100'000 people in this country (in 2020). What the heck, isn’t that a bit low? 😂

You still get help in cases of emergency (afaik, they are even required by law to help you *if* it’s an emergency). Luckily, that’s not the case for me. Technically, I can wait. Still annoying. 😅

I made the mistake of not going to see an ophthalmologist for many years. Now my old doctor has nuked me from their database – and they don’t take new patients.

In fact, none of the ophthalmologists I called so far take new patients. 🙄 Might take a while until I find one … 😩

(Dude, “ophthalmologist”, what a word. In Germany, we call them “eye doctors”. 😂)

@lyse Well, thanks. 😅 In special situations like these it pays off to have control over what the camera does. Auto-focus, for example, would have killed everything. (And then I botched the manual focus in some shots, haha. 😅)

I saw a couple of these UFOs. 😅 Planes were crazy/desperate enough to approach the airport. They were flying right into the heart of the thunderstorm. Next day, I read reports that passengers couldn’t leave their plane, because everything was flooded at the airport. 🤷

Motivated by @lyse’s thunderstorm videos, I tried to get some shots of today’s storm. I sat there for an hour. What a frustrating endeavour. 🤣 It takes so much patience and, as soon as I *wasn’t* taking a shot, there was a huge flash again. 🤣

This one is obviously the best shot:

I also tried making videos, but they all turned out to be garbage.*

@lyse Well, I can’t say I’ve had much to do with IBM software. 😅 Except of course the “home stuff” in the 1990ies, PC-DOS and OS/2. Little bits of database stuff later on, but let’s just say it was … “convoluted”.

I would have loved to work at that company during times like these, though:

(That is, if we ignore all the misogyny and racism of that era. Bah.)

Big machines. And you could actually understand what they’re doing and how they work. I hate that that is impossible these days.
