From what we can tell, that happens on a specific graphics card, in Chrome, and possibly only on Windows. If you have Firefox or Edge it should be ok. (Or if you happen to have another video card around, I guess.)
Any ideas on which shitty GPU this is, so we can avoid it and vote with our dollars on crap that actually works, like legal immigrant labor and medicare-for-all.
It’s probably the driver and not the actual GPU. It’s got to be either N-word or AMDbags or Int-hell. A clue?
Long as we’re talking about interesting moments, over on Morningsave (and when are you going to get something else I will BUY, it’s just the same old stuff for forever)…
One of these looks like it might be a teensy little mistake. Or time travel.
Rat bastards, you fixed it while I was typing. I’m still leaving this here, though, because FUNNY!
@PocketBrain Grab the drivers from your video card vendor’s site, not HP’s site, and that should fix the issue here (if the issue is the drivers are too old that is).
@DrunkCat Not sure about maximized windows (I never do that), but it makes sense that if the timer digits aren’t on the screen then they won’t fuck things up.
@DrunkCat Ah. Not my experience… with even a few rows of pixels of the bottom of the timer digits on the screen I was getting the artifacts, though I didn’t play with it very much (we easier to just use IE).

@dave Hot swappable GPUs! It’s the latest trend!
(That is the craziest bug ever.)
@dave Wow. For bring mediocre, you guys were absolutely on top of this. Props!
@dave Specific as in all Radeon cards? You trying to sell me video cards later in this meh-rathon? Is that the deal?
@dave Chrome sucks anyway.
Sucks up memory and spits it out like it is unlimited.
@dave Happens on more than one card, though both I’ve tested are AMD

@mike808 can confirm on 3 devices its an amdbags driver. 2 of them are running drivers from 1+ year ago, so its not a new issue

My mistake…I came here because I thought you were calling me…oh well…
It looks like my work computer has that driver/card. I guess I have to suffer with IE today…
LOL, mine is doing the same thing; I guess I don’t have to post the screen capture here.
Windows 7, Chrome, stock HP EliteBook 8460p.

Apple 27" iMac running Windows 7 has the problem as well (not dual boot, I wiped all traces of OS-X off the machine when I replaced the hard drive).
@baqui63 Hmmm… just went back to meh.com from the iMac again and now it is not displaying the WTF screen artifacts.
@shawn, @dave, @thumperchick… did you guys fix something?
@baqui63 I take it back. Is glitching again on the socks… maybe has to do with the value of the timer? Yo no se. Is fugly tho.
@baqui63 I noticed that it didn’t do it if the window was maximized or if you scrolled down far enough.
@DrunkCat Not sure about maximized windows (I never do that), but it makes sense that if the timer digits aren’t on the screen then they won’t fuck things up.
@baqui63 I meant scrolling down past the mid point, not scrolling it off the screen.
