My laptop’s screen is not supposed to look like this. I can make the vertical stripes on the left go away by squeezing the screen just right, but this is not an ergonomic solution. It’s had this defect once before, and the solution was a replacement LCD panel. This time it’s not an economical repair since this is now a 5-year-old laptop. So I took advantage of Black Friday and ordered myself a new laptop today. The old one will become the Parkercat server.
