dystopiaz:internetispersonae:bwansen:There’s a discussion about this, including an explanation, here.Basically, it seems there’s some bit stuck on zero. Just compare the binary values of the letters:In “Windows” => “Wandows”:i = 01101001a = 01100001And in “Normally” => “Ngrmadly”:o = 01101111g = 01100111l = 01101100d = 01100100 You see, in the misplaced letters, the fifth bit is “zero” when you would expect it to be “one”. That’s the difference.Also, it seems to happen on every fourth letter, but in some letters, we don’t see it because their fifth bit already is zero: “Wandows” has both the “i” (changed to an “a”) and the small “w” affected, but “w” is 01110111, so the bug doesn’t make a difference.The whole thing is very probably caused by a damaged graphics adapter.These are exactly the signs and symptoms of a fucked graphics adapter.Wow I see this picture when I’m stoned like all the time and it makes me laugh every time but it’s so cool to see the actual science behind it -- source link
