C.H.O.M.E posted:

here is the uncorrupted version:



in vga text mode, you write the text for the frame, then you send that to the vga hardware and the VGA hardware is just gonna look up the glyph for each text character by the ascii code.



the glyphs that I see substituted (and their ascii codes) are

o->g
0x6F->0x67

n->f
0x6E->0x66

N->F
0x4E->0x46

,->$
0x2C->0x24

i->a
0x69-0x61

so you immediately notice that they're all off by 8, that is, they all are a difference of one bit flipping, the bit in position 3 (because 2^3 is 8).

code:

position: 7 6 5 4 _ 3 2 1 0
bit:      0 0 0 0 _ X 0 0 0

so for example

code:

position: 7 6 5 4 _ 3 2 1 0
bit:      0 0 0 0 _ X 0 0 0
n (0x6E): 0 1 1 0 _ 1 1 1 0 
f (0x66): 0 1 1 0 _ 0 1 1 0

so it's an intermittently stuck wire somewhere, could be that the hardware is overheated and causing the timing to screw up and sometimes not flip that position 3 bit to 1 fast enough before it gets latched, or something like that.

Here's Motherboard's super simple guide to building your first gaming PC:

Step 1: Have an unreasonable amount of disposable income.
Step 2: Have an unreasonable amount of time to research, shop around, and assemble parts for your computer.

I could have saved a significant amount of money bargain hunting, but this was an inconvenience I was happy to avoid for a price.

in the USMC these 800mg ibuprofen are called "grunt candy" and no matter what you go to the battalion aid station for (broken bone, cancer, sucking chest wound, etc) the corpsman will undoubtedly issue you a hand-sized manilla envelope filled with these and kick you the gently caress out

750mg seems nuts and proooobably wasn't actually making any difference other than increasing the risk of side-effects
folks need to be real careful with poo poo that works on noradrenaline/noradrenaline receptors tbh
