Max's Red Ad is Possibly Causing Screen Burn

[Australian rePublic]

There's a chance that Max's red ad for his new book is causing screen burn on my MacBook. Sometimes, the top left corner of my MacBook is redder than usual. This goes away after close the tab, but it still happens often to be concerning for me to worry that it's the first stages of screen burn. Due to unrelated issues, about 60% of my phone's screen is red because of screen burn. I don't want the same thing to happen to my MacBook. I had to close sidebar to mitigate the problem. I fully appreciate Max's right to advertise his book on NS, all power to him, but at the same, I don't want screen burn. Could you guys please look into this. I don't which model Mac it is, nor how to find out

To check your Mac model, see the instructions here.

Turn your brightness or contrast down, as the red used isn't particularly unusual. You could also remove the ad via your browser.

Cheers. It's a MacBook 13 inch mid 2010. I purchased it second hand last year, so screen burn would be a bummer

The brightness is as low as it goes. Plus, I need to adjust the brightness, as I spend a lot of time in the yard with the dog

So your laptop is 10 years old. Second-hand. That's the issue here.

Block the ad. That's likely the only fix.

Like I said, not necessarily. My phone is a Galaxy S8, and I purchased it brand new, last year. Screen burn doesn't only effect old devices. And the effects of early onset screen burn on this laptop weren't even a thing until that showed up. Either case, how do I close the ad? I don't wanna lie and say I purchased the book when I haven't

It has a tendency to affect older devices far more.

I won't put the instructions here. I'll telegram them to you.

Yes, well, I don't care. I don't want my otherwise excellent condition laptop wrecked because of a single ad. Also, that's a very classist approach to take. "Don't worry about it, it's an old computer". Not everyone can afford new tech

...you are speaking to a guy whose office at home is filled with technology from the eighties, so no that's not the case at all.

Cheers!

Hopefully that fixed the issue.

I'll try to implement your method in the coming days, if the website hasn't fixed it by then

It'd probably be better to use my suggested fix immediately, as leaving it will just make the problem worse; and there is no guarantee that the ad will be changed, as to my knowledge nobody else has reported it causing issues.

What is it with red anyway?

You can't buy a red car because it'll fade, you can't wash reds with white because it'll turn your white clothes pink, you can't gives your kids red lollies because they'll go hyper, and you can't you can't stare at red screen for too long without causing screen burn. It's almost God was thinking "Imma give you a colour that looks awesome, but if you try to implement it in any of your inventions, you're screwed. Just that colour. Other colours are fine. Screw you!"

Cheers. Considering how late it is, I'll do it tomorrow
