Could be something peculiar to Nvidia GPUs, or maybe it’s just Firefox, but I never see this colour anywhere else, only when something causes a glitch in the rendering of video content. Sometimes it’s not just the video player that goes green, but the entire viewport of the browser window. I’m mainly curious why it’s that colour, rather than just black or white or something like that.

    I’ve never really thought about what happens to data that the system fetches over the internet. So, just as if it would’ve been stored in permanent storage locally, it’s loaded into system memory, which then “serves” it back to the browser? In my beginner head, it then looks like this: YouTube -> system memory -> browser/media player

      Correct. Eventually millions of very very tiny squirrels then eat the data once it is discarded.

      I’m simplifying a bit, but that is generally how it works.

          I mean, kind of? There are system traces of what the squirrels ate that build up, causing weird issues with other software over time. It’s why restarting your computer fixes so many software errors. Part of the close process of the computer is cleaning up most of the squirrel poops.
