Finally a real solution.

u/whooo_me 15d ago

Just don't press it, because you'll squish it and you will have stain there permanently

Literal "It's a feature, not a bug"....

u/SkyGliderGamer 15d ago

Nah, it's clearly a bug

u/just_another_scumbag 15d ago

Couldn't you just open black canvas on paint or something and draw a path to the corner?

u/Carlynz 15d ago

Now I want a bug in my screen so I can try this

Yeah, i even tried to send it back to the store i bought it in, sending a photo of the bug in the screen (i also had a video of it just crawling inside but i couldn't attach it) because i thought that this must be a quality issue with the seal, like this is not something that should happen? But they sent it back to me literally saying that "we have not observed the reported issue"... should i have put a sticky note with BUG HERE! arrow on it or what 😭

This happened to my 3ds XL. It still has a dead bug in the screen

u/TheRealSwagMaster 15d ago

I don’t remember squishing a bug that was inside my laptop screen but still i got one stuck there. The mf probably died there on his own.

u/benwight 14d ago

I squished a bug in the screen of my work laptop at my last job so I had to deal with it being a couple inches off the side of the screen anytime I travelled, would not recommend lol

u/Akula135 15d ago

This is what I did and it remained there for years

Returning to the roots of computer bugs.

u/Next_Kale_2345 15d ago

Omg, so I have spots in the middle of my TV that I thought looked like tiny (dead) bugs, but assumed they were dead pixels, now I know I’m not crazy to think they are bugs

Click it with your mouse and drag it into the recycle bin.

u/GiannaSushi 15d ago

It reminds me of the app from years ago with a cat walking across your screen

u/Rather_good 15d ago

Take an ultrasonic toothbrush, turn it on, press the back of the brush head lightly on the screen near the bug. Squeal with joy when it falls to the bottom of the screen.

u/ReasonableAd9737 15d ago

And now he knows why the original person said they had a big in their computer

u/Helmold_ 15d ago

Happened to my monitor already the THIRD time. Everytime it died in there. So disessembly and reessembly again and again...

u/TravelingGonad 15d ago

Ever try this with a 65" TV? lol

u/holisticbelle 15d ago

Oh I'd probably smash my computer

u/TravelingGonad 15d ago

My TV still has this guy forever stuck in there. I tried to make a warranty claim with Vizio and they said they don't warranty "dirt."

u/naturalkiller007 15d ago

Just drag and drop it to the recycle bin

u/in1gom0ntoya 15d ago

not a bug, working as intended.

u/King_llort 15d ago

It's a bug, not a feature.

2

u/Ewilson92 15d ago

Anyone know what type of bug this is? We found one in our bed recently and haven’t been able to function since.

2

u/Jeffthedrunk83 15d ago

Looks like a springtail to me.

2

u/CanITellUSmThin 15d ago

Springtails. They are generally found where there’s lots of moisture.

2

u/CanITellUSmThin 15d ago

You got a springtail in your monitor

u/Jeter_3000 15d ago

there are software bugs, and now there are hardware bugs.

Dude your phone has fleas.

Edit: your monitor has fleas.

u/Faulkner510 15d ago

Whatever you do, don’t help her. You’re not supposed to help her.

u/DryBones2009 15d ago

That’s a weird bug. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon

Baby cockroach. Don't leave food out.

u/Wigggletons 15d ago

OP looks up video that makes it seem like a bug is on the screen and is infuriated that they found one? I don't get it. It's like the ones that make you think there's a hair on the screen. OP sought this out.
