Here's a real-world example of a reduced-light computing environment.

Notice how the monitor is casting a shadow of that one fellow onto the wall.

Maybe that shadow actually came from the camera lighting.
Imagine how much dimmer the room actually is, minus that camera lighting.


No IPS glow from those black corners.
They probably spent a few dollars more on their monitor than I would be willing to.  chuckle.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
But still.  The point is, low ambient environment.  Dark room.

I do not know what happened but my message lost all line breaks. Is there some incompatibility with Firefox and javascript used in Dell forums?

I use Chrome for the Lithium Forum. But all of my composing is done via Notepad, then copied into the Chrome browser. Are you composing within Firefox? If yes, test Chrome and Edge to see if the same line break issue shows for you.

Thanks for the info.

About this forum editor.  I just tested pasting plaintext and also html markup from the FF clipboard buffer.  It seems this forum editor automatically parses the html markup, and rejects it if it contains any styled blocks.  (it gives a red message saying invalid html).  But either way, I wasn't able to repro it stripping newlines from FF.  (CRLF or
respectively).  I'm going to guess maybe your reply was pasted with "<" and ">" in an arbitrary non-html aware way, that might have tricked up this forum's parser.  Did you type it in, or paste it from an external editor?  I didn't try to goof up the parser with invalid html.

Ah.  Now I remember where I've seen it happen.  In MSDN (microsoft dev forum) when the censor-robot deletes something profane or even unflattering or critical.  When their robot does that, all formatting including newlines gets stripped from the post.

Here's a photo from inside Microsoft.  The lighting seems pretty subdued in there.

The fellow over there on the right, he has a lighting silhouette on his right shoulder and hair.
An unseen monitor on the left is casting light and shadow onto the wall.
The monitors all seem dimmed significantly, don't they?
OMG white background apps in that dim environment.  No wonder those monitors are dimmed.
The monitor on the left has an irregular fluorescent reflection that shows its relative dimness.
If you look closely, you can barely make out the DELL logo on its bezel.  See that?

I'm wondering, Chris.
Would this be suitable lighting for Dell uniformity testing?
Or would you advise them to turn up the lights.

Hard to say. Strange backlight on his head. They all appear bluish in the picture.

It's because the digital photography brightened the scene.
You can tell by how over-exposed the reflection from that one monitor is.
It's dark as a cave in that Microsoft lab.
