I don't think they'd take it at all if there was a risk to lose 96$ on it.

People who have access to a fresh dollar bank account[0] have the ability to deposit the old bill and then try to withdraw it again in hope of getting a new bill.

A couple of services spun up that take lower commission for bulk conversions e.g. 2$ instead of 4$ for each 100$.

Is there another appliance that I can test to see if that's the issue? I don't have an oscilloscope.

Edit: I just tested powering it from a UPS: It's flickering more now and when it show the correct content it stays for a second more then when powering from the ecoflow.

The monitor model is: BenQ GW2780-T.

The issue is still happening.

Unfortunately I don't have a different HDMI cable at hand now. I'll test another cable as soon as I get my hands on one.

It's the only appliance that doesn't work. It turns on normally but stays black (I use it in mirror mode).

Every hour or so it may show the correct content for a glance then it'll turn black.

I suspect the power supply source is not the real reason, maybe there's something causing interference with the cable?

I'm waiting to have a free weekend to check it out.

Edit: I'll check if it's related to this issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32631017

> In the curl project we’re deliberately conservative and we stick to old standards, to remain a viable and reliable library for everyone. Right now and for the foreseeable future. Things that worked in curl 15 years ago still work like that today. The same way. Users can rely on curl. We stick around. We don’t knee-jerk react to modern trends. We sit still in the boat. -- Daniel Stenberg

I've wrote a bit on this on my blog in the context of creating a (nano) web framework similar to Rails [1] and a (nano) http client library similar to requests [2].

I find this to help assure me that if I have to go one layer deep in abstraction I'd still be able to learn how it works.
