"...we are disappointed to see the same issues as we have in previous years. The top 10 issues havenβt changed order since last year, apart from the addition of color contrast, which can be put down to a change in the testing and reporting."

Normal eyes (apologies for the blurriness)
drive.google.com/file/d/1mciO...
Also to note that it only works in Chrome (the top 2 browsers are Firefox & Safari)

Has anyone seen these HDR emojis pop up on Slack yet? Basically they stay at 100% eye-searing brightness and sometimes dims the rest of the screen to appear even brighter β οΈ
Being my catastrophizing self, I worry about Accessibility when someone decides they want their logos in HDR to "make it pop"
Interviewer: Can you explain this gap on your resume?
Me: Yes that's what happens when Outlook converts px to pt
