A couple hours ago my screen started acting erratically on my macbook. Like everything became hazy and windows were transcluscent and interfereing with each other, and some kind of hazy horizontal lines.
This was the first time I have seen anything like this. I didnt think too much, until I noticed the Google services down.
Wondering if anyone else saw anything strange like this?

I have Pepes dancing all over my MacBook Pro.
Personally I'd lean towards graphics card:
The other symptoms match, but this doesn't generally happen with just a flaky connection. The cable never sees the per-composited state to be able to mangle like this.
u/bubble_bursts - one way to diagnose this issue would be to see if the graphics corruption also occurs on an external monitor. If it does, it's likely graphics card. If it doesn't, it's likely the cable connecting the graphics card to the display.
IIRC some macbooks had known graphics card issues over time - wonder if it's an affected model. Old laptop if so.
Thanks! I will watch out for if this happens again, but it stopped as suddenly as it started. This is not very old. Warranty expired in October, and from my experience, pretty much within 3 months of warranty expiring my Apple products break down pretty consistently. My wife jokes that they have been tracking me and since they know I will buy a new one, they sabotage my products remotely.
I've also have/had Monitor Issues. (A restart seems to calm it down).
my employees were just complaining they could not access banks
My computer's slowed down since I joined win. Anti-v doesn't help
