Teletubby 126,436 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Long-time Windows developer Raymond Chen told in his blog The Old New Thing the story of a colleague who, during laptop testing at a major computer manufacturer, discovered that the Rhythm Nation video would crash certain models of laptops, even those of their competitors. “One discovery during the investigation is that playing the music video also crashed some of their competitors’ laptops,” Chen writes. “I would not have wanted to be in the laboratory that they must have set up to investigate this problem. Not an artistic judgement.” The twist is that it wasn’t necessarily the music video, but the song itself, as Chen describes an instance where a laptop near the one playing the video crashed. “It turns out that the song contained one of the natural resonant frequencies for the model of 5400 rpm laptop hard drives that they and other manufacturers used,” Chen explains. In other words, Rhythm Nation has a frequency within it that caused laptop hard drives to vibrate to the point of failure. The fix apparently included putting a filter in the computers’ audio receiver that would detect and remove the frequency before processing. source Cockroach of GGD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
