If you heard RNB in the mid -2000s, you may really enjoy Nation of rhythm By Janet Jackson. But the title, which today combines more than 35 million visits, was also responsible for many computers at that time.
He is a Microsoft employee, Raymond Chen, who tells him on his blog, explaining very specifically that a clip frequency could cause a sufficiently large vibration at the level of the hard drive to inevitably plant or dysfunction.
An exception claimed by a partner
Microsoft took the case very seriously, which proposed a specific filter, which remained within the commercial operating system “up to Windows 7”.
The filter was created by a “great computer manufacturer” after discovering that certain frequencies present in the clip could “disturb the proper operation of the hard drive.” This vulnerability was added to the database of the American Institute of Standards and Technologies (the NIST), which specifies that this could worry about hard drives that rotate at 5,400 rpm and were sold “after 2005”.
The Nist explains that beyond the Jackson Jackson clip, it allowed smart to create an error similar to the “denial of the service” with a user who visits a page that contains the defective frequencies.
According to Raymond Chen, it all started from an additional feature with Windows 7, which allowed to deactivate audio treatments imposed by certain manufacturers. However, one of them requested an exception, which implies the too high level of the bass that could create: “People won the box and took advantage of the richest low for a certain time, then at a given time, the computer planted mysteriously.”
That we calm down, now you should be able to listen Nation of rhythm To Mansalva. The clip was remastered on YouTube. Above all, hard drives have evolved and SSD (flash memory) are not affected by these breakdowns.
