An investigation by Microsoft has concluded a series of mysterious problems that afflicted a large number of portable devices (laptops) due to a “song” being played over the Internet or downloaded to the device.
And the British “Sky News” network reported, on Friday, that Microsoft published a statement on its blog, in which the company’s chief software engineer, Raymond Chen, said, “One of the largest computer manufacturers has found that playing the American singer Janet Jackson’s song (Rhythm of the Nation) is capable of sabotaging Some types of laptops.
But the matter did not stop here, as the investigation found that playing this song leads to disruption of devices made by competitors, if this device is close to the other device that plays the song.
Janet Jackson
It turns out that the song, released in 1989, contains one of the natural resonance frequencies on the hard disk of the computer used by this company and others.
Because sounds are simply audio waves, there is a wavelength for each material that can create the most vibration, and this is known as mean resonance.
It turns out that the damaged laptops shipped since 2005 were affected by a frequency that was in Janet Jackson’s song.
