Back in the early 2000s, you probably got quite used to your laptop crashing all the time, but could the problem have been that you were just listening to Janet Jackson too much? As nonsensical as that question sounds, the answer is possibly yes.In a recent blog post, Microsoft software engineer and Windows historian Raymond Chen has revealed that a “major computer manufacturer” once came to the company with an unusual issue.

The issue is similar to how an opera singer is able to shatter glass by singing at a certain pitch.“The manufacturer worked around the problem by adding a custom filter in the audio pipeline that detected and removed the offending frequencies during audio playback,” he continued.“I would not have wanted to be in the laboratory that they must have set up to investigate this problem.
