Hello everyone We want to personally apologize to everyone for the downtime that we've experienced. We are working to get everything back up as quickly as possible. Due to the issues we've had, your password will need to be reset. Please click the button that says "Forgot Your Password" and change it. We are working to have things back to normal. Emails are fixed and should now send properly. Thank you all for your patience. Thanks, PCHF Management
Sorry Mates but the information is inaccurate. The likely hood of damaging the hard drive controller as claimed is small. The damage would be to the data buss probably. Also getting 200 volts from the USB port is, shall we say, unlikely. That would take a voltage multiplier circuit of which I have never see that small. They also talk about charging the capacitor. Have you ever seen a SMD cap? They are used as voltage stabilizers not charged caps. Mind you, I'm not saying it can't be done. I have been around electronics for too many years to fall into that mindset but it is impractical when there are easier ways to kill a computer. A USB port is only a liability if the IT people are too lazy to lock it down. In a Corporate or Governmental setting, USB access should be through proper authentication protocols.
It appealed to my warped sense of humour lc. I have found a better way to destroy pc's, put them out on the nature strip with no hard drives. Guaranteed within half an hour it will vanish[emoji3]
