Just a thought on a fun topic may be addressing myths and misconceptions about IT technologies or concepts and doing it sort of like the "Myth-Busters" style.

@FLM ,
I like the idea. We should start a list of suggestions for myths and misconceptions! If we get enough, maybe we could make a show out of it!
-
I have a few to get the process rolling, I sure there are many that would be much more interesting or entertaining to play with.

The cordless Anti-Static Strap

Water-cooled is better than Air-cooled CPU.

Heat sinking compound vs thermal pads.

Once you "brick" an IT device it cannot be restored.

Water cool is great until your pump fails or get a leak. I have seen water cool cause catastrophic failure. I ground the racks to the cold water pipe or back to the main panels. I recommend going with a #4 ground wire to handle any static. I have seen gadgets like that fail. $7.54 to protect tens of thousands in hardware when a copper wire is a better solution.

Hackers in movies.

I'd also like to see some of the myths busted that we see in the movies and Youtube type portrayal of IT tech. Keep em coming!

Two people, one keyboard 🤦♂️

That is a classic, mostly all GUI pop-ups but no-one is using the mouse! That must be an ultra-multiplexed keyboard or something DARPA made. It’s amazing how they could mitigate the attack by "rebooting" the CRT monitor. Mr. Lowrie probably could do a major "busted" of this exaggerated representation of hacking. Too hilarious!

Number 6: You can exfiltrate data from a computer through A.C. power Lines. "Confirmed" or "Busted"?
