This is one article that not only tapped something I'd imagined in the days long ago, but scared me into making sure my mic is disconnected.
Early in my days as a tech, I sometimes wondered if there were ways to network and control a computer using high-freq sound as the communication medium. Now, I'm wondering who was tapping into my daydreams.

- This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.
Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
