Now vaping is bad for your computer. Sheesh...

They just don't know what to invent to cast vaping in a bad light. What next? Vaping causes terrorism?

E-cigarettes can be used to hack computers
Health warning: Now e-cigarettes can give you malware

First off no one should use there PC to charge anything because if it shorts you can blow your usb port or even worse your mother board.

Now you may need to use your PC for a firmware upgrade on certain mods if you desire to upgrade the board. But most are from the MFG, and I know that my PC is protected from any of this with using a good program in it.

I expected this to be a physical thing.

Ya know, the sticky ass film that ends up on your windshield? I assume that can't be good for your electronics at least lol

Vaping got my shorts mangled between the door (and then a dog ate my penis).

Exactly. This would be a complete non-story, were it not for the yellow journalism potential of electronic cigarettes.

While doing a quick google search I had to laugh. Recently several news sources have been covering this, within the past week or so. Fox, wapo and others. Around 3-4 pages into google I came across an article that someone mentioned on the bleeping computer forums and it took me to an article written at the guardian. From November of 2014. Glad MSM is on top of shit. Perhaps their news staff should give google a quick spin before regurgitating news stories over 2.5yrs old. lol

I thought way back when Sigeli launched the 100 watt mod with the two silver waves down the side there was some other companies mod that had a key logger on it that was auto loaded onto a computer once plugged in.. Cant remember what mod it was though...
