In the US, I believe that component in CRTs is called a "horizontal oscillator" instead of a "flyback transformer" (but could be that they are distinct yet related things). I've always been easily able to hear those, but am not usually bothered by them anymore since CRTs are fairly rare at this point. But this video proves that my 36 year old ears can still pick it up.

I feel like my hearing is bad -- I always want TVs louder than other people so I can make out what is being said, and in normal conversation it always seems like people are mumbling if there is any background noise at all. And I'm one of those annoying loud-talking Americans, especially if I'm talking on the phone (fortunately I don't get/answer many phone calls when I'm in public). But my hearing range pitch-wise seems to be exceptionally high, and not diminishing much with age (yet).

There's a fun easter egg for people like me at the end of that video. He put pulses of that CRT horizontal oscillator pitch where you can see the "Things You Might Know" text on the red background. I recognized it as Morse code, but couldn't decipher it even though I have an Amateur Radio license (I don't do code). In the comments at YT, people are claiming that the code translates to "never gonna give you up" -- so I guess he's Rickrolling people who both A) still have young enough ears to hear that 15kHz range *and* B) are old school enough to know / recognize Morse code. That's a pretty small target audience for an easter egg!

Anyone else make it through S3E1 without expecting "never gonna give you up..."

I was just glad he didn't break into "Never gonna give you up...."

Well actually, I was reading about Warner Music group on BoingBoing last week. I had a lot of George Carlin videos on here before he died and some more right after. In just two or three days after Carlin's death Warner started removing Carlin posts all over the place. (Which of course pissed me off because Carlin being alive was probably the only reason some asshole record executive hadn't pulled them already.) Anyway, the reason I mention it is that the article I was reading was talking about copyright in general and new ways that record companies are trying to discourage people from downloading material.

What you're talking about actually sounds similar to some of the stuff they mention. Apparently somewhere along the line some younger and hipper industry people started pointing out that there are other ways to discourage people from taking their stuff. The six-figure lawsuits and DRM were actually just serving to demonize companies and someone realized that the key to reaching their goal was to get people on their side.

Now, I'm not saying I'm sure but I've noticed a few things on youtube these days that seem fishy so I went directly to Warner's site to investigate and you know what I found?

They actually ha a whole army of techs working onwe're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. Full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and, desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie, and hurt youyou belive that shit?

They'll stop at nothing these days.
