Bing, the search engine owned by Microsoft, is not displaying image results for a search for "Tank man," even when searching from the United States. The apparent censorship comes on the anniversary of China's violent crackdown on protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
"There are no results for tank man," the Bing website reads after searching for the term. "Tank man" relates to the infamous image of a single protester standing in front of a line of Chinese tanks during the crackdown.
Bing displays ordinary, non-image search results for tank man when searching from a U.S. IP address; the issue only impacts the images and videos tabs. Google, for its part, displays both when connecting from the same IP address.
Shane Huntley from Google's Threat Analysis Group first tweeted a screenshot of the Bing search result. Security researcher Kevin Beaumont also tweeted the same results from what he said was a search from a UK IP address. Motherboard also replicated the search on a U.S. IP address.
Even before I dug out the screwdrivers, I suspected that there would be two boards present: one motherboard which controls the motor and camera logic and a daughterboard which is basically a wireless access point with a direct pass through from TCP to a UART connection on the motherboard.
First off apologies for the fuzziness of the photos, I could not get my camera to actually focus on the board itself. In terms of size, its height is about the same as the diameter of a 2 pence piece.
The board is double sided, first the backside:
I have read that distilled water doesn't conduct electricity. This, in other words, means that we can submerge electronic devices like PCs/laptops in it and run them without any problem. I haven't seen much information about this on the internet, but it should be possible.
I set up a computer in an acrylic case with good quality distilled water and a cheap motherboard as a test, with heatsinks only (no fans/moving parts). I cleaned the inside of the case with isopropyl alcohol, thinking that would remove any existing contaminants.
Within a day or two, I noticed that all the contacts/metal parts on the board began to rust. Even the stainless steel on the case of the SSD had begun to rust. Another day later, the motherboard died. When I removed the motherboard, being the first time anything physically removed (no fans), a huge cloud of rust particles came off and turned the water a lovely brown color.
As soon as contaminants pollute the water even in very small amounts, the water will begin to corrode and given enough ionic contaminants, the water will stop being an insulator and become a very good conductor.
Now various people will say different things with regards to the amount of time it takes for the water to become contaminated enough to cause problems but in almost all cases it is within weeks in sealed environments, days in open.
I would be highly surprised if it actually worked, even for a second. Motherboards have some pretty high frequencies, and the PCB routing is intricately designed to minimize capacitance so that they can actually carry these signals.
Changing the fluid that is around the board from air (dielectric constant = 1.00059) to water (80.4) is likely to introduce a lot of capacitances that weren't designed for and would be way out of tolerance, especially for channels like CPU to RAM. The additional capacitance just wouldn't allow the signal to switch fast enough to be able to reliably transmit the data. By the way, mineral oil has a dielectric constant of 2.1, so much less capacitancy than water, and some people have had success with submersion in that.
I agree with the others here that have noted that metals are slightly soluble in water (especially copper), so the water would start to become conductive immediately. Voltage differences would also cause electrolysis through the water and H2 + O2 would be produced, as well as forcing ions into aqueous solution.
I cannot speak to the use of water but a liquid cooling system was implemented years ago using fluorinert. This was done on the cray 2 and 3 I believe. The following snippet can be found on wikipedia. I did have the opportunity to see the cray-3 running in a tank of fluorinert completely submerged in liquid much like a fish tank.
The cards were packed right on top of each other, so the resulting stack was only about 3 inches high. With this sort of density there was no way any conventional air-cooled system would work; there was too little room for air to flow between the ICs. Instead the system would be immersed in a tank of a new inert liquid from 3M, Fluorinert. The cooling liquid was forced sideways through the modules under pressure, and the flow rate was roughly one inch per second. The heated liquid was cooled using chilled water heat exchangers and returned to the main tank. Work on the new design started in earnest in 1982, several years after the original start date.
It would seem that pure water would not cause any electrical problems given its insulative properties, and it's further suggested that you would want deionized water, but the problems that arise are only partly due to the introduction of contaminants (e.g. minerals, salts, metals, etc.). Even if you could guarantee that no contaminants entered the water, problems are inevitable on account of the autoionization of water. Neutral water does not remain neutral.
As the water (in conjunction with oxygen which is always in water, taken from the air to some equilibrium) would corrode metal parts, you have to prevent the metal parts come in direct contact with the water.
This can be done by painting of the components in some water resistant finish. There are several coatings out there exactly for this purpose, protecting electric components from water. Although this paints are meant for occasional dew, some of them work quite well for total submergence.
You just have to made sure your finish doesn't break contacts that are needed (just spray paint after connecting all plugs needed) and doesn't stop cooling (eg. keep the paint off the CPU heatspreader or sand it to a very thin layer there).
While some special praised paints doesn't seem to provide a long term protection (see here: -on-electronics/ ), more simple plastic sprays or expoxy based resin paints may do if the layer is thick enough.
And here you need just a minimal differential of potential to cause water be subject to electrolisis, hence the ions will be pulled out of water thanks to the magnetic field and will react with metal parts.
So actually you have ions inside water that can still carry charge (and so electricity, even if low currents), and despite that any magnetic field, even minimal will cause ions to separate from water and hence attack any metal part (beacause also parts in different metals act as catode-anode)
In reality water is corrosive for metals even without currents (well technically the metals will create a current even if not plugged into a power source), but current can accelerate/mitigate the corrosion (of course since computer parts are not designed for that, it is likely that a computer part would provide the exact current to counter the corrosion and hence will corrode.
The custom mineral oil pc project has always been intended as a cool conversation piece, and a fun do-it-yourself project. While there are certainly some thermal advantages, submersion cooling is usually not the best solution for overclocking. Due to the risk of tank failure if the oil reaches temperatures above 50C, we do not recommend submerging overclocked or extremely hot hardware in this system.
Another question we wanted to answer was how quickly the system cooled once we stopped the stress testing. It takes a while for the oil to dissipate heat through the tank, especially while the PC was still running, but it dropped back to an idle baseline in about 8 hours.
After we saw the high maximum temperatures, we started to think about what would happen if we pumped bubbles into the system. Theoretically, since the bubbles composed of cooler outside air, they should pick up the heat, rise and release it to the air above. Did it help? After about 2 hours, the temperature settled at a new maximum of 84C on the CPU under load. The bubbles did have an effect, but not as much as we were hoping for. Interestingly, the bubbles also hurt the video card temperature, causing it to rise by a few degrees! It seems the bubbles also served to agitate all the contents of the aquarium, bringing everything to a more consistent temperature throughout. For this reason, we do recommend bubbles.
