[vlc] Can vlc break your computer? NO!

[PK]

Vishal, the people at HP are either incompetent or they are lying to you, 
and anyone else who tells you that vlc can break a computer in any way is 
also either incompetent or lying.  vlc can't harm your computer.  There is 
no conceivable way that vlc can affect the speakers, display, mainboard or 
other hardware; and frankly, it's ignorant to think this.

vlc is like any other media application: you can adjust the audio to the 
level you want.

If a computer is designed so that its electronics deliver an amount of 
electricity to the speakers that will break them, then that is faulty 
design, and you should ask for a return of your money.  Normally this 
should be simply impossible, and I have never heard of even a single case 
where this happened.

One of IBM's early desktop PCs was built so that software could actually 
physically destroy its display electronics, but at least they didn't blame 
their design problem on the customers!

My personal guess is that somewhere in HP in your locale, someone is 
looking for ways to avoid the cost of repairing their laptops.  But 
whatever is happening in HP, it is a disgrace.

This has nothing at all to do with vlc.
