let's say that those people who claim that ubiquitous wifi kills you are right. how deadly (maybe # of horrible cases of super cancer / 100,000) would wifi have to be before we stopped using it?

have you not read the thread? we are looking to abolish it at zero it might in fact have a better shot if it at least causes some supercancer among the deserving (and lets be honest; picking people who are bathed in wifi signals is a pretty good selection of deserving)

lol at the whole concept of WiFi/cellular signals causing cancer yep the radio waves that you, your parents and your grandparents have been subjected to since birth are now gonna kill you when they’re generated from a cell phone or WiFi device

I wonder if people still sell those stickers for cell phones that are supposed to prevent the cancer waves lol of course they do

The other week I was at my dad's house setting up his new wifi enabled printer for him and when I tried printing a test page it took like 5 minutes to print and I realized the signal strength was so bad that it was transmitting at like 0.1 Mb/s or some poo poo and discovered the router was on a different floor on the far side of the house and was also a 12 year old WRT54G and he also lives in a neighborhood with 8 million visible SSIDs. My suggestion was for him to get a long USB cable to connect the printer to his laptop on the other side of the room

Stereotype posted:yeah but counterpoint there are like 7.4B people now so it didn’t really hurt much. yet a good point of comparison would be the ubiquity of electric lighting. is it bad for you? not on any sort of serious scale, no. does it alter your biochemistry and your behavior in a way that is difficult or impossible to avoid? absolutely and fundamentally

dark matter detectors have to refine copper and steel on site in the detector mine vaults so that it doesn’t get activated by cosmic rays or have trace radioactive isotopes within it.

run wires everywhere raise the height of your AP as high as you can (break out the screw driver and put it on the ceiling dummy) throw away all old wireless clients look at smallnetbuilder for articles about what matters for speed. duh

i love that wifi network analysis apps show a bunch of 5GHz APs on overlapping 80MHz channels in my apartment complex i assume this is because consumer AP manufacturers default to MAX BANDWIDTHS IN CASE GIGABIT THROUGHPUT mode despite realistically being deployed in locations where 40MHz bandwidth will suffice for the device count/actual downstream capabilities of the network link case in point the multiple 80MHz xfinitywifi stations that i assume are providing excellent service to absolutely loving nothing connected to them. thanks comcast. thomcast.

i helped my friend set up the wifi in his new apartment and the drat router turned on four separate networks when i powered it up (5ghz, 2.4ghz, 5ghz_guest, 2.4ghz_guest) gee i wonder if this kind of poo poo is why the spectrum graph around here looks like michael j. fox trying to ketchup a burger
