Somehow, 5G Paranoia Is Only Getting Dumber
from the protect-me-from-myself dept
We've made it repeatedly clear that 5G now exists in some kind of alternate reality, untethered from this complicated mortal plane. One one side, you've got telecom giants, hardware vendors, and some politicians busy pretending that 5G is a revolutionary game changer, something you just sprinkle around to create near Utopian smart cities, smart vehicles, and miracle cancer cures. On the other side, you've got an international cabal of conspiracy theorists with a head full of pudding, who think 5G gives them COVID or is a diabolical deep state, mind-surveillance tool.
Of course 5G is neither of those things. It's a pretty modest evolution for existing wireless standards. One that's technically less dangerous than existing cellular networks, according to actual experts. And while it will offer faster speeds eventually, U.S. implementation of 5G is spotty and slow (in some cases slower than 4G), resulting in some fairly underwhelming first impressions. It's worth neither the hype nor the fear expended on it so far.
That's not stopping the 5G conspiracy theorists. Earlier this year, folks began burning down 5G cell towers and even hiding razor blades on utility polls in the mistaken belief that 5G spreads COVID, controls minds, or is part of a new diabolical surveillance effort by the "deep state." (If you think any of these claims are true, your head has been filled with gibberish by charlatans and you need a time out).
More recently, scammers selling micro faraday cages for your router have popped up to target the gullible, promising to block the harmful impact of 5G. The products themselves are hysterical in their innate stupidity, actively blocking all wireless signals emitting from wireless routers, at prices that make no coherent sense:
So apparently putting Faraday cages around routers has become a thing for the 5g conspiracy nuts and there are companies out there ready to cash in.

Judging from the overwhelmingly positive Amazon reviews, folks really don't seem to understand they'd be better off just, you know, not buying a wireless router and settling for a traditional (and much cheaper) fixed line router:

Again, 5G exists in this really kind of amazing alternative reality where it's either some amazing technological revolution that's going to change everything, or it's part of some diabolical plot to kill or monitor people who watch too much YouTube. The reality, that 5G is a semi-important but kind of dull evolution of existing technology, rarely makes an appearance.

I doubt a fixed line router is cheaper, especially if you consider wiring up your house with cat. 6 UTP cables and matching outlets in all rooms. Doing so, however, will solve wifi issues, and improve your network speed and ping times a lot.
If I had an evil mood, I might consider advising my neighbors to use this, so their wifi causes less interference with mine. Good for them, I am not evil.

Seriously? Faraday cages for your wireless router? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. You can’t design a Faraday cage that only blocks 5G. The entire principle behind Faraday cages is that they block radio waves of all kinds. If anything, I’d imagine 5G gets through more effectively than other WiFi signals. And they’re charging $90 for these? They’re just metal cages.

What's more is that they don't even understand there's a difference between cellular 5G (5th generation) and Wi-Fi 5G (5GHz). If it's "5G", it's bad!!!!
I have a friend like that. She used to try to understand things, but now she just falls for every conspiracy theory out there. It's heartbreaking.

Re:
You can design one that acts as a high pass filter, that is block all frequencies lower than the design frequency, because all holes and slots act as slot antennas. So you design one to block WiFi and let through high band 5g. Your intuition that 5G will get through easier is correct, around a 5mm slot is the antenna size for high band 5g, and that can be where two bits of metal do not actually make contact, like between a lid and a case.

The mind surveillance tool thing involves sampling and reconstruction of signals on human neurons with normal electrical engineering tools. It was developed by nazis (german or not idk) in a death camp because the process causes disability and death on its victim.

Generally, people use the router they get from their ISP, almost always a wireless one. A lot of people don't use wireless devices and have some serious concern about other people using wireless to hack into their home network. (And it's too difficult for them apparently to just go into the router and disable the radio--there being no button on the outside to do this [anymore].) So, a "modern" solution now is to spend a ridiculous amount of money (anything over $0 being ridiculous) to get cage and put your router in it. (Sounds like a Trump supporter thing--brain is mush.)

The health effects will be tested on YOU (there's also a "Health" heading which has the obligatory "pooh-pooh"):
NOT mentioned is that "deductive radar" (my term) is easily possible either by receiver on opposite side of target from the high power sources, OR using reflections, only with adjustment since not aligned with the source. Tests have apparently been done in which it's possible to "see through walls".
Now, are you ALL unaware that kooky "conspiracy theories" are a tactic used BY conspirators to divert? You need stick to facts, not just smugly believe that are no evil people in the world.

You are conflating Gs right off the bat.
Guess what if you stand in front of a giant high-powered radar or stick your head in a microwave over, you'll run into trouble. Extreme bright light and lasers can also be dangerous. Enough infrared will cook you. Don't get me started on UV, X, and gamma rays.
No wavelength is safe!
Or, you know, they are all just fine if there isn't a high intensity at your person.
Somewhat lower intensities for higher-energy (shorter wavelength) required. Not available in all states. Subject to applicable federal and state taxes. Executed by professionals on a closed track. Never stand directly next to quasars.

If the cage is a continuous conductor, it will stop radio waves. However things like doors cause breaks in the conductive surface which allow signals to leak into the cage. At 30Ghz, those holes to allow cable into the case are big enough to be a slot aerial. A microwave oven, with the door shut is a pretty good faraday cage, with very minor leakage due to imperfection in the door to oven seal allow minor leakage.

A microwave isn't a faraday cage or you don't understand what it takes to be a waveguide or be materials with high absorption and reflection coefficients.
OTA transmission depends on the absorption, reflection, and transmission constants for the materials and wavelengths involved.
Microwaves in your kitchen are supposed to make a microwave charged airgas and blow it onto food. The specific frequency of that microwave has high absorption into the door material and high reflection into metal. It's not a traditional faraday cage but some people conflate them.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Considering that the oven is usually stainless steel, it is not a special absorber, indeed significant absorption by the microwave oven walls would significantly reduce its efficiency. Also, any non-conductive gap in conducting surface is a slot aerial where the longest dimension is a significant part of a wavelength. A microwave oven needs to be a pretty good faraday cage to stop it trying to cook the owner.
Circuit shielding is the small scale application of faraday shielding, and often result in many more small screws being used that required for mechanical strength, and sometimes leaving one out has a measurable effect, just don't ask how long it took to find..

Re: Somehow, 5G promoters are only overlooking facts.
Note what else is in there:
In other words, they’re placed closely together in order to ensure full coverage, but that won’t mean that you’ll experience higher intensities from these towers being close together simply because 5G doesn’t go very far to begin with.
Basically, 5G signals can be easily blocked by any solid object. This also means that they won’t penetrate far through your body.
Also, unless you have any evidence that 5G does have any safety effects, the burden of proof is on you. Considering that similar intensities of infrared or 4G wavelengths don’t have any harmful effects on health, I don’t know why you’d expect 5G to be any different.

Re:
Microwaves (though not the 5G kind; they’re at the low end of the microwave spectrum and below) can cause burns at high intensities, but not radiation poisoning. Only ionizing radiation like ultraviolet or higher can cause radiation poisoning. Also, radiation poisoning symptoms are nothing like COVID, nor does it spread the same way. Also, 5G is actually worse at penetrating our skin than 4G or below.
It’s also worth noting that GHz refers to frequency, which is inversely proportionate to wavelength. You don’t measure the amount of 5G radiation in GHz because the amount of GHz in 5G is set by definition to a certain range.
As for AM/FM radio waves or radar causing flus, that doesn’t even make sense and is counter to what we know about what happened back then. For one thing, AM radio predated FM radio, so your history is just plain wrong to begin with.
As for whether 5G works or not, the only ways it’s not working well are that it was overhyped to begin with so couldn’t meet expectations, the available bandwidth in the US for 5G was legally limited, 5G deployment has been limited due to the number of towers needed in higher concentrations due to 5G’s limited range, and current 5G antennas are currently more taxing on current batteries. It actually works fine, just not dramatically better than 4G.
And it’s not the satellites that are 5G. Only towers and the antennas in mobile phones are 5G. Satellites are too far for 5G to make it from the satellites to the towers.
Also, COVID spreads well in the same areas that 5G gets deployed because both are big, crowded cities, where flus spread very well and populations are high and dense enough for 5G to be worth it. COVID also spread well in areas like South Dakota where social distancing wasn’t practiced even though 5G deployment there is still rather spotty.
As for getting a dry cough from the flu, I certainly have, and COVID isn’t like other flus.
You clearly know nothing about radiation, physics, biology, or epidemiology.

To replicate those effects would require directed, pulsed, high intensity radiation. 5G communications are nowhere close to that. And it’s not like Cuba has 5G towers, anyways. Also, only part of 5G is in the microwave spectrum, and only part of the microwave spectrum is within 5G, so stop pretending the two are equivalent.
Basically, this study is a complete non sequitur. It’s also not terribly surprising given that microwave weapons and their effects have been well known for quite some time. It just has nothing to do with 5G.

Re: You've LOST the "Tech", now are just DIRT.
So what? None of that suggests any danger from 5G. In particular, the power requirements are irrelevant as they say nothing about the intensity of the beams. The higher power requirements are a direct result of using higher frequencies. At these frequencies, you’d need much higher intensities to experience any health effects at all.
Let’s put it this way: the visible light and infrared light from the Sun is far more dangerous than 5G. It has both higher intensity and higher frequency.
