quotes from the article in context (from a 16,000 word patent):
"Excessive lighting emanating from wireless devices can also create disruption in dark environments. While it is well known that excessive or bright lighting in a movie theater can spoil the mood of certain movies, excessive lighting can also become a more serious issue in other contexts. For example, darkrooms used to develop film can only tolerate very low amounts of ambient lighting. Some biological labs also require low levels of lighting in certain instances (for example, as in the growth of light-sensitive bacteria). Covert police or government operations may require complete "blackout" conditions. A person's sleep can even be interrupted by a bright flashing or modulating display (such as to indicate an incoming call)."
"Wireless devices therefore can create problems with excessive emanations of sound and light, and also by posing safety issues to others via electromagnetic radiation from their antenna. However, these are not the only problems presented by wireless devices. For example, a wireless camera hidden in an area or brought in by another individual (e.g., a cellular phone camera) where privacy is normally reasonably expected such as a department store changing room, bathroom or locker room is one example of a significant threat to such privacy. Additionally, the wireless transmission of sensitive information to a remote source is one example of a threat to security. This sensitive information could be anything from classified government information to questions or answers to an examination administered in an academic setting."

Every time I'm forced to download and restart the endless updates from Apple....my "display brightness" is reset to "0". I can barely see the screen on restart. Someone at Apple should be shot in the fucking head.
- Haha. Bit excessive mate. Especially seeing that I've not had this problem. SO, because something has affected you specifically, someone should be shot?!Ianbolton

I signed up for Apple TV+ to watch the Beastie Boys Story last night. It said it was compatible with Samsung Smart TVs so I go to watch it but it only works with the models that are 2018 and newer. My TV is a 2017! So I tried to watch it on my other TV that has a 2nd Gen Apple TV hooked up to it. Well it only works on 3rd gen and newer ones. So then I tried to Airplay from my iPhone XR to the 2nd Gen Apple TV and I get a "There's a problem loading this content".
First World Problems I know but Fuck You Apple I wanted to watch it on a bigger screen than my iPhone or iMac.- Lol 2018 and newer.nb
- That's crazy. So you can watch it on your phone, but it doesn't let you Airplay? That's been common for numerous content providers over the years.mg33
- I remember when I couldn't play HBO Go on an iPad with an HDMI cable to the TV because it didn't let you do it that way. Always so weird.mg33
- "There's a problem loading this content" is usually an HDCP issue between A TV and a device not handshaking well.evilpeacock
- ^ from his iPhone to appleTV.nb
- My parents AppleTv apps stopped working out of nowhere. Thanks Apple.instrmntl
- My parents had the same TV for 30 years and now I have to update mine every 2 years?fooler
- Tim Apple needs that yacht money Fooler.PhanLo
- @istrm.. have you tried to reboot? settings> reboot. i love my apple-tv 4K just sometimes the normal remote is making problems (pause)api
- Can't screen mirror to your Apple TV? I've done that with apps that don't play nice with my older AppleTV.Gucci
- Sit really close to your iPad, then look through binoculars the wrong way, it'll feel like you're watching it on a big screen.shapesalad
- I mirror my Iphone via an Amazon Firestick app. Apple never make it easy.PhanLo
- If the Beastie Boys Story is the sketch comedy thing when they tell stories from the past, you have to make sure you see that somehow...CyBrainX
- It's fantastic. I saw them do it live in NYC two years ago.CyBrainX
- I hooked a PC up to my TV. Now i can watch all content on earth. Run VPN, all versions of Netflix. Torrents. Never bothered with that smart tv crap.jagara
- i wanted to mirror skype from an newer gen iphone to apple-TV, its not working - just facetime. don't know if it should work.api
