    i'll admit i'm totally ignorant about this, but there does seem to be more than a whiff of the antivaxxor hysteria about 5g.

    then again there may well be something to their argument, i dunno. the hysteria makes me a little suspicious tho, as well as the fact that it's quite hard to find first hand information - teh interwebz is flooded with copycat doom mongers, and trying to dig out source info is quite hard

    i did find some material on the ericsson website ( https://www.ericsson.com/en/whit… ) - from the little i've gathered (and understood) about the 5g transmitters is that they only focus their rayguns on receivers and transmitters. so presumably if you don't want to be irradiated then you just need to make sure you don't have a receiver/transmitter, ie a 5g enabled phone.

    • it's the dawn of pervasive computing - 'the internet of things if you will' though, the idea is there will be a transmitter in your everything...kingsteven
    • i want to know more about how devices will 'focus' these signals. i think that part of 5G (the undeveloped technology that will work in the 2 - 100GHz bands)kingsteven
    • is the scariest, as it will probably rely on bouncing signals between devices over short distances...kingsteven
    • so you've got 5 things on your desk, beaming information between themselves. the coffee machine behind you is low, they're all equidistant to your skull...kingsteven
    • Or just don’t have iot devices...hans_glib
    • i was at a thing years ago where a guy demonstrated focusing audio on a spot using beat frequencies generated between two HF transmitters...kingsteven
    • i see the mad conspiracies, but there is an element of 'what i cant see wont harm me' about the sceptics... it seems like a new era of spectral pollution to me.kingsteven
    • aye, but the old school futurist in me knows this technology can make our lives better, the problem is it's incompatibility with capitalism.kingsteven
    • like animals thriving in chernobyl because cancers wont effect them in their natural lifetime someone somewhere is weighing up the risks of this technology inkingsteven
    • terms of profit vs insurance payouts...kingsteven
    • i'm setting up a workshop atm and looking at fine dust extraction (the dust you can't see) looking at the regulation for companies isn't at all close to thekingsteven
    • recommendations, meanwhile folks in mills are developing cancers in their retirement. every mill would go bankrupt if recommendations were enforced...kingsteven
    • same with vehicle emissions, smoking... you cant say the risks aren't real, you can only say that's how society chooses to fuck itself for profit.kingsteven
    • and easier to dismiss the definitively negative side-effects have when they have a latency of decadesFax_Benson
