Why stop there? We can dream bigger. Get yourself an open source AESA radar with a 20km range and start microwaving away.

Its way cheaper and just as effective to pull an old satellite dish out of someone’s bin, and aim it towards them

[-]

aspie_electrician@reddit

It’s cheaper and more effective to bypass the door switches in a microwave oven, remove the door and point it at them…

[-]

ShortTheseNuts@reddit

I mean it's just as effective to pull out a cucumber and point it at them. Arguably even more so because they'll be weirded the fuck out.

[-]

sebastianinspace@reddit

why stop there? there is a crowd dispersal weapon used by the US military called ADS, just build one in a room with a window facing their house and turn it on.

ISwearImAnonymous@reddit

For 250 you can surround their house with microwaves, dude is being modest

[-]

aspie_electrician@reddit

Or free with a dumpster sourced microwave oven

[-]

ISwearImAnonymous@reddit

Well yeah, if it works and you somehow fit them in there. If you use 250 to buy barely functioning microwaves you can build a microwave around them instead of bringing them to the microwave

[-]

papa_jhones@reddit

is WiFi sickness even a real thing lmfao

[-]

djhenry@reddit

The symptoms can be real (nocebo effect), but yeah, they're not from the Wi-Fi itself. When tested, people only felt bad when the lights of the router were turned on, not the antenna.

[-]

Levoso_con_v@reddit

Same as a placebo but you feel worse instead of better.

[-]

Buttchugger2@reddit

That’s it? I obviously didn’t ever care to look it up but I thought it was some kind of derivative contrapositive logic concept. Fucking scientists man.

[-]

616659@reddit

Placebo but it makes u feel sick instead of makes u feel cured

[-]

WantonKerfuffle@reddit

Nah, it's a combination of wanting to think critically and lacking the education necessary to differentiate between facts and quack.

[-]

VzSAurora@reddit

Science says no, and I tend to trust it.

That said they said asbestos was safe, and there's a lot more money in microwave radiation than that.

[-]

holymacaronibatman@reddit

That said they said asbestos was safe

That was mostly businesses arguing that it was safe, the dangers were noted way back in the 1890s

[-]

The_Knife_Pie@reddit

Microwave radiation simply is not ionising. Get an emitter with high enough power and it’ll cook you, but it can never do the things X or gamma rays can.

[-]

Stargost_@reddit

No.

If it were, they'd be unable to function anywhere near civilisation since any telecommunications tower would fry them.

[-]

airfryerfuntime@reddit

No, and you'd have to crank transmitting power up to like a kilowatt before you'd feed anything.

Should tell them regular radio waves are the same as WIFI.

AM radio frequencies range from 535 to 1605 kHz, while FM radio frequencies are between 88 and 108 MHz.

Wi-Fi specifically operates on high-frequency radio waves, typically in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

It's all the same, just vibrating faster ;)

be me, move into new apartment come up with genius plan to trick my neighbor into giving me free gigabit 5g internet

[-]

Pinkman505@reddit

if they lock their wifi behind a password than the wifi won't be able to spread through the air and kill the local neighbor boy

[-]

WintersbaneGDX@reddit

be this guy's landlord

anonymously post cuckoo-for-cocoapuffs flyers around the neighborhood that promote 5G radiowave sickness etc.

some tenants fall for it and demand no wifi

others respond by getting strong wifi

others scam both sides for free wifi

I don't have to pay out of pocket to upgrade building to fibre lines, or provide internet as a free utility

Later virgins. 😎

[-]

magicarnival@reddit

Fiber isn't wifi. Also people will still be able to use Ethernet connections even if wifi is "banned"

[-]

WintersbaneGDX@reddit

Technically I said "Later virgins. 😎".

[-]

lmay0000@reddit

Fiber turns into wifi sometime after the kuberbetties home cloister. We all have internet, stop lying

[-]

Hessalam@reddit

I understand that tethering and ethernet interface adapters exist for various devices, but the chances of me using it to connect my cellphone to the internet equates to two tenths of fuck-all.

[-]

magicarnival@reddit

Why would you connect your cellphone to ethernet lmao?? I was referring to computers.

[-]

BappoChan@reddit

Everyone only uses a computer to be online and NOTHING ELSE.

[-]

I never said that's the only thing you can use, I was just pointing out that upgrading the to fiber is still something people would want for Ethernet usage. And for the anon who upgraded his wifi router to have better signal.

[-]

BappoChan@reddit

So at the end of the day even after upgrading you’re still going to be using wifi, unless you only used adapters or devices that support Ethernet.

[-]

magicarnival@reddit

As I pointed out in my first post, if someone was adhering to the wifi "ban" they'd still have a use for a fiber upgrade because they could use Ethernet.

[-]

magicarnival@reddit

I never said that's the only thing they use it for? What?

[-]

SlapMePlease4Fun@reddit

He said "later virgins" 😎

[-]

ImNotABotScoutsHonor@reddit

5G isn't the same as 5Ghz WiFi.
They'd also need a password to access it.

[-]

Levoso_con_v@reddit

Then hide the wifi signal so it doesn't appear in any device, tell them you disconnected your wifi and ask how the kid's sickness goes every month, if the kid is good, after a year or two tell them you had your wifi on for the last 2 years and they didn't notice.

This was such a strange plot line thrown right into the middle of a cartel drug TV show. I really appreciated the divergence between, "Holy hell I am about to die in the desert" to "my brother is wearing a space blanket under his suit to protect himself from electrical interference."

[-]

PP_BOY__@reddit

It wasn't thrown right into the middle of a cartel drug TV show, it was there from the pilot of a character drama-comedy, way before the cartel stuffwas brought in.

It was frankly 10x more interesting than just seeing the same characters from Breaking Bad acting the same way as they did in Breaking Bad. The first 3 seasons were peak before the cartelslop and seeing what Gus Fring is up to every ten minutes ruined it.

[-]

HanselSoHotRightNow@reddit

Take it easy super fan, light hearted description of a plot I enjoyed. You ride high on the emotional Richter scale when it comes to Vince Gilligan content aye? I did not know.

This is one of those shows where the pitch for the plot seems fairly mediocre (details about a lawyer's professional growth/having a brother who is mentally ill) and the execution is absolutely phenomenal.

[-]

GoGoSoLo@reddit

I hated it, and so much time is spent on it that I’ve given up trying to get into the show twice. I hear it gets great but boy is season 1 slow and full of this dummy.

[-]

drcmorbuts@reddit

Not for long if they’re taking out coke machines, they may take away the free WiFi too.

[-]

christianbro@reddit

Get a microwave, bypass the lock mechanism, turn on and have thousands more times the power than wifi

[-]

StalkMeNowCrazyLady@reddit

Just buy a narrow beam transmitter from ubiquiti and point it in their direction. Hell, build a cantenna for $20.

[-]

WantonKerfuffle@reddit

Doesn't have to be Ubiquity - any sector antenna will do. I have one on my balcony to beam free wifi from my balcony to a couple benches. I believe it was 24 Euros, not sure tho. If your router has SMA connectors, you're set.

[-]

ShortTheseNuts@reddit

För what purpose do you need the wifi on these specific benches? Are they your smoking benches and you want to be able to scroll while smoking or what's up with these VIP treatment benches.

[-]

WantonKerfuffle@reddit

I dön't need wifi on these benches and what I'm doing is pretty much the exact opposite of VIP. Since you mixed an ö in your comment I'll assume you're from the DACh-Region, so I'll just drop the word "Freifunk" and you can dive into that rabbit hole if you like.

What a coincidence wanted to buy a new router this weekend. Will check this thread for recommendations later.

[-]

WantonKerfuffle@reddit

If you're a techy, get one that's compatible with OpenWRT. TP Link has a few good ones.

If you're looking for one that has lots of transmitting power - they are all capped to their legal maximum. Sorry. If you get a model with screw-on antennas (antennae?), you can choose ones that create a differently shaped wifi zone (idk the proper term) that's suitable for your space.

[-]

djhenry@reddit

Antennas and hardware matter a lot. I'm a big fan of ubiquity access points. Technically the same transmission power as my old Linksys, but the use of multiple antennas and better filtering means I have much better coverage and speed. No more dropping the Wi-Fi connection randomly.

[-]

WantonKerfuffle@reddit

Yeah, the beamforming, MU-MIMO and whatever else is in WiFi 7 is pretty close to magic.

"Yeah sure we'll bounce a beam off the sofa, timed in such a manner that it arrives in sequence with a signal bounced off the ceiling fan, ezpz"

My point is: raw power isn't what makes an AP any good. It's about how that power is used.

(Also, even if the transmitter can cook a small bird mid-flight, that transmitting range means jack shit if the phone can't shout back just as loudly, so not only is cranking out extra watts super illegal, it's also rather pointless)

At my university, my friend worked in the IT dept and got complaints all the time about WiFi headaches from this lady who had an access point outside her office. They ended up just turning off the LEDs and told her it got shut off and she stopped complaining.
