I use arch btw

@ostream not quite. It was 1688, and they weren't under influence. They were just teasing and harassing guards near Yauza Gates Square

@Demolishun why? Have the first phones been using radioactive decay for communication? ☢️

I don’t want to read the links now, sorry.
I guess it’s ok to be cautious and it’s true that we need to wait for long term study results, but on the other hand, I’m pretty sure that a lot of tests have shown that even with higher power output, there are practically no immediate effects on the human body.
At least with those frequencies used by cell phones.
I know that the military has microwave weapons but those use other frequencies and a much, much higher energy.
So, going back to your original statement, there is no way that old phones used to cause tumors or any other harm.
The exposure was very short, compared to now, and even with higher power output, absolutely harmless.

@Demolishun I don’t want to mock you. I respect your point of you. I’m just not in the mood to dive deep into research right now. That’s why I don’t want to read your links. I wanted to let you know that I have looked up some stuff on that topic in the past, though. So, I’m not completely oblivious or clueless ^^.

@Demolishun don’t worry about it, pal 😄

@Demolishun The most common WiFi frequency is 2.4 GHz. It’s the same as in your microwave, and it merely makes water molecules vibrate, producing heat. WiFi router wave energy is negligent compared to a microwave.

@Demolishun my stepdad was an absolute crackpot when it came to WiFi and cellphones. As a kid I kinda believed it because I had no choice, and later I aggressively denied anything that had something to do with him, including this microwave thing. So I might be biased.

I found Thunderf00t's explanation most compelling and scientific, and it also makes a nice watch bc it's a "busted" video. I like them a lot.

@Demolishun for me, the coolest aspect of microwaves is that they are literally everywhere. They produce the CMB and we can learn so much about our universe because of microwaves.
Microwave ovens are cool, too. 😄

@Demolishun
They probably differ by a little otherwise water vapor in the atmosphere would diminish the signal quite a bit. People have been Wi-Fi with huge antennas I think over 200 miles. I don't think you could do that if water vapor could diminish the signal.

@Demolishun yes, that’s the frequency 007

scnr 😆
