    So. I have had some recent experiences that have been… Very educational about a lot of the less thought aspects of technology that most people take for granted. H Most faraday bags you can buy are fucking garbage. None of them hurt in the grand scheme of things but they more involved this but I can’t do calculus so feel free to do the math). At around the 5 and 6 ghz range (guess what frequency wifi 6 and 5g operate at?) the gap size in a faraday cage needs to be something like 1-2mm.

    Of course you’re not talking about a farDy cage, but a shielded bag. So buy one, close it with the Velcro clasp, and ask yourself: how snug is sealed Velcro? How much can I roll this up? And all the other myrad questions that lead to the same fucking conclusion: this is not the radio blocking solution you thought it was.

    This isn’t to say you can’t buy a faraday bag that works (even if it does you may need more than one) it’s that as the frequency it gets increasingly difficult to block the signals coming in and out.

    And I don’t understand the math, at all, but I’m not sure how the power of a signal would effect a faraday bag. Like.im assuming it would but.

    Anyway…my point is: if you’re bringing a faraday make very, very, very,VERY fucking sure it actually works.

    How do you do that? I’m not 100% be t I’m pretty sure the equipment needed is complicated and expwnaive.

    Someone more knowledgeable can expand on any of this, . Since everything I’ve learned on the subject has been severely limited by the fact that the Internet is a fucking wasteland.
