Title: Do you believe wireless technology is harmful and do you use it anyway?
Post by: unwieldy on January 23, 2026, 12:07:40 PM
I firmly believe in a lot of conspiracy theories, such as the belief that bluetooth headphones cause brain cancer. Do you believe it?

In any case, I hate a desk full of wires too, so I find myself irritated by the sight of wires, yet unwilling to opt in for voluntary cancer


Second thread idea: do you still read physical books, and how do you do it?
I never read books, and everytime I want to try it, I end up fixating on how it's impossible to do so with good ergonomy, it seems a very unnatural activity


Third thread idea: Do you consider home heating a luxury and do you use it?
Personally, after having been nearly wiped out, and the economy being fucked, I no longer feel that using home heating is financially responsible, so I use 6 layers of clothes on my upper body, and I wear track pants under my jeans (occasionally 2 layers of jeans) to get me through the winter.

Be safe and minimize exposure that you can control.
Once you have had some interference issues with devices you will know that these things pack quite the punch - so tread with care.

Yeah, I am going to stick with my tinfoil hat setup. I am also mindful about not only electromagnetic fields, but also electric fields in general, so I dont plug in headsets in powerful devices, it sends a high amount of electricity to your skull despite no electromagnetism. At least thats what my tinfoil hat measurement device revealed to me.

I only read physical books. Listening to them is not reading.

If you think that the radio waves connected with Bluetooth are bad for you... What about the radio waves associated with FM radio?...Or tv stations?... Or your grand dad's CB transceiver?...

I read books on my phone.

I get distracted immediately when trying to do so by the multitude of stuff triggering me on the phone

I measure and test so I know that bluetooth sends strong emf signals and I have not picked up fm waves nor do I have a radio

Even if you don't have a radio or tv, radio waves from  broadcasting are still there...

They are but this can't be compared to the electromagnetic waves emited by wireless devices

It’s almost impossible to avoid wireless waves of various kind now.   Your car is chock full of it.   Bluetooth, Sirius, Satellite GPS and of course you take your phone with you which is even more. 

I read a lot of books.  Rarely physical ones unless I am rereading a book that I bought while living in Atlanta.   Otherwise I read them on my iPad.  I download them for free from various sites  When I travel and take those 20-30 hour flights, I can usually finish one book each way.  Provided I don’t get bored, watch tv, and fall asleep.  I had to spend 5 days in South Plainfield NJ and 2 days in NYC two weeks ago.  I started one that I got half way through.  Will finish in two weeks while at training in Orlando. 

Then will start looking at Barnes and Nobles sites to see what the latest releases are to download and give a shot for my March and May gigs.

nevertheless you do have a level of control in how much you allow yourself to be exposed to.

No, I really don't pay attention to it.  I guess I should.
