connda Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Has anyone seen any electro-magnetic radiation shields for laptops sold here in Thailand? I'd like to have some shielding between me and 'the boyz', if ya know what I mean. I can only find them online.
Crossy Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 What exactly are you trying to shield against? RF from your lappie hurting you, RF getting into your lappie and hurting it, 'someone' reading your data by remote control? Don't forget, shielding your lappie will stop the WiFi working. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

The wireless card will generate RF radiation. I just turn my wireless card off before 95% of the time I'm hooked to an ethernet cable. And if I'm at a Wifi hot spot, my laptop isn't on my lap, it's on a table. So I'm not too concerned about RF. The laptop also generates Electro-magnetic radiation as does any electronic device. A lot of debate about whether it's harmful or not. I personally don't know, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. So I wouldn't mind having a shielding pad that shields EMF and absorbs heat.
Pib Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Why don't you care about shielding yourself from all the other electromagnetic transmissions (i.e., what you refer to as RF) bombarding your body everyday such as cell phone towers, folks using cells phones, satellite TV transmissions, radar transmissions, standard TV and Radio tower transmissions, cosmic rays, just all kinds of electromagnetic/RF transmissions which is impossible to shield yourself from unless you want to live in a Faraday shield home and body suit? Is the RF coming from your laptop more damaging (not to imply it is) than above mentioned RF? 1
infinity11 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 What effect is all of this and other is having on us? It's a wonder we continue to live and breath?

Aachen Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 You forgot Earth Radiation. I know nobody to survive this more than 100 years. So beware...

Crossy Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Many moons ago (ok 1998) a Malaysian Chinese colleague who can remain nameless (you know who you are Richard) used a wired hands-free on his phone because he didn't want to fry his brain. I made a simple observation to him, he kept his phone in his pocket whilst using the hands-free so he was truly hands free, he wasn't frying his brain, he was frying something else. He has multiple kids, all with two arms, two legs etc. Back on topic, opinion is divided on whether low level RF is harmful, but many if not all laptops have internal shielding anyway, so any additional external shields are pointless.

Or take out some seeds when you are still young and store them in the deep freeze for later use....
