Yeah totally. These things will definitely not interfere with everyone else as well...
Idiot.
Everyone else in the school?
You know you can get a signal blocker with a set range right?
Idiot.
Edit; why can't we make arguements and debate without having to call eachother idiots? It's really childish and pathetic. If your arguement is good you don't need to additionally qualify your opponent as intellectually inferior.
Ladies/Gents/People, could we edit the insults out? Otherwise I'll need to prune the comments. @13esq@lemmy.world @CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works
Jammers are not a feasible option, but lets use this as a friendly place to educate, not just yell at each other.
Because a signal jammer doesn't work just in a range, these things jam by creating noise in a certain radius, but more often than not this noise acts like a wall and blocks signals outside the actual radius, and if you have the thing near a tower it blocks every connection to the tower. Jammers are illegal in almost every country because of that, imagine the things blocking emergency calls, among other very nasty problems.
I hope that range is the same shape as the classroom, and doesn't leak out of doors and windows.
Can you point me to one of these? We could do with something like this for work and I'd like to give examples to the seniors - they'll tell me to sod off but at least I can say I tried ;-)
They won't cough up to turn the office into a Faraday cage :-(
