I ignore it as my escape from the daily grind of computing is digging the soldering iron out and building some very minimal kit out of only discrete components. There is something fascinating about extreme minimalism. The fact it transmits and receives is a byproduct of the journey.

You need a physical connection with the universe sometimes.
