First time I saw a room full of non-crt computer monitors, found out Merrill Lynch moved to a new building to save money. What they discovered is the CRTs would weird out every time the subway train went by. All the cash saved by moving was lost buying the stupid expensive monitors.
- fragmede 7y agoI wouldn't have considered trains to be a source of EM interference but in retrospect it makes sense. one that's amazed me is that military jets and warships cause some of the nearby consumer electronics go wonky, but as they literally run systems that are trying to jam radio waves, it makes a ton of sense that eg garage doors have trouble keeping up.
