Remember how old speakers would let you know if you were about to get a cellphone call. It was like digital precognition haha

- genewitch 3y agoyou can still hear cellphone and wifi noise in crappy amplifiers - i have two sets of active muff hearing protection - the ones with microphones on each earpiece, and if you get inbetween a beamforming WAP or near any wifi antenna, or near a cellphone, you get "brrz bz bz bz bzzzzzz tiktiktiktiktik". But this is different than the old <2g/edge phones, which wouldn't interfere unless you were about to get a call - because the tower said "where's this phone?" and your phone would max out it's tx and say "here i am!" and that's what you heard. This is probably incorrect, but based on my observations this is what occurred. Remember the doodads you could put on your startac style phones on the antenna bit, with LEDs in them - they'd light up when you were about to get a call, as well, by design!
- oaktowner 3y agoOMG had forgotten all about that.
- astrange 3y agoSpeakers haven't really changed in 50-60 years, it's the phones that changed there. If you got a call on 2G today it'd still happen.
