To be clear my statements were all facetious with varying levels of seriousness, and that one was the least serious. The thrust being to point out the hypocrisy of the neofascists saying "reduce regulations" while they actually mean increasing centralized control over our lives.
Though I will say with all of the blind destruction going on, now wouldn't be the worst time to end up trying out those idealistic theories about larger adoption of spread spectrum...
- yummypaint 2y agoThere is too much momentum involved in this stuff for people who have no clue what they're doing to take the wheel. All it takes is a year of allowing emitting garbage on the market and we could cripple radio astronomy for a generation. Even if the problem is corrected as quickly as it can be on a governmental timescale, all these junk devices will be in circulation for decades.
- mindslight 2y agoIt fees like we're already running that experiment in low level way? Like are all those GENSYM brands of gizmos on Amazon really passing EMC? I remember when overbright non-FMVSS HID/LED headlights started becoming a thing, then the DOT cracked down on imports for a while (but never actually put a stop to it). Then they just seemingly just gave up, because it was impossible to actually stop. I figured the dynamic is similar with RF emissions.
