There’s more to it than that. It’s better for the longevity of the components to be shielded, and the noise it gives iff could bother you in your home, in terms of wifi, Bluetooth, etc interference. I practice electric guitar at home and I don’t want an unshielded computer near me when I’m doing that.

> It’s better for the longevity of the components to be shielded Can you say more about this?

  I tried to find sources to verify and it wasn’t as easy as I thought. I just assumed that shielding your components from EMI would shield them from voltage spikes due to EMI. It does shield you from bit flips due to EMI. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10805927 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10805927

    Reverse voltages from stray fields can definitely kill a gate.

      Sure. But but there's a difference between not walking across a carpet with them on a dry day and in situ shielding to prevent EMI.
