Something something, part 15 of the FCC rules. Maybe don't do this.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received

-back of every device, it seemed, in the 90s

Worse: in the 1980s, the FCC was convinced that personal computers were from the Devil and they forced 8-bit computer manufacturers to install these really heavy and bulky metal RF shields around the motherboards...for reasons.

I always wondered why it was required to accept any interference received. Just so the government can fuck with your shit if they want?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

It has to accept interference without blowing up, basically. It also can't cause interference.

Just a guess, but probably some kind of "emergency broadcast" type of thing?

No, it can't react poorly to receiving interference from another nearby device. Basically it can't malfunction just because you put it next to your toaster.

Well as long as he's not got (1) written on his RPi, I'd say we're all good.
