Are there ways to design a room or things to put in a room (or the walls?) that would inhibit this ability?
I suppose lead shields or something...
No need. If you skim the article, you'll see it only works on sharp edges. The letters being read here are metal cutouts.
Note to self: "decorate with crystal balls..." Got it!
Lemmy is so damn salty. All you did was explain what was said in the article and some guy disliked your comment lmao
Yeah, but it was only one person. No big deal.
There he iiiiis
Faraday cage?
No need for lead. Just make something similar to those microwave door mesh plates and embed it in with the insulation.
Well, if it's using WiFi, then anything you do will also kill your WiFi signal. So, bare minimum, no WiFi router, only LAN lines.
