If I disable the WIFI card from the device manager, is it truly off?
If I disable the WIFI card from the device manager, is it truly off?

My concern is the Electromagnetic energy that these cards put off...

new studies show that the amount of energy recieved from the user of a
laptop is very similar
as if you are using a cellphone, because it may be further away than a
cellphone but the duration of use is higher as well
as the frequency of the waves are lower thus they are being absorbed at a
higher rate by the body.

I am talking here about desktop computers with cards, but I would also like
to know if this applies to LAPTOP.

There is increasing concern about the negative effects of the EM waves...

I dont want to debate if there is danger or not since I posted this question
one time again in the past in another newsgroup
but only got wiseguy argumentive or joke responses and no one knew a real
answer.
If you dont know the answer to the question refrain from posting
your own theory about this phenomena please... and no tinfoil jokes please.

This is a serious matter.

so if I disable it from the device manager is the antenna truly off 100%?


THANKS

Well, actually, the general consensus amongst scientists is that the
microwave radiation from mobile phones and other wireless devices is safe.
The early research saying otherwise has been largely discredited.

Please tell use more about other things in the modern world that you shield
yourself from. Are you a Mormon by any chance?

Re: If I disable the WIFI card from the device manager, is it truly off?
my question is for a hospital with disabled kids
that they will be given a charity with laptops, they will have lan cables
and wifi but it would be good to know
if turning on and off the wifi would reduce their exposure

some are under 10 and some are very sick

any more awful mean comments?

In short, maybe. To be sure, pull the card out.

If you're worried about the RF from WiFi, you'd better also take the
batteries out of your cordless phones, don't use the microwave oven, ditch
your cordless mouse, and beware of many other remote controls - some are
infrared, some use the same 2.4GHz band as all the above.

Please don't make any snide, rude or despairing remarks about tinfoil!
If you want to really protect yourself from EM waves you will wear:
1) a heavy duty tin foiled hat.
2) tin foil lined underwear (again heavy duty).
This will provide adequate protection for the most important and
sensitive parts of the male anatomy..i.e., your brains and your balls.
Frank

p.s. always wear the tinfoil SHINY SIDE OUT!!! Very important!

By the tone of most replies, it sounds as if it's already too late for them
to be much concerned about this issue.

You would probably be further ahead doing some google research........
