You've just defined the day where I build a fucking Faraday cage around my TV.

You don't understand the level of "Fuck these people and their invasive shit" that I'm will to go to.. lol



Side topic on Faraday cages. I have an elevator in the middle of my building, inside is all steal panels, again in the middle of a big building, and I still get cell service. Can talk on my phone up/down the entire time.?

I thought it would be a Faraday cage and cut that out?


A true Faraday cage would kill the signals. I suspect that wasn't designed as a Faraday cage. It's an elevator.

There could also be a cellular extender inside the building. I happen to work in a building with LOTS of materials that block signals from the outside. The windows are bulletproof, the walls contain metal plates, etc.

We have to use a cellular extender to get cell signal inside, however, the building wasn't designed as a Faraday cage. It just happens to hamper signals in a similar way.
