To the tune of the Sesame Street song: Faraday cage, sweeping the signal away

I don't know if transparent Faraday cages are possible, but there's apparently at least one company that will EM shield entire rooms.

Depending on your budget, you could faraday enclose the whole room / building rather than trying to do an individual device.

As related reading from back in the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename)

Damnit. They're going to embed signals in the harmonics of the sound system, and invert the sound systems of neighboring connected devices to act as microphones. So you'll need a Faraday cage and a fully soundproofed and seismically-proofed room.


Of course then you can't use your phone inside your house/living room.


I'm already sold on the idea, you don't need to keep on selling it to me. :)


lol


They still sell landlines.
