SWITCH EMF radiation

[Creamu]

Hello,

I'm getting increasingly scared about the things happening in the world, possible bombardment that causes radiation poisening for example, and want to improve my inviroment in terms of radiation. Has anyone measured how much EMF radiation a switch puts out. Since in handheld mode it is pretty close to the head it is important for me to know.

It's probably not higher than from a phone which millions of people put on their ear for long periods of time.
Don't worry about it, the radiation from household items isn't even strong enough to damage cells in our body.

the switch isnt gonna cause radiation sickness lol. i mean, just think about it. Radio waves, infrared, visible light, UV, gamma waves, etc, are all photons. We can see visible light, it doesn't hurt us at all. UV only hurts you at the high end of the spectrum, and that's just a sunburn. Then, waaay below UV and visible light is radio waves. that, besides light, is the only kind of radiation your switch's gonna emit. why the hell would radio waves hurt you if all the other things that hurt you are super high energy, above what you can see, when radio waves are super low energy, below what you can see. Just doesn't make sense.

Radiation issues were fixed in a firmware update

I herd using sigpatches doubles the radiation tho

That's why piracy is not supported

Radiation concerns are why I turn off Bluetooth, disable wifi and use both 90DNS and dns:mitm. Can never be too safe (for piracy.)

they say if you put the switch on the microwave you can affect and possibly nullify such radiations. It's the "fight radiation with radiation principle theory™".

what you are looking for is a faraday cage

You probably should be more worried about your mobile phone.
Nintendo should be responsible for sore thumbs and tired eyes. You should definitely cut down if you suffer from that.

PS: there are tools to slow down the clock if you are interested to reduce EM radiation form digital circuits. Clock speed directly affects the amount of EM radiation that comes from the operations of digital electronics. Distance works even better, clock speed is linear impact, distance gives you ^2 drop.

Is this weird bait of some sort? Who honestly is scared they're going to get radiation sickness from a Nintendo Switch... If anything, you at least got a giggle out of me for asking this silly question.

Don't sweat it. It is a small amount of radiation (non-ionizing). I could list other things you should be more concerned about, but don't want to make you paranoid.

actually putting your switch in the microwave might be a good idea...once the EMP is about to detonate

You can't make the Switch into an EMP bomb. An EMP bomb is actually a bomb so your microwave oven is not likely to be able to hold it any more than the conventional bomb.

But that microwave oven is design to shield 2.4GHz so if you are concern about your BT and WiFi fying your brain then put your switch inside there is going to definitely solved your problem with 2.4GHz radiation. ( but since BT and WiFi won't work inside there you might as well just turn it off )

but the microwave can act as a faraday cage and it can protect your switch in the event Russia drops and EMP

Hope the bomb don't destroy Mario source code.

yep, all microwave ovens have one on the cooking container, if not you will get cooked stand in front of him, like the man who discover the principle of the magnetron.

EMF poisoning is a story some wellness groups make up because they want to sell you EMF protection devices.

AFAIK, there is one creditable study which found keeping your phone in your pocket reduces sperm production, but much of the information online about EMF related health issues exaggerates said issues to mythical proportions. Just keep your Switch Lite on flight mode whenever you're not using the internet. If you want to look after your health, eat cleanly, exercise regularly and avoid smoking. Being paranoid will only waste your time.

Why are all of you such assholes to people? Not that hard to be nice to someone who feels they have a legitimate problem or fear.

That is why I carry a pager and only turn on my phone when necessary.
( actually I don't do that, but that would be a good solution )

Anyone worry about sitting too near the TV?

How about the food that we eat? I do think there is cause for concern how the food we eat may be very bad for us.

How about the micro plastic that is everywhere.

The latest trend is to worry about blue light.
