Mid to long-term exposure to low-level radiation from in-home wifi, etc is currently an unknown human health risk. Also, if it is a risk, it is a damn inconvenient fact for the industry and the consumer - so most studies regarding this topic are usually defensively funded at least partly by the industry (both direct and client), hence potentially obscured and biased. [For instance, the tobacco industry still I think even now insists that their product isn't "proven" to cause illness, and dares anybody to ever conclusively prove it.]
As a general rule, I personally try to avoid adding another wireless device to my home. Currently I use an older "wired only" SB3 (which unfortunately is not a purchase option anymore I believe), and my home is networked with powerline networking devices (which work perfectly). As I have not become spoiled with the convenience of wifi (yet), I don't miss it at all, and don't feel defensive about the topic. Also, I've heard from others that Wayne at Bolder Cable will take out the wireless card in a SqueezeBox for a very minimal fee... -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70112 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
