Seems my Raspberry Pi is emitting RF interference! I can hear a pulse of static when the CPU has a load spike. Naughty!
@onfy someone call the FCC
@noiob hello FCC? someone in the UK is being naughty!
@onfy wait I thought you were in Canada
@onfy ah okay, I was confused for a sec
creating interference is a crime in and of itself in most countries, not just making things that create interference (though you'd prolly need more power than a raspi to be breaking the law lol). I only know the FCC rules because they used to print them on macbooks
@onfy aluminium isn't ferromagnetic
@noiob well shit.
@onfy would be kinda shit otherwise considering there's like, RF antennae on the board
@noiob I think that's why laptops have these little wires...
@onfy yup, iirc placing antennae on the sides of the lid is pretty common for obvious reasons
@noiob engineers aren't stupid, who knew?
@onfy coming back to PCB antennae which can work extremely well for a fraction of the cost of pulling tiny wires but they need more space (actually afaik even the ones on tiny wires are printed these days)
@noiob yeah, this device may not cause harmful interference... seems like Pi foundation is breaking that rule...
also kinda silly since the 400 HAS an aluminium heatsink in it, guess it isn't thick enough...
and that's why the NES is 50% metal...
