occasionally we remember that there are people out there who just sell "wireless antistatic wristbands" like that's actually a thing that's possible
i mean i guess it might be possible if it contained a dangerous amount of radioactive material but uh
if *that* was how they claimed to work, they'd have every government agency in the world after them

we've seen one opened up, it just contains a 1 MΩ resistor with one end just not connected to anything
the real ones also contain a 1 MΩ resistor, between the metal panel that makes contact to your wrist and the snap contact where you attach the cord, these just don't have the snap contact
