I see videos of people fixing razor blades to the back of their mobile phones, but they never explain why? Why?


It increases the wi-fi range by 500% (or maybe zero if you have any common sense).

Have you seen the often repeated posting about free electricity to charge your mobile phone? Take a (car) spark plug Attach a wire to either end. Connect these two wires to the live and neutral connectors on you mains phone charger. Plug in the charging lead to your phone and see that it's charging. It must work because its all over social media!

The fact of the matter is that any large chunk of metal makes RF antenna radiation change dramatically. The problem is its not always for the better,

Nope, some fool claims that it helps heaps on social media

Forget what it is supposed to help with, think its time on battery charge

Depending on whether you use a robot or fruit, so are the Koreans or the Californians.

No problem - unless he answers you.

Because they don't know why.

It's voodoo tech.

There seem to be two reasons these clowns are doing this: 1.It makes your WiFi stronger and better.

  1. It runs cooler.

There are a lot of ignorant fools out there most of them seem to be on facebook.

Could having a razor blade on your phone be considered as carrying an offensive weapon?

Probably, if saying 'hello gorgeous' constitutes sexual harassment...

A colleague of mine, a contractor, never watches the BBC or ITV News, he gets all the information he needs from TikTok. Some of it (ahem) is dubious, at best. He is convinced that everyone's TV set is spying on them, and there is no such thing as Bird 'Flu.

I suppose he might be right. Or not.

No evidence of that and its trivial to check if it does and it is very unlikely that the razor blade would do that

Even less likely. More likely to make it run hotter given that it is silver on a black back shell and even easier to measure

In both cases I expect it rather depends on context.

Everyone knows that Bird Flu is an accidental byproduct of chemtrails.
