Yes the thing blocking only my vehicle is a barrier in the event of an emergency. Never mind that it turns off with the car or that the driver can pull it out of the cigarette lighter at any time.

The signal is imperceptible outside a 1980s truck.
On a modern vehicle if you are more than a foot away from the door it can’t be measured.
They are cheap devices without much long range punch, but effective for the range they cover.
Yes most are made in China, Taiwan, or Vietnam, but that doesn’t matter if you are checking them. Frankly the cheaper one don’t even cover that range.
Long range stuff like radar jammers are doing very different shit.

Maybe people just don’t 100% trust the word of someone they don’t know on the internet, when they make claims without any supporting evidence. That’s not dumb; it’s appropriately cautious. Do you have any evidence to back up what you say?

There were a beautiful few weeks when Lemmy was a more pleasant place with better quality of discussion than reddit. Unfortunately that time seems to have passed.

How is it unsafe. You shouldn’t be on your phone if the engine is running.
