That's not how IQ works you idiots.

Wait. Who's the idiots? The ones selling the service, the ones falling for the service, or the embryos that they decide to have low IQ?

I'd say the first two, and if the parents are responsible for the education of the kid, all three.

Re one, what is worse? People selling anti wifi amulets that they know don't work? Or people who sell them while not understanding (nor believing) that they dont work? (More likely it doesnt matter as it remains a scam. Ow god, im getting close to doing actual ethical thinking here).

Reminds me of the Wi-Fi blocking Faraday cages to "protect" modems a few years ago. Those at least did exactly what was promised lol

You can sell an anti-wifi amulet that absolutely works. You can also sell an anti-cellular amulet that works, but the FCC will come down on you like a ton of bricks if you use it.

I'm pretty sure there's no jammers out there that qualify as "amulet" sized.

I'd say number 2. The people selling the service are scammers, but probably not dumb. Or maybe thet are Idk.
