Given that EM serves as a lense into our homes, would this provide an effective counter measure??

    EMF paint definitely exists, its been used on military planes for decades now. But the emf paint from Aliexpress? Definitely sus.

    EMF observation may be technically capable of all of those things, but realistically, anyone who would go to that extreme (of targetting a single households occupants) is equally capable/likely to just barge in, arrest you and slap an ankle monitor and security cameras in your house. So its kinda pointless to worry about it.

      I mean, yeah, I was gonna say… EMF paint exists.

      It tends to be refferred to as, or as some component of RAM… radar absorbment material.

      Yeah, every… stealth aircraft is more than just magic geometry, its also RAM that absorbs EMF and then presumably either thermally heats up or something?

      That shit is unimaginably classified.

      But yes, you’re right that basically any entity capable of wifi sensing your precise movements in a room, is also just gonna knock down your door.

      They would be using the wifi sensing to determine that you are actually home, or something like that, as opposed to using a thermal camera or laser acoustics or something like that.

      Pointless to ‘worry’ about it? Yeah probably, if they’re already going that far, you are probably already fucked more or less no matter what you do.

      Good to be aware that it like… exists, though, in a more general, broad way.

          I really really hope that is a joke, and the precise mixture and production process for some kind of RAM has not been leaked on warthunder.

          On the other hand, if it is has…

          Then maybe aliexpress EMF paint is maybe worth actually trying.

          Holy shit this world is so stupid.
