Jesus, an entire town falling for unscientific bullshit.

It's also not like they're going to point the antennas straight down at the school. They have directionality. I bet not one RF engineer was consulted.

And make paperclips.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services?
