minus-squarefelixwhynot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoTried to fact check this but I can’t find evidence that 5g can be blocked by paper. Looks like it’s in 24-28ghz and while it can be blocked with materials the density matters. So maybe like a few books thick of paper but not one sheet?
