Thanks! Enjoyable info!
p.s. I looked up IEEE-299. It's a test method standard, not a standard on how well this hat protects you from Larry Ellison or ICE. Too bad!
@oldclumsy_nowmad @futurebird I was going to look it up myself but realised the futility of it. IEEE is not a military organisation and real military standards tend to start with MIL, I think. Even if not, that whole line at the bottom screams fake.

Around 25 years ago, there was a not-very-serious paper from MIT that pointed out that tinfoil hats are basically parabolic reflectors and so, rather than keeping out rays, they will focus them on the brain.
Possibly worth sharing with people who might buy this nonsense.
@david_chisnall @futurebird given the price and material used, guessing they're doing* a mini Faraday cage? while a silly thing to put on one's head, it'd be a great for - random example - tossing your phone inside during a protest
(*gesturing towards uselessly in its intended role as a hat)

@Tak @futurebird
Or exactly like Audiophool cables? -

A Faraday Cage needs to be completely enclosed. Most people regard placing metal all of the way through their necks unfavourably.

@futurebird@sauropods.win
IEEE-299:Uniform measurement procedures and techniques are provided for determining the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding enclosures at frequencies from 9 kHz to 18 GHz (extendable to 50 Hz and 100 GHz, respectively) for enclosures having all dimension greater than or equal to 2.0 m.
damn those people have massive heads@sam @futurebird
The measurements will show the effectiveness is very poor because it doesn't totally enclose the head. That would need a full body with mesh inserts to see, hear and breath, unless the head is removed. -

Getting a metal mesh implanted below my brain so I can get full coverage.

It does have fake vibes, for sure.
p.s. I'm not up to date on the subject of MIL stds, but in the past some military equipment has been specified by IEEE standards. Onesy-twosy stuff, experimental or noncritical, or for testing not service.

There aren't any common waves that could hurt your brain.
BUT
If you want to know about something invisible, that most people don't know about that can impact your health in persistent mild but still bad ways? Look up "infrasound" --

The "Wavestopper" costs $88 Free Shipping!
(I checked. It is not an April Fools joke. Selling to people with "brain fog" feels a little predatory to me.)
@futurebird if only there were some kind of thing one could put on their head to prevent brain fog..

Well, I mean look at the picture: can't have any brain fog if there's no brain, right..?!

@futurebird @david_chisnall @xlrobot I have loads of fillings, so I think I am good.

@futurebird Perfect gift for one of my neighbors. If she sees someone with a cell-phone she literally runs in the other direction. I don't have the heart to tell her when she's petting my cat that he's wearing an AirTag. If the hat were $8 rather than $88 I might buy it for her.

I wonder if the name "Havn" is a take on the "Havana syndrome" thing where Russia or whoever has been attacking US government employees, diplomats, etc. with an unknown weapon that uses some kind of radio waves (supposedly the CIA has now obtained one and is analyzing it, per 60 Minutes)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_syndromeMaybe they're hoping some kind of subliminal messaging on a word people have vaguely heard in this context before will boost sales.

I always travel with my bull elephant, Stompie. He's irritated by socially improper infrasound sources, so if there's anyone zapping me I can tell. Can't necessarily tell who they were, after he's done with them.

@futurebird At some freqencies finfoil hats seems to actually amplify the signal

Now this I buy more than the 88 having a meaning in this case. (88 can be a dogwhistle... I just don't think it is this time?)

The real "wavestopper" that will protect your brain is a robust ad blocker, and get off of facebook.
If I say that ads give out brainrot waves would people be more excited about this?
@futurebird ads genuinely cause palpable constant psychic damage and the capitalists are making it harder and harder to avoid it. every billboard i see makes me wish i had a rocket launcher
