Comment on RF Shielding History: When the FCC Cracked Down on Computers

Comments

Tangentially related: once I bought a no name Amazon HDMI switch that would cause FM interference but only when the screen was mostly white: https://youtu.be/n2DPLEvwO-k

Another reason to use dark mode I guess

What's interesting is that HDMI is supposed to have a scrambling system that prevents any repeating pattern from causing EMI. I wonder if there was an unshielded, unscrambled raw data path somewhere in the switch.
