It produces zero radiation like a nuclear reactor and only a little more energy than WiFi. This energy’s only effect is to heat adjacent tissue but much less than the actual heat produced.
I’m Gen X and I’ve been in Information Technology for twenty-eight years. My generation was there at the dawn of personal computing. Yes, there are less technically-savvy people in every generational group, but “older Gen Xers” might consider what you’ve said to be… hmm, what’s the right term? Oh, yes. “Bullshit stereotyping based on age” is the term I’m grasping for here.
I’m well aware of the ELF (Extremely Low-Frequency Radiation) panic. This actually started in the 1970s and rose to national prominence around the late 90s, when it was covered to death by every news outlet. And it was just as silly then as it is now. France is just being France.
And that has little or nothing to do with which generational group you call home.
It took them three years after release to determine this? Were there no FCC-equivalent filings well before then?

They just like using the weasel word “radiation” to make boomers & older gen Xers scared.

They tested on release (it passed), they then re-tested recently (it failed)
