Anti-5G quantum machine turns out to be 128MB USB drive

Conspiracy theories surrounding the negative effects of 5G have become increasingly popular online and a company called BioShield Distribution has launched a new device which it claims can protect users from them using “quantum holographic catalyzer technology”.

The 5GBioShild recently went on sale in the UK for £283 ($348) and while the device is shaped like an ordinary USB key, its creators claim in can protect a users' entire home from 5G. On its website, BioShield Distribution provides further details on the technology inside its product, saying:

“The 5GBioShield USB Key with the nano-layer is a quantum holographic catalyzer technology for the balance and harmonisation of the harmful effects of imbalanced electric radiation. The nano-layer operating diameter is either 8 or 40 meters. The 5GBioShield USB Key is resulting from research of several decades in multiple countries. The active key operating diameter shields and harmonizes a complete family home.”

Despite the fact that extensive research has been done on the negative effects of 5G and even the World Health Organization (WHO) says the technology is safe, anti-5G campaigners believe that next-generation-networks can cause a range of health problems and some have even linked 5G to the spread of the coronavirus.

5GBioShield

To see if Bioshield Distribution's claims were true or the company is just masquerading an ordinary USB key as a device capable of protecting users from the effects of 5G, Ken Munro and his colleague Phil Eveleigh from Pen Test Partners ordered a 5GBioShield and dismantled the USB key.

In a blog post, Pen Test Partners detailed its tear down of the key as well as what it found inside, saying:

“As everyone is fully aware it is a USB key, we needed to tear the device down to see what else is within the casing. First, we managed to pull the device off the crystal, which showed nothing other than an LED at the end of the stick, the same as the other ‘crystal’ USB keys we found made in Shenzen. There were no additional components or any connections. The circular area on the main casing looked like it might be where the “quantum holographic catalyzer technology” transmitter might be. Carefully taking that off, not to damage the key components and, with crushing disappointment, it looked exactly like a regular sticker.”

Despite its high asking price, the 5GBioShield is actually a standard USB key with just 128MB of storage. However, this still hasn't stopped consumers from buying the product though as both the one pack and three pack of 5GBioShield USB Keys are currently on backorder on BioShield Distribution's website at the time of writing.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more. But CEO Brett Caine said this is the first time the company is moving into commerce. While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
