    Didn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up.

    the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal.

    Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not.

    I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p

      The successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.

            Um, by “look up”, if you mean my reply, I was spelling it how it’s spelled over in Europe, not America.

                Ah, so you were speaking geographically, and not Lemmyically.
