To be effective you have to shape it in the form of a hat and cover router.

That only helps to keep the government out (be aware that your WiFi enabled microwave won't work anymore though)

It may work under some conditions because the foil could act as a mirror to the radio waves.
On the other hand, because the wavelength of 2.4 GHz is about 12.5 cm, if the foil was close to the antenna, the reflections could cancel out direct radiation from the antenna in places. This would lead to hit and miss reception depending on the exact placement of the WiFi device.

Rabbit Ears would probably work just as well as tin foil, right?

It would be better to use the tin foil as a hat to keep the space aliens from controlling your mind.

This is not a programming question.
Very odd post - I am actually asking for opinions...
Please share your actual experience and tell your opinion
(in few words, do not want to take too much of your time )
what you recommend as
C++ learning book ( no u-tube, PLEASE ) written in
K&R style.
I mean "meat and potatoes" and minimal "click this /click that"
(got one already ) kindergarten picture book of 500 + pages.
Cheers

C++ is a far bigger language than C, so it can't be done in a small book. I learned it quite a while ago, so I can't give you a current recommendation. But the reviews of this book (by the inventor of C++) sound like it could be what you're looking for:

The direct comparison to K&R would be C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup This is a 1300+ page book, so it's not something you can get through in an couple of days, which gives you some idea of the difference in size between C++ and C. The book is also more a reference, whereas K&R is almost tutorial in approach.
Alternatively, there's Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo That dives straight into the C++ programming with STL. I found it very aproachable and easy to read. My only concern with this book is that it is a bit dated, having been published in 2000, with no newer editions having been published, so additions from C++11...C++23 are not covered (shame!)
I know you don't want YouTube suggestions, but I think C++ Weekly with Jason Turner is worth a look. It's not a course, but he does cover some of the ins and outs of C++. Most videos are less than 20 minutes long, and can provide some insights as to why, for example, you might want to avoid using std::endl.

I was about to recommend Accelerated C++, despite being out of date. It's really good at getting someone up to speed quickly.

I already recommended that one - great minds eh?

You know the rest of that, right?
But it's good to know AC++ is now available online. I did not know that. Thanks.

It's such a good book despite its age, so I'm not entirely surprised.

Essential C++ [Book]
Looks like not many C++ authors are updating their books, but this is a consise introduction to C++. Covers a number of important topics, but dated 1999, previous millennium.

You do realize this dude is a narcissist? Yeah I know, what are the odds online... 95%?  But, if you give him an inch he's gonna be right back to asking programming questions in the lounge again. He don't care. He's playing a game to see just how weak we are.

Yes, I am well aware of what he is, but I would use a different word. I was instrumental in getting him kicked off the site for abuse a year or so ago.

(curious) Does style (k&r) really matters ?

I've used "The ARM" (https://www.amazon.ca/Annotated-C-Reference-Manual/dp/0201514591[^]. It is very much in K&R style: only "meat and potatoes" without much "fluff".
Just like K&R, it is a bit dated now. It will serve you well to get the basic concepts but for templates and standard library stuff, you would need another book.

It's still in bad taste given the fact you obviously can't be trusted.

Why the fudge are you bolding crap? Do you honestly think we can't tell what you mean by that?

One could argue, given who you are, this still would've been better asked in the C++ forum. What you don't realize, personally, I'll never answer a question you ask... never. And I doubt I'm the only one.
