Can anyone explain the noticable symptoms of interference or radiating, in situations where usb is not filtered?

The latter doesn't make for as exciting a story.

Makes sense to me. However, I was still inspired by this writeup / approach. Specifically for hobbiest projects. I also think for the time being, I may implement this on my lame closet server.
