Is it possible to increase the power of the built-in wi-fi adapter in a laptop without fear that it will damage the hardware?

Good day toasters and toasters!
There is an ordinary laptop with a conventional built-in wi-fi adapter (highlighted in yellow):

Is it possible to increase (for example) the power of the wi-fi adapter in Linux without fear that this will damage the hardware or disable the adapter itself. And if so (the procedure itself is safe for iron) - how much (up to what value) ??
P.s. I know that external Wi-Fi adapters can safely increase their power up to 30 dBm. initially they were designed that way, but due to the legislation of the country and those. requirements, the power is cut and at the same time they will not heat up. Therefore, in fact, the question is about the internal built-in wi-fi adapter. Is it possible the same?
ps how to increase - I know. the question is whether it is safe or not for the built-in adapter in a laptop, and if it is safe, how much.

The adapter will not increase the power more than it can give out. So it’s safe, put at least 10 W. I tried to swing the adapter in the laptop in such a way, I didn’t let me put more than 100 mW. External at 500 mW allowed. Regional restrictions have been lifted. So it goes.

Iron may not hurt ... but it will hurt something else, which is more valuable. Have you ever wondered why 5-6 dBm is the limit for indoor adapters? Not? Google the effect of microwaves (and wifi works in the microwave range) on reproductive functions :)
