I once read an article on this possibility, which suggested that we
might also say good-bye to squids, which have nervous systems with
larger intervals between gaps in the myelin sheaths in their nerves.

But what about *radio*? :-)

The possibility of ordinary radiation becoming impossible was not
mentioned in the article. I suspect that "the length of interaction of
electromagnetism" mentined here means something like the distance two
static charges can be from each other and still exert appreciable
forces on each other, rather than, say, "electromagnetic waves don't
carry farther than 1 meter". Of course, I haven't worked any of this
out for myself.
