That is exactly the type of pacificity that plays into their hand. Life is good and bad at the same time. It is important to hold those two at the same time.
The same thing happened in the Apple store I went to visit. Devices tend to zap you when you touch them. Maybe the problem is localized to certain regions?
Ah yes it is a 2 pin...ungrounded. Is there a way I can ground myself/and-or my laptop? I just had achilles tendon surgery so I can't really touch grass, so to speak proverbially (or literally?).
Dang. Hope the recovery goes well. I snapped an achilles during covid. All good now though. As to grounding, apple sell extension cables for duckhead chargers, that are/were 3 pin grounded.
Yes its relatively dry. I had a humidifier but the fuse blew so I'm kinda stuck with what I've got. Is there any other way to dissipate charge in dry climates than humidity?
Yes exactly! That's how it started, but now it happens even when its not charging...and for my phones too. Maybe it's just a change in my perception, like what was subliminal before is becoming liminal now because I learned to pay attention to it?
It used to only happen when I had it plugged in, initially when I took my MacBook to Romania a few years ago and plugged it into the power grid there, they use a different frequency and I had to use an adaptor. But then it started happening in the US as well, and even after I switched from the 2020 model to the new M series, and now it happens to me even when its not plugged in anything, whether I'm grounded or not...that's why I'm wondering if they're actively changing the EM field encapsulation specs.
Reddit is somehow broken. I moderate the Oberon subreddit and don't manage to permanently remove protected status. When I go away and come back a few days later it is again protected and people have to contact and ask me when they want to post. I already went to Reddit administration with this issue but never got a response.
