Before I started taking mitigation steps [0] yes. Sometimes my monitors or keyboards would shut off or get frozen and wouldn't work until I power cycled them. I broke my Ethernet port once when I blindly stuck a USB cable into the Ethernet port and gave it a big zap. I had a lot of other gremlins which I can't conclusively blame on ESD but I eliminated other possible causes. ESD protection isn't perfect and degrades every time it's used. I was giving multiple painful shocks per day. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35744965 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35744965
