M1 MBP's only come with two prong chargers, except in markets that use the British plug. Depending on the cause of the issue grounding could help, but you'd have to buy an extension cord with a ground.
- plussed_reader 3y agoThere had been a grounded tail for apple powerbticks back to the era of g4 laptops. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyVFAPNjYzJz9vxjn6Ba3enay6fZTsSk8K6PU_m_Q_Mcp_u13lqdTVWKSZ4zb0S4N48wx3oT0&usqp=CAc https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyVF...

- matt-attack 3y agoEver seen a short version without a cord? Similar to the standard two prong attachment? Edit: https://a.co/d/6yvKXPW https://a.co/d/6yvKXPW
- plussed_reader 3y agoYes, I have a few 'san francisco special' ungrounded power tails but to my knowledge they were only made during the PowerPC era and did not continue into the Intel era. e. oh grounded short adapters. I wouldn't go for that due to the wall wort issue. I usually swapped out my apple bricks to grounded tails because it was usually easier to work into whateve ad-hoc power I encountered.
- aeonik 3y agoI'm aware, I have two M1s, but I had a static issue on my wired headphones at one point, and I fixed it with proper grounding. Though I can't remember if it was my old Intel Mac, or one if the newer M1s. I haven't used the wired headphones lately. I'll see if I can find them and report back here.
