- dataf3l 2y agome, that's me
- chgs 2y agoApple kit is awful for that, same applies with phones too.
- fsniper 2y agoYep I do. Metal casing gives me the tingling.
- exe34 2y agodo you have a hygrometer available? below 50% relative humidity, I get zapped every time I touch my mid-2012 mac book air. I've taken to drying clothes in my living room when the relative humidity goes under 50%.
- rmellow 2y ago> MacBook Do you mean the American Electric "Suicide" Computer? Yes I've been zapped by it numerous times. Zapped by shower heads? Don't know anyone. Almost died from a gas heated shower because of a leak? I know one person. Yes, this is anecdata.
- userbinator 2y agoY capacitors in power supplies cause a small leakage current. If you are using an unpolarised plug you may get a lower voltage by rotating its orientation. http://www.aplomb.nl/SMPS_leakage/Doc_ie.html http://www.aplomb.nl/SMPS_leakage/Doc_ie.html
- 00deadbeef 2y agoYes that happens when the power supply isn't grounded. Use the extension cable instead of the duckhead as it connects the ground pin.
