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.

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?

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?

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?).
