i got up this morning and turned on my pc and tinkering with the usb ethernet i've got hooked up to my now only-ethernet phone/bank terminal because it didn't seem to want to come back online when the pc was back

then i discovered that the case of my pc was live

and i traced all the power cables and discovered that the power out to all of my computerd and attached hardware had no earth pole on it

🤦‍♂️ 

i mean, it was very live, felt like 12V 1A pulsed current, really disturbing

so i removed this non-earthed cable and voila

but it also made me have a question, "is this current always going to ground like this?"

makes me wonder if there isn't a fault in the computer power supply... i wish i had a multimeter so i could figure out where the earth leak was cos it's super dodgy having an earth leak on a grounded circuit
