Can someone tell me if there's a fix for this weird phenomena with metal-case laptops (could be magnesium, dunno) where, when connected to a charger, the device got this weird "haptic humming" to it when touched? Not sure how to describe it… it doesn't seem like static electricity (which would be way worse, obviously), but like the metal vibrates if you move your skin over it. Only happens if it's connected to the charger, I noticed this with different devices & chargers.

We know that you know we would not have many nice things like VoIP without women like Marian Croak or browsers without Nicola Pellow, but if someone needs reminding that, you could show them this: nowebwithoutwomen.com/

And you can even download and print a poster if there's a need of physical reminder.
