    my pc case shocked me when I touched it, not a huge shock like live wires but enough for you to feel a little pain (like static shock on winter day). My phone charger also shocked me the same way when i touched the metal part of the USB head.

      yea PC power supplies do need the earth pin, but i’m surprised the usb also shocked you, maybe a faulty adapter?

        It’s a $80 GAN charger from Ugreen and the C-to-C cable that came with my iPhone.

        I would be a big sad chump if it’s a faulty brick. But thanks, I’ll find a way to troubleshoot that.
