    The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

    Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.




  • I’ve read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can’t even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

    If it’s an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

    Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

    Literally touch everything and report back.









  • For dimmers, you either need smart bulbs that do it themselves or a dimmer switch that you know is guaranteed to work with that bulb, it’s tricky. Also, LED lights that get warmer (change colour tone to a more orange colour) as they dim are far more pleasing than just dimming since they emulate what incandescent bulbs do. Sometimes if the power supply to your unit or building is choppy leds are the first to show it, so hope it’s not that.

    Good luck with your landlord, let’s hope they’re a good one.
