I love places where you can just get it yourself. Rare here in North America, but all over the place in Korea

I don’t understand why you’re so angry. Do you not get how bidets work?

Can’t safely flush them though, no matter how “flushable” they claim to be

There’s the Stunky line in Pokemon, but that’s all I’ve got.

Interesting question!

It’s one way of wirelessly communicating between devices of different types.

You can have a WiFi-enabled light switch that you can control with your phone without it connecting to the internet.

Someone is going around downvoting everyone who says something good about Anker without replying to any of the comments.

Poor etiquette, imo

otp, 1 year ago to datahoarder in Seagate Expansion external HDD power supply making a very faint alarm sound

Thank you for the reassurance. I guess I’ll just either let it be noisy or leave it fully unplugged when not in use.

First world problems… having to choose between barely audible noise, or having to plug TWO things in to access my 14TB, lmao

Was it like a little tiny weewoo alarm? Because that’s all I can describe it as, Lmao

What’s a bridge rectifier?

The power supply is “universal” (comes with different attachments for different regions’ outlets), so I could see it doing something weird like that.

But it only happens when it’s plugged into the outlet, but the HDD is NOT plugged into the computer.

Could it be expecting some extra power from the PC or something?

otp, 1 year ago to datahoarder in Seagate Expansion external HDD power supply making a very faint alarm sound

Haven’t been able to record it yet, but the sound only happens when the power supply is plugged into the HDD and the outlet (not one or the other), and the HDD is NOT plugged into the computer.

Plugging the HDD into the computer stops the sound. I was unplugging it from the PC to keep it offline when I didn’t need it. (After safely ejecting and waiting etc. of course)

I guess I’ll just need to unplug the power when I’m not using it, too.

otp, 1 year ago to datahoarder in Seagate Expansion external HDD power supply making a very faint alarm sound

It’s weird – the sound happens when the power supply is plugged into the outlet and the HDD, but it turns off when the HDD is plugged into the PC.

I could look for a blinking LED, but it really does sound like a noise maker rather than something electrical. But I’m not an expert.
