On a homebuilt PC, I've never worn a strap and never had an issue. |

I've also had a CEO of a large company send me a single ram stick VIA envelope and asked to see if we could find files on it. I have contracted with both SMB/ Large Corporations / and Government, and I'm never shocked by how ****ing horrible their IT is. I mean I've literally seen entire city government networks being a ****ing disaster. |

There's a difference between saying wrist straps are superfluous and saying concern over static potential is stupid.
If you have a strap, might as well use it. But if you don't want to track one down or purchase, as many have alluded without stating outright, . . . just be careful to account for static potential. Don't repair on carpet [and don't go shuffling all over carpet, then return right to the repair]. Don't wear a wooly pullover. Make lots of contact with the frame of the unit while operating. You can even fashion a 'strap' out of bare wire wrapped around your wrist and attached to the frame if you don't want to worry about. Best and easiest is to find a low static, low humidity environment, . . . AC and a hardwood table and floor is fine, wear simple clothes likes shorts and tee, and make plenty of 'grounding' contact with the frame before taking contact with semiconductor and IC parts. |

I will say this, the chip shortage is real. And finding machines with TPM is becoming impossible.

What will Win 11 add that Win 10 can't do? Technically speaking just a facelift to look purty and make microshaft some money?
