:blobcatgamer: Weird PC troubleshooting question:

When I plug in my laptop's charger, the lights in my house start flickering irregularly (this is slight enough that other people don't notice it).
I unplug my laptop from the charger, and the flickering stops.
Then I plug the laptop back in, and the flickering doesn't return?

Why is this happening and is this a normal thing? :ablobcatbongo:

@Linux_in_a_Bit USB-C? Your charger is probably struggling with the PD negotiation and making a high frequency switching loop. Your LEDs are sensitive to it. It probably all comes back to the charger capacitors not being full on the first go round. Not a problem.

@Linux_in_a_Bit re-plugging like you’re doing will be better for the charger and your lights.
