I'd say avoid wearing any synthetic (i.e. nylon) clothes. Try to wear cotton or better still, go to a hippy festival and buy yourself a hemp outfit.

Failing that, you should probably just turn the dehumidifier down a touch.

However, going too far the other way comes with its own problems...

I used to live 10 metres away from the sea in a flat above a hairdressers. As you can imagine, the walls were quite funky and actually had a 'rising sea salt' issue on them (when I reported the 'problem', the landlord told me it was all ok and even tried to get me to lick the wall, like it was a feature :shock: ).

Anyhow, after a few months of blasting the heating on with the windows constantly open to keep the mould at bay, most stuff that was against the wall would, when pulled back, show a big patch of mould on the wall and on the actual item that was against it, ruining several items, including some good books. Not only that, but some electrical items would blow when powered on (including some retro gear; by which time I threw in the towel and left).

Sounds like your place is a little bit like this. :(

You just made me wonder if synthetic carpets can create static too.

Since it's hardly picking any water up lately. I've decided to alter the setting so it automatically cuts out. I don't need it on in the evenings now. The environment is nice now. I can leave my coffee machine ages between cleans and still be mould free.

My dehumidifier is only on downstairs. My gear is upstairs.

I think everyone has had a landlord like that at some point. :lol: Not so funny when you're living in it...

My dehumidifier was pulling 10 litres a day last summer, sometimes more. But yeah. I can chill on that front now as it's only drawing a shot glass full.

Yep polyester, nylon etc.

When I was doing my technical training, at lunchtime we would go to woolys or something and go upstairs to the audio stuff.. I would constantly get belts if I touched the handrails :lol: Ironically it was more entertaining than the music at the time :lol:

I have personally used this adaptor for converting my OSSC HDMI output to VGA and it doesn't seem to have any quality loss and is also zero lag: Here

Then get a VGA to SCART cable: Here

This might work a bit better.

Here's a video of some guy using the Tendak to convert his PS4 to VGA: Here
It didn't work. I just got some glitchy black and white diagonal images accompanied with buzzing. I guess it needs to go through an OSSC or something.

The setup I have already is not bad to be fair. Just some caveats, like the sound muting if I pause video play on my phone and the odd scart adapter reset. Been using it for a week now and I think it's probably adequate for my use.

There have been a few instances where I've bought something and it's come in useful a year later. :lol:
