What tremmor is trying to say is that static electricity kills electronics. The warmer the temperature, the more energised ions and magnetic fields are, and able to be created. That is static electricity happens mostly in warmer climates.
You need to essentially remain at the same charge as the computer to prevent a discharge. That happens by first touching the computer case, whilst it is plugged in and off at the wall (needs the earth).
My first degree was avionic engineering with the RAAF. We worked in mushroom factories with static bands. Older electronics were much more susceptible.
These days, it’s a non-issue. Just touch the chassis. OR you can add a 1M ohm resistor between you and everthing other than the computer
