Hey guys digital bathroom scales don't have magnets in them do they

[archcommus]

I just weighed my laptop on it and then thought, oh sh!t, what if I just put my HDD 1/4" away from a magnet.

 

[PurdueRy]

Why would they??

EDIT:well thought of some reasons...but the magnets wouldn't be very large at all

Why are you weighing your laptop?

 

[Arch Enemy]

lol, you could just weigh yourself..then weigh yourself holding the laptop, or anything else for that matter, and get the difference and you have the items weight.

It just felt lighter than 4.5 lbs to me so I wanted to see.

It was too light to detect it so I had to do it the way the other guy suggested, and yes, it added 4 lbs (scale doesn't do decimals).

Shouldn't matter anyway.

Unless your scale is based an super industrial magnets or something...

cheap ass chinese piezoelectric strain gauge transducers used in common washroom scales do not emit spurious magnetic fields sufficient to even wipe a charge card stripe let alone a laptop hard dick.

A laptop what?

I think I'm hearing a buzzing noise after I use the right side of my touchpad to scroll the scrollbar.

better make sure you hear it, maybe you're imagining it.

Okay, I do hear it. Damn, I messed it up!

 

[archcommus]

Actually, I think I've experienced this on my desktop before. Certain times when the sound was turned way down, due to some kind of interference or something, I would hear a slight buzzing noise through the speakers when I did certain things like opening a folder or scrolling the scroll bar.

 

[Rubycon]

It's SUPPOSED to do that. That is the click register.

Never heard of it.

Freudian slip?
