Adapters, cables, magnetic fields, smelly.

Hello,



My appartment was cleaned today, and there is a bit of a weird smell.



I am not sure where it's coming from... could be outside...



But could also be the cable modem adapter...



I noticed it was kinda warm and there was another power cable lieing on top of it... which probably normally wasn't the case...



Since some power is going through the adapter maybe the power cable is somehow interfering with it...



Perhaps just taking up space... for warmth to go away... bit strange...



It's probably nothing... but it did make me wonder... if a cable mess can screw up an adapter somehow... or maybe even cause it to catch fire ?! ;) :)



Bye, Skybuck.

Douse it with water and see if that helps.

I am sure it will help the bandwidth issue here.

That smell is called "clean." Don't worry, things will soon return to normal.

Unfortunately, he never sill. :(

Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is enough left over to pay them.

You need to take up smoking, to cover up the weird smell. ;-P

I suspect the weird smell comes from whatever he's smoking.

I was just gonna say that. A hand-rolled Van Nelle Halfzwaar, just one of those should do that :-)
