Oh, can you crash the OS? I ask because my wife has killed everything from windup watches to laptops simply by touching or holding them.
And no I don't believe some people have odd magnetic fields or whatever because I can measure almost everything and tests show she is a normal person...who just kills even primitive tech. I often wondered how on earth she can drive a car with 5 CPUs, but it gave me a headache so I gave up wondering and wrote it off as one of those mysteries of life. After all, she does love and put up with me and has for 46 years.
My late lady was like that. When working at a call center in the area, she hit some key or combination of keys on the terminal she was using and not only took down the whole call center, but also the two other ones that William-Sonoma had running at the time. It took them a few hours to get things back up again.
One or another of the youtube channels I watch had a similar iron with oled display and all. I don't recall the brand, nor do I recall what specific channel that was. They seemed to do all right with it, but I'd look around for something other than that one.
