My computer has been used for about two years. Every time I plug in the power plug, I need to short the three pins of the power plug and then plug it into the socket. At this time, I will hear a "pop" sound, accompanied by electric sparks. Appears, and the computer starts normally.
If you do not perform the above operations, the machine must freeze when booting.
Anyone knows what is the problem with my computer?

What would happen if I plugged a stick with PortableApps into my phone?

So I have a USB stick with USB A and C on it, so I could bring files between my phone and PC. If I was to plug the flash drive with portable apps installed on it into my phone, would it possibly break my phone, or maybe try to run portable apps on my phone? I'm just wondering because I wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

I just noticed 3 things today related to with this app. It had been a while since I used the software due to trying to switch over and learn Linux. There is a new update, but the release notes do not discuss these items. I know John and company vet everything out, which is why I ask
1) The last time I updated, the privacy settings reverted to being checked {To disable usage data sharing 'Options' - 'Privacy'}. Is this a new PIRIFORM thing to reset the setting even on portable apps?

Trojan in Thunderbird portable ?

Hello,

I'm setting up a Thunderbird/NextCloud system (email/contact/diary) for the leaders of my association. At home, Bitdefender doesn't notice anything but their antivirus tells me there is a problem.
Back home, I go to virustotal.com and, while analyzing the exe of Thunderbird portable, it discovers a trojan (Trojan.MSIL.qhua ). I am very annoyed of course.
What do you think about it?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
