Hi, sorry if this sounds stupid
My room has carpet on the floor and I believe that could lead to me zapping my parts with static and breaking them? How can I combat this, without an anti static band (all the ones I've looked at on Amazon within budget seem to not have passed continuity tests)?
Would putting a plank of wood on my floor and then keeping my feet on there at all times work? Is chipboard ok to use for that?
Would me tapping my PSU/a metal part of my case every 1 minute help stop the risk of zapping my parts?
Thanks all and sorry if this sounds stupid
