I asked my mom if I can buy myself a raspberry pi for my birthday.
No matter what I show or say to her, she won't stop telling me to bake my own raspberry pie. ;-;

The pie would be pretty crunchy

@Condor may I ask what you use them for? 😄 I have one just sitting there but I don't know what to do with it

@Condor I've used a corsair 1000w PSU. The standby line can power one RPi while the PSU is "off". While fully on, I can get it to power 11 more RPis on the active 5v line, before it trips.

So for a few devices you can easily use any old computer PSU. Won't be power efficient, because they're built to deliver the mix of both 12v and 5v at the rated efficiency.

Buy one.
Put it inside the oven(no need to turn it on).
And when your mom comes to kitchen, open the oven lid and show your specially baked raspberry pi.

Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂✌🏻✌🏻 go mom!! 😎😎😎

@Condor I soldered and shrinkwrapped a bunch of molex-to-microusb connectors (with both male/female molex so they're chainable).

GPIO is possible with a good stable PSU without voltage regulation, but PSUs officially expect voltage regulation to be taken care of by the consuming device. Some bronze rated PSUs spike quite a bit, so using the microusb on the RPi is safer because it's protected by a voltage regulator.

Computer PSUs are such awesome versatile devices ☺️

@Condor Voltage regulators are about 20-40c per piece, so you can put them on the pins if you wanted ;)

I bought a RPi for my mom a month ago so she wouldn't take my laptop to watch series. Best buy ever! She even gets used to Linux :)

@itsnameless
:c

@octogato eat it ofcourse. What else would one do with a raspberry pie?
