      And that’s 60W while charging. In idle with the screen off, low end laptops often consume as little as 2-3W. Which is not far off from a pi.

        And I think China is evil and dumb… but I click “add to cart” on aliexpress in my sleep!

        But I am deeply worried about totally renewable energy consumption by buying an endless stream of disposable baubles!
