My electricity is about $0.25/kwh (advertised at 0.09/kwh, but when you add on bullshit fees, the final rate is much higher), so I came up with $32.85 as the maximum amount any device connected to that power supply could cost. permalink fedilink source parent [–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago* (1 child) A realistic Pi 4B-only estimate is about A$8–A$12 per year in electricity That's about what I calculated for my locale. Roughly $0.30–$0.85 per month, around $0.48/month at 4 W. Which is remarkable especially given what you can run on one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] SuspiciousCarrot78@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago I've got a drawer full of various models I've picked up here and there, mostly used that people were selling. I stumbled across a yard sale once where a guy and his son were selling a lot of computer equipment to raise money for his son to get some newer stuff for college. There was a whole box of them, maybe 10+ and I paid $100 for all of them. I use them from time to time for different projects. Good little learning boards. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
