  • It is almost impossible to achieve those numbers, specially the idle, and the load we can only to be close to them when we use the watt/ per-useful-instruction metric.

    recentest hw will have decent idle consumption (n95 is around 2w) but the rest of the hw will consume more and usually you attach more powerful/energy hungry devices so expect <10w in idle and perhaps <25w under load.

    Older hw could not be so bad under load but they will idle less and will consume more






  • And no safety regulation? No CE marking, no refuse to operate if the gnd line is not well established, no gracefully fail without degrading the safety?

    Edit: fast Google search returns several iec (62955), CE marking, and some other low power directives (this is country dependent) which may be enforced via Sw.

    I don’t know OP, I am by no mean an expert, but I would spend a bit of time navigating for the terrible passionating world of regulations and directives :(
