I’m not sure why you’re referring to the Pi4 since it doesn’t require this entirely non-standard power supply and isn’t their current flagship model. Nobody is asking for old models to be retrofitted with voltage regulators so that they don’t have to use a power supply that they already don’t need to use.
You say you don’t use or recommend the Pi5 and yet you’re seemingly arguing that its power supply requirements aren’t a big deal and that improvements should absolutely not be made to it.
First, I think we both don’t like the Pi5. So we are in agreement on that. If you want we can stop right there on the same page.
I’m not sure why you’re referring to the Pi4
My first post in this thread was talking about Pi low power and small physical size. I was talking about all Raspberry Pis in general. I never put forth the Pi5. You did when you raised the 5V5A requirement. That exists only on the Pi5. You’ll also see in that first post of mine is where I disavowed any recommendation of Pi5.
You then went on in your next post about Raspberry Pis needing active cooling and heat sinks. Again, that is only the Pi5, which again, I said I don’t support.
So if you’re wondering why I keep talking about Pi4 and below is because those are the ones I like. In this thread you keep posting facts about Pi5 (without pointing out that those only apply to Pi5), and so that’s why I keep referring to Pi4 (and below).
You say you don’t use or recommend the Pi5 and yet you’re seemingly arguing that its power supply requirements aren’t a big deal and that improvements should absolutely not be made to it.
I’m arguing power supply requirements shouldn’t be made to Pi4 (or below). I don’t use Pi5.
Pi 4 and below don’t require active cooling. I want to keep it that way.
Again, I offer no defense of Pi5. I don’t use it and don’t recommend it.
