Raspberry Pis Found in Abandoned Spin Scooters in Seattle

Where was this knowledge when the Pi supply was low?

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

    Surely the drive motors use far more energy than the computer, and the computer doesn’t need to be fully powered on all the time.

      Yeah they do. The device current issue is one of time. If they coded it properly they could keep the pi asleep at almost all times, but seeing as they used one in the first place I have my doubts.

      Essentially it would make the scooter drain from just sitting vs being able to sit for weeks until a rider hops on.
