I appreciate the self-awareness 😄

I’m glad I can still spot a UwoSlab video just by the project
Man, I hope they used rechargeable AAs but they probably didn’t
What if you swap the PC with a Rpi5 will it use less Batteries?
You could also run a normal PC on 6 aa batteries, just not very long…
Depends on how long and hard you want to run it.
A Pi5 uses a 5V 3A charger. Four AA batteries in series should give you 4-6V (the voltage changes as they discharge) and around 2A (going by the labelling on my rechargeables). So you might be able to run a Pi5 at full throttle for an hour or so given 8 AAs. There would be some loss at the buck-boost converter you’d need to guarantee an output of exactly 5V.
Using four Ds instead would simplify the wiring a bit and keep it running longer.
This sounds like something Uwos Lab would do.

Yeah.

I love goblin computing
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of the SNL sketch for a battery powered car
Haha, absolute chaotic energy built on open-source optimocracy.
