gollark: What specs does your computronic device have?
gollark: It should be every device for itself, "giving" them power turns them soft.
gollark: Well, my phone runs on a pocket wind turbine, so obviously it doesn't need connecting to external power.
gollark: Of the physical switch I mean.
gollark: that does limit the usefulness somewhat.
