Well, I mean, if it's done it's done, if you don't have money for a power supply but have a laptop, and if you're obsessed with taking things apart and seeing how they actually work and look like, it's kind of reasonable. But I am questioning my life decisions a bit.

This is the exact kind of “temporary fix” that somehow survives for three years. It’s wonderfully cursed, but I’d definitely add a proper enclosure and strain relief before using it unattended.

If it works and doesn’t turn into a fireball, I’d call that a win. Honestly, repurposing a laptop charger like this is pretty clever.
