[chbot] pc power supply

[Charles Manning]

I agree with Volker

The default answer is NO, unless there are specific capabilities for load

Even if it did "work" by luck, there is no guarantee it would continue to
work under different temperatures, different load conditions and even
different AC power voltages/ power factor etc.
