Modder rigs his Steam Deck with spikes and an automated taser to stop family members from borrowing it

A Reddit user modified a Steam Deck with a 3D-printed spiked case and a Raspberry Pi camera setup.

The system uses object detection, an audio warning, and a servo-linked taser trigger to scare off would-be borrowers.

The stunt was designed to keep family members from using or unplugging the handheld without permission.

It highlights how extreme hobbyist protection can get, and the safety risks of turning gadgets into security weapons.
