- irusensei 7mo agoIt's also very hard to encounter x86 machines that can be powered from PoE.
- codealchemy 7mo agoTrue for base PoE (802.3af, 15.4W), but if you have PoE+ or greater (802.3at, 30W and up) you can start to power more common PCs - I’m running a couple repurposed Chromeboxes from PoE++ adapters.
- zrobotics 7mo agoI'm on mobile so can't easily pull up an example part number, but digital signage controllers can often be PoE powered. They're insanely overpriced new from the actual suppliers, but for hobby projects they can normally be sourced relatively easily on ebay. The trick is that many of the ebay sellers don't bother listing the specs, so you need to first search digital sign cintroller/computer on ebay then look up the spec sheet from the model number.
- dwedge 7mo agoAnother annoyance is that you need to buy a hat for PoE, it seems like an oversight
- teaearlgraycold 7mo agoI really like the ecosystem around them. All of the nice compact hats, the software, the 3D print files. Very googleable which also means easy to get help from an LLM.
- shadowpho 7mo agoI thought x64 was better for perf per watt just because perf is so much better
