Sure but if there's no power on the mobo, the device can't do anything. Even if it sends an ACPI on signal, there's no power. 🤷

What's the use case for PoE? If the mobo can't supply energy, there's not much you can do via this device, right? What have I missed?

Indeed! My use case is so I can fix my home lab computers when I’m away.

Not quite. You connect this to your network, then you can remotely connect to it and control the computer it’s attached to. This includes sending ACPI signals, accessing the BIOS, etc. so it’s as though you had physical access to the machine, only remotely.

Barring actually pressing buttons, of course.

My field is software engineering. I agree.

I am aware of that. Unfortunately that’s not how I see it mostly used in the field.

The public keys can be stored anywhere, it doesn’t matter. That’s why they’re called public: because they’re not private, they’re not sensitive, they’re not a secret.

If you’re talking about CrowdStrike, I’d call it part of the malware infrastructure.

From the perspective of the OP’s point though, it is a good argument since it capitalises on the panic described.

They could be, but 2M new Brazilian users after Twitter’s block there actually seems quite low and definitely credible.

It’s not, you know it isn’t. You just don’t like the outcome of it because you’re already left with no arguments and are clutching at fallacious straws. It’s ok though, you do you. You’re either a troll or just not very good at arguing your point. Either way, you have been blocked as I have better things to do with my time.

I’d be willing to entertain you if the question was related to the thread at all but I don’t see how it is.

Are you trying to compare the USA selling missiles to Israel to Glock producing pistols? And a troubled teenager with a gun to a genocidal maniac?
