I remember when USB first came out and there was a ton of novelty in powering all sorts of random stuff out of your computer’s USB port like fans and mug warmers. This has me wondering what sort of whacky stuff I could do with a PoE extractor/splitter. An ethernet desk lamp would be fun. I have 24 PoE ports on my switch and I’m only using three of them for PoE. Time to get creative.
