Hacker mods an M1 Mac mini to receive power over Ethernet instead of AC
I&#x27;ve been wondering more than once if we couldn&#x27;t improve (larger) offices a lot by distributing power pre-transformed so every computer and every screen wouldn&#x27;t have to include a transformer.<p>I also sometimes wonder why these days, when every new lamp is led, why we don&#x27;t replace most of the dangerous 230V outlets in new houses with 12V and use 230V only for dishwashers, laundry machines, dryers and that kind of stuff.<p>Is there some kind engineer or hobbyist here who could shoot this idea down for me so it won&#x27;t bother me for another 3 years?<p>(I have a couple of years studies in electronics, but not power distribution. I think I understand why backbone networks uses extremely high voltages to reduce losses, but at least for now think it is more a issue over long distances, but I am willing to reconsider.)
