Hacker mods an M1 Mac mini to receive power over Ethernet instead of AC
" the M1 Mac mini was the perfect hardware to test out PoE, as on idle, the device only consumes 6W. When some load is applied to the internals, that power draw can go up to 40W. After some thorough research, we found out that the maximum throughput of Power over Ethernet was 15.4W "<p>They'll have to bump it up to 802.3bt (Poe ++) which can support 60W.<p>Cool Project though, I've been wanting to mod my Mac Mini m1 to run off USB-C PD which should be possible with modification because it uses the same PD IC as the Macbooks (CD3217) which could mean I could get it to eventually run off of a battery pack
