Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.
Wired is so much better.

Do not send data over power lines.
Do not send power over data lines.
I don’t see anything wrong with Power over Ethernet, as long as it follows the standards.
EoP, not PoE. Two different things.
Literally the 2nd sentence. “power over data lines” is PoE, not EoP.
Lol I definitely read the same thing twice. Assumed they were just repeating for emphasis. You’re right, my bad.
So - PoE = bad? Otherwise not sure what real-world scenario your second case covers?
To be fair, there are some less-than-optimal PoE implementations like “passive PoE”. I’ve heard stories where the wrong PoE mode destroyed network gear.
Yeah, active PoE is the only kind worth buying. Passive PoE is an accident waiting to happen.
one where i mess up the breadboard and fry my cables/ microcontroller i guess
Yeah don’t do that one
POE is fine… it’s been fine for a long time.
Active POE is fine. Passive POE is an accident waiting to happen when someone inevitably plugs it into the wrong device.
True, but most people who mess with POE aren’t in the habit of just randomly plugging shit into switches, and those who aren’t don’t touch it anyways cause…scary.
Eh, I’ve broken laptop ethernet ports by accidentally plugging in passive POE into it. It happens if you’re an unfortunate soul who needs to debug those devices.
Fair enough
