Sketchy but I still want one - Sipeed NanoKVM

have you ever been in a situation where you might have broken a computer or maybe the computer broke itself and you don't have a way to access it fortunately for us most of the systems we work on here at LTT lmg short circuit whatever you want to call it have something called ipmi or Remote Management it's like a mini computer attached to the main computer so if it freezes or something you can turn the power off and on again but if you don't have Hardware like that you don't really have a way to do that without physically going and pressing the power button at least until now or I mean realistically Solutions like this have been on the market for a while but this one the scied Nano KVM light and I guess this one's just the Nano KVM can do it for very cheap wow oh it's so cute this is like $30 or something like this this little Gadget right here you connect HDMI to your computer USB to your computer and some of these pins to like the power and reset switches and now you have full remote visibility and physical power switch control over any computer you keyboard and mouse now you might have heard of similar projects like the P KVM which is an awesome way to do that uh open source kind of community project but it's still pretty expensive even if you build the thing yourself you're talking an order of a couple hundred cheaper than an Enterprise solution which does exist but if you're trying to do this at your house $30 seems a lot more compelling $30 seems a lot more compelling let's get the the big boy unboxed here o look at that we got the little unit right there we got the little board this is like for the front panel header we got the little board this is like for the front panel header so the power button just a little bit cleaner way to do that so the power button just a little bit cleaner way to do that rather than having to like run jumper cables off of this one rather than having to like run jumper cables off of this one oh look jumper cables
