    Not quite. You connect this to your network, then you can remotely connect to it and control the computer it’s attached to. This includes sending ACPI signals, accessing the BIOS, etc. so it’s as though you had physical access to the machine, only remotely.

    Barring actually pressing buttons, of course.

    This is inspired by PiKVM. https://pikvm.org/

      Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks! Sounds really useful for those hard to reach machines. (This could have helped a lot during the CrowdStrike fiasco, I guess)
