    How well does HDMI CEC work on this?
    • plug_world 2 minutes ago
      If you get the right adapter, I've seen others get HDMI CEC working.

      However, quality of life features like sleep/hibernate don't work at all on this system. I've also seen people use an ESP32 to power on the system with a bluetooth controller which is pretty neat especially if you combined that with CEC.

    wondering how is idle power after optimization
    • plug_world 20 minutes ago
      Unfortunately I don't have the tools to measure the power draw directly from the outlet.

      But the software reports 30-45W power draw when the systems at max load. However lower-end titles and idle draw hovers between 10W-20W.
