I use it on every phone handset at work... I guess it's the switch PoE not the pc mobo but the effect is the same. If you are talking pc mobo PoE I guess it could be handy if you had a PoE camera...

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Don't hold on to things you haven't done before you retire... It is a waste of time and regretting not doing stuff, which lasts for moments, is the folly of youth.

Also what/who you want to do changes as you get older...

Yes. In the Aga at home and the coal fire in the living room. Also in the grate at a friend's house.

Why? Aga for cooking and hot water, coal stove for heat, likewise coal in a grate.

ETA: coal as in Anthracite, Stove Esse, Stove Nuts. Not charcoal or coke. The latter two I have cooked on and forged metal with respectively.

I didn't claim anything :) - the words "pure guess" are a give away.

Pure guess here...

signal uses "magic" to encrypt messages at rest.

Part of this magic relates to the hardware.

Change the hardware and you won't be able to decrypt the messages.

So try to move a message database to a new machine (either because you want to or because someone else has snaffled it) and you won't be able to decrypt the database.
