Side note, I love the idea that you can just "buy" MAC addresses in a physical form. Because microchip sell EEPROMs with guaranteed to be unique MAC addresses [www.microchip.com] from their own pool.

1 EEPROM with a MAC uniq address burned into it costs about £0.20 [www.mouser.co.uk]

@benjojo 1KiB EEPROM for 64 bits seems a little excessive

@q [glauca.space] it also comes with a 128 bit ID as well, some of them you can write some bits yourself too. It sort of makes sense for small scale products, but it's a bit of a weird SKU in general

@benjojo I guess if I’m doing a run of 100 it makes sense

@q @benjojo the EEPROMs with MAC addresses cost very similar to the EEPROMs without IIRC. If you need a small config EEPROM anyway, it becomes close to free
