        So what computer does not meet that definition then? They all “supply their own power” under that definition.

        I’m assuming they have that criterion to distinguish from RFID-type power sources where the signal also supplies power, but I’m sure there’s some conversion of power types in that instance too.

      It doesn’t say “generate” it’s own power. Just supply.

      There’s literally a pc component called a power supply that supplies power to the pc.
