You need to jump the second power supply to turn it on.

Woah, this is recent!  So, do PSUs have checks that make sure all the proper stuff is connected?  Do you think they will ever make GPU dedicated PSU?

How bad is e-waste?  Listen to that Joe Rogan episode.

Windows 11 will just force business to "recycle" "obscolete" hardware.  Microsoft definitely isn't bothered by this at all, and seems to want hardware produced just a few years ago to be considered obsolete.  They have also not shown any interest nor has any other company in a similar financial position, to help increase tech recycling whatsoever.  Windows 12 might be cloud-based and be a monthly or yearly fee.

 

Software suggestions


Just get f.lux [Link removed due to forum rules] so your screen isn't bright white at night, a golden orange in place of stark 6500K bluish white.

released in 2008 and still being improved.

 

Dark Reader addon for webpages.  Pick any color you want for both background and text (background and foreground page elements).  Enable the preview mode on desktop for Firefox and Chrome addon, by clicking the dark reader addon settings, Choose dev tools amd click preview mode.

 

NoScript or EFF's privacy badger addons can block many scripts and websites that would load and track you, possibly halving page load time!

 

F-droid is a place to install open-source software for android, Antennapod, RethinkDNS, Fennec which is Firefox with about:config, lots of performance and other changes available, mozilla KB has a huge database of what most of the settings do.  Most software in the repository only requires Android 5 and 6!

 

I recommend firewall apps (blocks apps) and dns filters (redirect all dns requests on android, to your choice of dns, even if overridden).  RethinkDNS is my pick and I set it to use pi-hole, installed inside Ubuntu/Debian, which is inside Virtualbox, until I go to a website, nothing at all connects to any other server.  I also use NextDNS.io to do the same when away from home wi-fi or even cellular!  I can even tether from cellular to any device sharing via wi-fi, and block anything with dns set to NextDNS, regardless if the device allows changing dns.  This style of network filtration is being overridden by software updates on some devices, forcing a backup dns provuder, such as google dns, when built in dns requests are not connecting.  Without a complete firewall setup, dns redirection itself is no longer always effective.

no, srsly, i wouldn't exactly do that unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing there.

You learn by failing. 

 

And if you do stuff like this it kinda goes without saying you dont care much about warranty...

I think you're right. However - i wouldn't like to be the guy that has to learn how to treat electricity the "hard way".

as someone with electronics background: this is the best way to learn; the expensive way.

IF you want to you could use a relay to trip pin 14  so when power is applyed to psu 1 it powers on psu 2 and when power is off it shut off both you might even be able to make a y harness that is a passthrough for psu one but bridges pin 14 to psu 2 there is a bunch of ways to do this useing extention harnesses ect with out splicing the main one however it would probaly be cheeper and easyer to just buy a biger PSU and do away with this mess all to geather.
