Judging by the picture, that CPU has a sticker over one of the power ports. Just peel it back and you've upgraded your PSU.

A quick google confirms that some HP Printers have USB ports that are covered similarly, but with a warning not to use it, rather than just being hidden.

Sir, did you just call that PSU a CPU?
This reminds me of the late 90s computer illiteracy... the monitor was the "computer", and the computer was the "hard drive" :)
Well, seeing that a modern Apple monitor has the guts of an iPhone 11 and runs a version of iOS…
And everything was the modem.
Today everything is a router.
My router is a firewall, VPN, DNS server, file server, print server, media server, and Docker host. Like, what can't it do?

BTW, I don't use most of those services but it's advertised with them.

It probably is to some extent, too.
OMG. Yup, I did. I have no defense for this.

Edit: I got it right the second time, though! :D

Nothing wrong with a Central Power Unit!
