Exactly, and some are 5W, while others may be near 1-2W which isn't enough of a load, and then some don't need any load.
It just proves my point.

While a few articles are questionable, topics like this are generally correct. And they are usually more up to date as the community adds to the articles to keep them up to date.

Congratulations. You quoted a Wikipedia article which references a patent from 1995. Of course, it might be worth mentioning that the patent in reference is for a method of designing power supplies which creates a constant load above the minimum. This patent also references another patent from 1984 which does the same thing, but is less efficient. I think it's pretty safe to say that modern power supplies can be powered on with no external load without danger of damage.

if it is in use, then that means you can run a power supply with no load because it will automatically compensate for there not being a load and create one.
obviously you know little to nothing about car. "relatively unchanged". yea, they are still internal combustion engines, but they have had thousands of upgrades and modifications.
a ford model t had a 2.9L 4 cyclinder with 20hp. now a 2.9 can put out over 500hp.

I'm going to go ahead and not refute you here. Lets see if you can figure out why what you just said is hilarious.

It is still a gasoline internal combustion engine, the main concept has remained unchanged.

A change from the gas engine is an electric engine is a significant change, not a gas engine to a gas engine with VVT and turbo.

Are really turning this into an argument about gas engines?

yea, but from this:
to THIS:
is quite a difference. not to mention the several computers that are used to control modern car engines.
i think he is becasue he is wrong about the power supplies. but cmon, lets not argue. this is a friendly exchange of who is right and who is wrong.
TO OP---if you want to be ABSOLUTELY POSOTIVE that is works, just pop it into your computer and see if it works

Yeah, we're just too darn stubborn. It's a personal problem I have. I get all caught up looking at the facts and I always forget to relentlessly defend everything I say until irrevocably proven wrong at which point I'll change the subject or give up under the pretense that it's the other person that's being stubborn. I'll try and work on that.
