Mines currently wildflowers, bunnies and at least one mole.

If everything is an emergency then nothing is our you simply cannot govern.

Doesn’t matter if they don’t want to, if it’s popular with their base they’ll do it because they’re just as known for turning on themselves when someone makes some error or whatever.

She won’t win popular. Left got exhausted by seeing their vote in a red state mean literally nothing.

It’s usually only mandatory the first 10-15 years or once you build 60% equity iirc.

Essentially yeah.

I’m all for having less idiots but reality differs.

That’s exactly how it works and honestly this photo series is a pretty good illustration of why it works.

Nothing they got the point of. Essentially manufacturers use security through obscurity, put in a tamper proof screw in and most people who aren’t capable of doing the repair won’t have the correct bit and will understandably not attempt to muck around with whatever it is.

Why dude wants to argue with a master tech about tamper proof bits purpose not being to resist tampering is beyond me, next they’ll argue how people movers aren’t meant to move people but rather to shift lifeforms from place to place…

They’re literally called security bits you absolute bell end, the name is literally the description of their purpose.

Not at all, and nuh uh is rarely a valid point.

The tamper proof screw is NOT there to protect you, It’s there to discourage repairs plain and simple.

Point to where I said it was there to protect you. It’s quite literally to avoid lawsuits putting the screw there implies it’s meant to be taken apart by a professional, not Ted down the street who stopped school in third grade.

All they have to do is point to that screw and the lawsuit dies then and there no further action.

It’s also not planned obsolescence in this case, it’s a barrier to repair. Literally a hoop too small to jump through that catches the dumbest of the well meaning. It would be planned obsolescence (arguably) if it prevented repair, it doesn’t it simply complicates it. It’s the same reason your seatbelt part ≈00 is held down by a large torx t50-60 and no longer a 15mm bolt.

There’s the way the world works and the way the world aught to work according to xyz.

One is reality the other isn’t. Realistically if you don’t expect a security screw when taking apart dangerous electronics you probably shouldn’t be working on them.

A single tamper proof screw that all that’s required to remove is knowledge… Yes. Unfortunately stupid people try to do things they shouldn’t and that single screw removes an idiots ability to sue after they screw with things they know not.

I mean a blender isn’t exactly the worst things to have security bits on.
