Universal screws, you say? Governments worldwide are your answer.

No, this has more to do with the fact I pay attention to this stuff more than you realize. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWFKCr40YwOZQx8FHU_ZqqQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w

Those are two great channels. One breaks down most electronics that come out today, mainly phones. The second channel is a guy who works exclusively on apple products. So let him, The fucking expert, tell you about their screws and their history at Apple. Apple changed their screws to prevent repairs and their obsolete their own products so you are forced to replace them.

Lastly, here is a good channel that breaks down all kinds of electronics and then even goes of the electrical diagrams of the devices he looks into: https://www.youtube.com/user/bigclivedotcom

I am not here saying we need more government. Good god, if you took that away from what I wrote, then that isn't the intent at all. My entire point was the move made by Apple wasn't to do anything other than to prevent us from repairing our own devices. All screws should use a head that is universal so that the device can be accessed by the owner of the device. At the very least apple should provide the screwdriver then, so that we can repair our own devices. They won't, they don't want you to do that.

No, I was joking that governments are the universal screws (as in, they screw us, and it's universal).

Apple is fucking psycho. I grew up programming Macs (still use an Apple Extended Keyboard II with ADB-to-USB adapter), but I'd never, ever buy another Apple product again. They go out of their way to make the stuff hard to use on say Linux.
