  • Yeah that’s toothless. They decided there is no particular way to age a cartoon, they could be from another planet that simply seem younger but are in actuality older.

    It’s bunk, let them draw or generate whatever they want, totally fictional events and people are fair game and quite honestly I’d Rather they stay active doing that then get active actually abusing children.

    Outlaw shibari and I guarantee you’d have multiple serial killers btk-ing some unlucky souls.





  • 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…




  • 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.
