I like to fix or upgrade people's PCs here and there. I always tell people not to buy HP. There are 100 reasons, but one big one is they won't just use regular fucking screws.

As a bmw owner, it is complete horseshit that they don't let you change your own tires. I had to pay $400 to change the tire after getting a flat.

How exactly is this going to prevent people from fixing their own cars? I think it is pretty neat to have bolts with your brands logo. It's genuinely trivial to get drive bits. To act like it isn't is stupid as fuck. Reactionary horseshit.
