You can certainly change it. But should you? (lemmy.ml)

What is the context of the original image?

Could be simply a way to make sure the button never moves again. I would have simply taken out the knob, personally.

It could be about sending a message.

A missing knob is easy to fix. Bolting a wrench to the housing holding the knob in place is very explicit. It screams "don't touch"

Idk to me it screams "solve this puzzle and win a free wrench" /s

I like the creativity of it, and it does solve the problem in a way that's user-safe. I thought of removing the knob because that's what I do with my barbecue as I store items on the grill when not in use. Remove knobs, put on grill, close barbecue, cover.
