Fun fact: Torx screwdrivers are compatible with Torx Plus screws, but Trox Plus screwdrivers are only compatible with Torx screws that are one size larger
Not a single person sharing the xkcd comic about standards? Well I'm not doing it.
Why is screw DLC legal? Why are people ok with companies preventing people from working in their own devices?
Tamper proof is to prevent random idiots from messing with your stuff.
Fuck you all!! I’m not arguing about this again :(
But I found this interesting.

Useful tip: with security torx screws, with the little nub in the centre, if you get a small flathead screwdriver to jam in there and wiggle a bit, that centre bit will snap off without much difficulty.
You should be able to use a regular Torx screwdriver bit after that.
This is really gonna come in handy during some of my heists
Their only "heists" when you get caught, until then they're "shenanigans" 😁
We can debate this all day long but we all know torque is cheap.
But enough torque, have at thee!
Unexpected lonesome German
the worst is not when the screwdriver is fucked but the screw is. That is some huge pain in the ass
Torx doesn't get fucked though, compared to alan or philips
What about square drive… where does it fit in
Fun fact: There are plenty of times a screw that looks like a Philips head is also compatible with a square drive. I've mostly seen this on electrical outlets and Ikea furniture.
I don't know why Robertson/square drives aren't more common. They're stable and they resist stripping and rounding.
That’s right, it goes in the square hole.
Robertson! Say his name!
I was saying it in Mercian for our southern neighbours
I'm not american so you wasted it anyways
Torx drivers are forward compatible with Torx plus screws
Why does Torx Plus have six teeth but tamper-resistant Torx Plus has five? Whereas 'what the fuck is this' basically looks like it should be tamper-resistant Torx Plus?
I guess they wanted to make the screws even more tamper-resistant? With the standard Torx Tamper-Resistant screws, they could often be bypassed by chiseling the pin away with a flathead and a hammer, and then using a standard Torx driver. Can't do that with the pentalobular design!
