  • I think the purpose of these has went over a lot of people’s head.

    maybe read the article… you would have noticed this:

    It spells out in the patent that “the shape of the engagement recesses prevents the screw from being loosened or tightened using common counter-drive structures, e.g. by unauthorized persons.” That’s straight from BMW.

    The idea is to use it for places where fasteners are normally visible. Seat mounting places, for example. Or other parts like connecting “the cockpit to the load-bearing body structure.”
















  • I hate headlines like this. I’d love to hear the REASONS WHY Plex are doing all of this.

    1. Greed… do you really need 3 more?

    Before someone says “the reason is money” we need to ask: do the developers of Jellyfin not use money? Why won’t the same thing just happen to them too?

    Plex is a private company wanting money… Jellyfin is a voluteer-drive effort

    Before someone says “enshittification,” we need to ask: does this mean Jellyfin will soon have the same problems?

    Enshitification happens to privately develop products due to <checks notes> greed… Jellyfin is not a private company pushing a product for profit

    We all seem to love Jellyfin so I think we need to understand the actual reason why, or this will just continue happening.

    Back to “greed”
