I'm always surprised people see this as a recent trend. If a machine has no expansion ports and the case is sealed with the weirdest screws they could find, it was meant to be an appliance for consumers rather than a tool for people.

They are the same screws BMW uses for wingmirrors.
Mhmm, and BMW isn't well known as a pinnacle of open, easy to repair cars either. Usually you end up pulling apart the whole front end on your beamer for something that'd take a few minutes to fix/replace on most other cars.
I just mention that incase anyone is wondering what tool to Google for ;-)
