    I remember wondering as a kid why those plugs needed to be screwed in like that. It seemed ridiculously overengineered.

      It was! Back in the day, half the time the screws were tighter in the plug which caused the sockets to come out of the motherboard rather than unscrewing in many times during my desktop days. I fucking hated them!

      Could at least straighten a bent pin, though…
