small screws in general are just easy to strip
Hexes are very sturdy. I ride mountain bikes and for some reason brake rotors are secured with Torx while all other screws are hexes. Torx on rotors are usually tightened to 4-6Nm and they are single use 99% of the time. At the same time there are plenty of hexes of the same size which are tightened to 8-10Nm and there are zero issues.
Torx are fucking useless. And don’t get me started on tiny Torxes in laptops…

The real question is why do people in the US use credit cards instead of debit cards like everyone else?

NFC payments are more secure than card payments.

So you can change the colour of your phone.

Because smart people started switching to Bluetooth back in the mid 2000-s. Because wires suck big time. It’s 2024 now, there’s absolutely no reason to use wired headphones.
Torx can’t hold shit. They’re single use screws.
Torx are easier to strip, especially the smaller sizes. They’re pretty much single use screws.

From my comment above:
You’re assuming that people in Gaza have consistent access to the internet. The beauty of Skype is that you can call a landline through it.

If the age of consent is 16 then you don’t ask your parents for an approval. That’s the point of the age of consent.
Stop defending forced marriages please.

That’s different though. Dumb shit happens everywhere, but the US is one of the few places where that dumb shit is legal and systemic.

Fasteners are standard from rotor manufacturers. I have no clue what they’re made out of. But in 30 years of cycling I’ve never had a single Torx which would last more than one cycle of screw in screw out.
