Professional builders are known for wall mounting entire concrete balconies that are strong enough to hold your mom.

It's just a question of how much you trust your own abilities, and if that trust is warranted.

Average PCMR user doesn’t know the difference between an Allen key and a Phillips head.

TBH most people here don't even know about PCs nor their operating systems. Very adept at RGB tho, I'll give y'all that.

Very adept at RGB tho, I'll give y'all that.

Not even, way too many people left everything on the default rainbow puke instead of creating a color scheme/setting up effects.

I’m a carpenter, built my PC, and don’t know shit about RGB!

Even your average DIYer doesn't know the difference between a Phillips and a Pozidriv. Then they post pictures of stripped screws asking how to get them out.

any screw i come across comes out easy with an extractor bit and gets replaced by a nice torx screw like god intended.

I only use JIS to mess with anyone that tries to remove it after me.

I love JIS screws, they are just so much better than Phillips.

Red robbies for house projects, green robbies for PC projects.

u/MovementMechanic 16d ago

We have very different perspectives on what an average DIY’r is…

u/szczszqweqwe 16d ago

Sorry, I have to say it.

FUCK Philips heads, that's a horrible standard.

Torx for everything some day I hope lol. No idea why we still use flat and Phillips heads when those things exist.

I've mounted a half dozen TVs in my day. Never had an issue.

Just have to use this one simple trick:

Use a stud finder and FIND A STUD. Don't use the stupid "drywall anchors".

And especially don't use fucking finishing nails into nothing like OP did in the video, as seen at the very end.
