I think James' post on page 1 there sums it up: Quote The FSF. More Twatter than Twitter. More Facepalm than Facebook.

57Gregy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) The Vizio TV I use for a computer monitor had a cracked body and would wobble a little if you bumped it inadvertently. Or advertentley. I decided to replace it with an after-market stand from where I work. ONN brand. Only $18. Unusual for me to replace something before it's completely broken. The thing is pretty hefty for such an inexpensive piece and fit together well. I started to attach it to the TV and discovered that the right leg extended down over where the power cord plugged in. Hmm. I then angled the legs outward so the jack was accessible. I could use just 1 screw at the tops and wire the bottom in such a way that it wouldn't spread out. Used high-class, coated clothes hanger wire. The left leg was in the way of the VGA jack. Hmm. Time to dig out the tools. Drilled about 20 holes in the bottom of the right leg around the periphery, then used a chisel to break the metal and vise grips to nibble out the dross, leaving a nice, elongated hole through which to plug the cord. You might think it's bad design, but probably the engineers didn't think* the VESA mount would be used for legs, but for wall-mounting, which would leave lots of space for cables. Anyway, I no longer have a wobbly monitor. *non-thinking engineers. Isn't that redundant? Like a former car which had a $7 thermostat that was only accessible by removing the entire top of the engine if you wanted to replace it. $400. "Hey, Bob, where do you want me to put the thermostat?" "Stick it under the intake manifold. Plenty of room under there". Took me fifteen minutes to replace my Miata's thermostat. $7.
