The author decidedly has expert syndrome -- they deny both the history and rational behind memory units nomenclature. Memory measurements evolved utilizing binary organizational patterns used in computing architectures. While a proud French pedant might agree with the decimal normalization of memory units discussed, it aligns more closely to the metric system, and it may have benefits for laypeople, it fails to account for how memory is partitioned in historic and modern computing.

He probably uses Phillips head screws.

Dunno but there are two similar but slightly different cross head screw designs https://www.pbswisstools.com/en/news/detail/phillips-and-poz...

Patents at work.

Before the patent on Phillips screws & tools expired, Pozidriv was launched which was different enough to be capable of a bit more torque.

Phillips was for mass-production, Posidriv for mass-production with a little more torque.

Lots of people who wanted that still waited until the Pozidriv patent expired before considering it.

The screws themselves are marked on the head with little ticks so you can tell the difference, but not necessarily the screwdrivers :\

It's good to have the right tool for the job, HP instruments used Posidriv in a number of places.
