Doing it yourself would mean visiting one of those build your own pc forums for help, and I think most people would rather kill themselves.

I know a number of people that have demonstrated all of the required skills at work but the mere thought of plugging unique shapes into the matching sockets scares the fuck out of them.

Having the electrician at work watch me build a computer and ask "how do you know you won't electrocute yourself?" made me facepalm thermal paste between my eyebrows. He even solders but he seemed serious, confused, and a bit defensive when I said something like "oh fuck off ya turd".

I think about that every block in the square hole video with the girl crying a lot. At first it feels like its pointing out lousy and exploitable design, but I start thinking that a lot of people won't be able to solve it and it's actually showing how most people think and the girl is the outlier dying from trying to teach people incapable of brain cell.
