Who screwed in vga carefully every time? Without the screws vga was worse.

You can get HDMI with a lock tab . I hate that too. Nothing worse than trying to reach behind a wall mount to squeeze the lock tab.

I did. Because something in me just won’t let something not be secured properly if a mechanism for it exists.

Sometimes you want it to disconnect instead of pull everything down with it if something gets caught on a wire.

Like a cat

I hear you, I just can’t do it. Though all the slack is zip-tied away, albeit messily.

Oh no. Run those cables sloppy free like a 90s cyberpunk rat's nest.

I apologize for nothing

It's like magic. I swear, sometimes it gets in places the instant it's able to. Meowphy's Law.

This is the logic of most ports. It's more expensive to replace the thing the cable is being plugged into than the cable. So you want the cable to fail from force first and leave the hardware undamaged.

Agreed. What mad man didn't at least think "I'll screw them in just a bit so it doesn't fall out" and then just continue screwing it in all the way because of course you might as well finish.

Only time I didn't screw it in was when I was using a monitor temporarily or something. Something I knew I'd just unplug later that day.

Did people really just plug in VGA to their computer and then leave in unscrewed for months at a time? That shit would fall out if I bumped into my desk too hard.
