    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.

        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.

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