Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether?

Haven't plugged in a VGA cable in a long time. As someone else pointed out it depends if it is temporary or long term.. I always screw them in if it is long term
Exactly. What have you done to HDMI and DP ports?
DVI is the Gen X of video connectors
VGA is the Boomers and HDMI is the Millenials. Gen-Z is using USB-C.
Nobody likes DisplayPort
DisplayPort is the cool uncle who is happy to mind the kids for free. A lot of people copy his smooth relaxed style and mannerisms without realising.
you take that back
The only reason I have any DisplayPort cables is to support the monitors I stole from work
Lol
and just like the boomers VGA is still thriving
The cables are extra long so they have plenty of slack, too.
