Am I the only one that never tightened them?

[–] SuperApples 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I tighten them and it saved my monitor! Robbers broke in to our house, stole a bunch of stuff. The computer monitor was still there, connected to the computer, dangling from the table.

How do I know they tried to steal it? Because they tried to cut through the cable with PAPER SCISSORS, because they didn't know how to unscrew the cables.

I feel sorry for the dumb robbers. I hope they didn't pawn it and are still enjoying playing Wii Fitness without the balance board, which they neglected to take with the console.

Oh wow, I didn't see that coming. Screw-terminal cable connections are now the Manual Transmission of computer parts.
