I gave up on screwing VGA cables way before the turn of the century.

I've had some disconnect unintentionally. What was never a big problem. But HDMI connectors are much tighter, and I don't expect to ever see any disconnect. Ditto for DP.

Anyway, the fact that if you pull a modern cable it will unplug is a feature, not a bug.

I mean, a locking connector is also a feature. Just for a different market

The connection for HDMI is sod, but damn if it doesn't still lose signal every time I move my monitor.
