@gamingonlinux Honestly, I would thanks the serial port more than the USB-A, because of the number of time I tried to connect the USB cable/device in the wrong orientation. At least it was easily visible with the serial!

@gamingonlinux is this meant to be ironic? Bar the 1/4 inch jack every other one has given me jip at one time or another

@gamingonlinux No. Only USB-C and jack. The rest sucks only marginally less than VGA.

I think hdmi and displayports should have the screws like vga had. There I said it. While vga was annoying it was sturdy as hell
once you got it plugged in. I knew some machines where the cable could hold the entire computer up. So many display and hdmi ports die
because they get bent or broken due to nothing securing it. if we had screws it would add like 10 years to a cables lifecycle for users.
vgas blue color also made it easy to find in the cable pile compared to a black hdmi or displayport cable. it had its flaws but it did alot of things right
if you cant undo a vga cable then might I recommend this

@gamingonlinux VGA? Meh, that's easy, let me introduce you the good'old PS/2. Whoever didnt bend some pin while plugging in one of those may throw the first stone

Two PS/2 ports, one for keyboard and the other for mouse

The last one should have been a vagina.

@gamingonlinux If "standards" then sure. If actual, physical port design, then D-SUB is being treated very unfairly here, while USB-A is getting a pass despite being an absolutely atrocious design.

@gamingonlinux Really hard slap on VGA when non-sense DVI or any molex and other power supply ones should have take it instead 😰

@gamingonlinux Oi! VGA has been the most roubust and commonly found connector I've seen to this day, right after the actual power connector on PCs. Especially in schools...

@gamingonlinux VGA is fine; HDMI is a piece of shit

@gamingonlinux ...why people hate on HDMI? Works great, nice and thicc. I don't ever use 4k though, as I built my gaming/daily driver pc in 2016 to last forever

@gamingonlinux everyone hates HDMI until they allow open source drivers.

@gamingonlinux Plugging VGA in the back of a device where you can't see is way easier than plugging HDMI.

BNC connectors were fairly easy to work with, but gave quite a jolt.

@gamingonlinux I really like VGA every time I have to debug a computer. It initializes instead with many machines DP and HDMI don't initialize during post and pxe VGA doesn't care if ther is a monitor it still gives you a signal

@gamingonlinux only VGA will always work. And it can't have driver issues...

@gamingonlinux I don’t see the DB-25 parallel port. WHERE IS IT?? Can’t go wrong with 8 data, 4 output control, 5 input control, and 8 ground pins
