    Don’t be a conformist!

    Make your own decisions!

    Keep Centronics Parallel alive!

    If you aren’t using at least 3 different types of DVI connectors your nerd card is revoked!

      I’ve never ripped the head off of a DVI or VGA cable. Unlike HDMI and DP, then they put little grippy clips in em now so you got to get the needle nose pliers out and rip them out the port too.

        Personally I just splice all my cables into MIL-DTL-26482 connectors, that way I know they’re solid!

        And they’re big enough you can grip it with your whole hand!

      God, fuck those dual DVI-D ports. We had a bunch of computers at my first real job that used that crap and the breakout cables were such complete and utter shit. Dell, you had room for two DVI-D ports on your shit ass midtowers!

      EDIT: also fuck DVI-A. I’ve had one miserable encounter with that port and I’m glad it’s dead. Either keep shit VGA, use DVI-D, or use the far superior DisplayPort with a locking cable.

      God I fucking love DisplayPort locking cables.
