Lightly screw in one
And then replace my old shit and not touch anything but HDMI or DP for the last ten years.
Winner winner chicken dinner
One if somewhat temporary.
Both if I want 1-2% increase in performance.
The real answer is the top one fell out a long time ago.
That one standoff got loose 12 years ago, so none.
Otherwise, it's all HDMI and DP.
I sure wish my external HDDs had screw in ports. Those things come loose if there's a change in air pressure.
Just one on each end.
My current job, we test products with these cables, we are required to screw in both when plugging it in, so both.
You have some code to do so?
I donβt screw them in unless itβs in a confined location where the cable is applying pressure to unseat, or if itβs fallen off at least once
Neither, and I never once had the cable fall out. Just imagine the countless seconds I saved from not screwing and unscrewing.
if I HAVE to use vga, and its only being used for 1 computer, than both, else none if im only using it for temporary reason , none.
I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn't originally do VGA.
I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.
Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.
Context kind of matters for me, but if I'm screwing any in, it's both of them.
My monitors are on a swivel bar, and plug into the underside. Those get screwed completely in if the cable has screws. But on the desktop, since it doesn't really move and I've never yanked a cable, they're usually left loose.
Oooooh ! You !
I usually screw in both bolts but I still have an old laptop that I use on very rare occasions that doesn't have the screw holes for some reason.
Both, but the second always gets stuck before the end.
Are you fully tightening one side before starting on the other side?
