It's not the same without two little screws jangling about

I had fuckin bent pins and pins falling out of my vga connector. I had to straighten them and align them. Good times.

Yes officer. This post over here.
No, seriously, why am I offended. This is offensive to me.
Probably because the screws can’t be used!
Just gonna have to 3d print a phone case with the corresponding threads, I guess.

this is the most comments I've seen on lemmy. now i know the community I'm in. God help me.
Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.
There was a thread this week about Biden's achievements and it got at least 600 comments haha.
Nice! I can definitely see how that would stir the pot. I've had a lot of good discussion on Lemmy, I really enjoy it.
I like it here too. It's smaller, nicer than... That other, silly place.

A power plug, but the three-prong ones like we have in the UK. The two lower prongs would appear to be plugged into the phone, and the top prong would just hover uselessly above the phone.
Bonus points for following the shape of the plug properly and having the cable come out of the bottom of the wall wart, so the phone can never lat down flat while it's charging.
This is evil. I love it.

An ethernet cable that's actually wired for a serial port
looks at network hardware vendors
Sounds like someone accidentally used the wrong port a few times.
That's what she said?

I've seen a few renditions of this one so far:
At first I thought it was great standard connector. It turns out to be non-standard garbage.
You have to buy a million dollar iPod to use it.
Side note, does anyone know some sort of cable sleeve similar to this that instead grabs onto the device and stabilizes the port?
As much as I like type-C, the ports on my laptop have worn down significantly and aren't always stable
Depends on what you mean by stable.
It's likely dust in the port. If you gently clean it out with a toothpick or other small flat instrument you will get it to seat better. If dust is the issue, you should see some lint at the bottom of the port.

Personally I have the opinion that usb-c should be a connector for mobile devices only and there should be something with the size of a type a or b for stationary stuff. The size makes the connector too flimsy

I would want an RJ45 charger.
Why two different and incompatible options?
Or, more generally, why can't I ever read some USB spec and get out with less questions than I had in the beginning?
Probably for the same reason why they decided to rename USB 3.0.
I guess they had a liquor cabinet in the room where they held their meeting
Because for some reason, the USBIF has been hit over and over again with the stupid stick ever since USB2 came out.

The single screw version looks wrong somehow.

Terrible ideas:
- Garden hose
- NEMA 10-50 - each "prong" could be a different connector
- CCS
- USB-A
- Quick-connect air coupler
The first one reminds me of this classic

That is a work of art.
You inspired at least one print. Thankfully, I have blue filament on hand!
Hey, I'd buy it. Maybe, I mean money is pretty tight.
V G A! V G A!
VGA master race.
One of those big old audio jacks. Bonus points for use of metal and leaving a good chunk of it ‘sticking out’.
I just cut up an old VGA cable to make some of these tonight. Surprisingly not that hard to take apart. I'll need to use my dremel to cut the screws off of their little blue thumb grips so I can glue them on.
