Both every time but I also haven’t used a VGA cable in at least 15 years.
For quickly testing something: fuck screws.
For long-term use: both a tight as I can so I barely can unscrew them later because why not.
Long term use, at least one
Temporary, fuck the screws all together
And it was always temporary!
I’ve had less fall out than I had cases where the screw stuck in the socket and it started unscrewing out of the motherboard that I just gave up on them altogether
I loathe when the stand offs come out with the vga cable!!!
Both, heathens dont bother and they reap what they sow.
Both
Pro tip: It’s a lot easier f you twist both knobs at the same time using the same motion as opening a bottle cap.
Both. Lose cables are annoying.
I think this is highly dependent on the setup… like is this temporary, semi- temporary, or permanent?
Let’s say it’s for years, but this setup is not moving around at all and it’s one of like a hundred of machines you prepare for usage.
At least one, probably both.
Got it. I myself was a ‘both sides’ guy, kek, but gradually descended to just one and it’s yet to fail me.
Ever think you got it unscrewed and accidentally yank the standoff from the PCB?
I work in tech support. I haven’t done this, but a user I’ve worked with absolutely has. I have a photo around here somewhere, if I recall correctly he actually ripped the wires out of the cable lmao!
Edit: the picture. Guess it wasn’t wires out of the cable hah.
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 just use HDMI or DP
DP
BBC?
no, BNC
I sure wish my external HDDs had screw in ports. Those things come loose if there’s a change in air pressure.
One if somewhat temporary.
Both if I want 1-2% increase in performance.
Hand tight, then torque wrench, 7-inch pounds.
