Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Having soldered many of both, I should have noticed. I literally just threw out a big pile of both that have been loitering in storage for years. I'm still surprised when old tech (for any random definition of "old") pops up.
