I still have VGA cables. Civilizations have risen and fallen since they were last useful, but somehow they remain under my desk, quietly waiting for history to repeat itself.

Are 6 spare Apple Watch band enough?

@masek@infosec.exchange I have loads of VGA cables, as the VGA port ist the best and most common connector for analogue video. I even sell selfmade adapters from VGA to SCART, S-Video and Composite. Retrogamers love them. ;-) #misterfpga

@masek@infosec.exchange last week I found myself in a position where I actually needed a VGA cable for an old laptop. I was about to buy one, then remembered "the drawer". There was the VGA cable, exactly what I needed.

@masek@infosec.exchange OI! I have VGA cables. I have monitors and computers that can be connected with them. OTOH I also have S-Video cables, and there’s no excuse for that.
