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

      You could take the screws out of your iPhone and glue them onto the knobs, it’ll void your AppleCare though.

      No, how about DVI that looks like HDMI? Hold on…

      Explaination: basically HDMI is patent-troll-guarded version of DVI with some additional(and useless or actively harmful) stuff

      Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.

    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.
