Every god damn time

No, I actually like DickPlay ports.

(Tho I think we should be using open standard ports overall.)

Who unplugs a cable by pulling on the wire?

Had this at my company some time ago. People just don't understand retention mechanisms I don't think

But less evil than the HDMI fees.

You know they make displayport cables without the clips, right?

Kids nowadays don't know about DVI, VGA, COM, Parallel or Gameport. I loved the days when one could accidentally remove the screw on the board side.

Maybe it's because the dinosaur high as fuck.

skill issue

Just do what I do. DVI to HDMI to an HDMI audio extractor to DVI.

All that for one of these guys, with the speaker bar (not pictured)

Slightly OT, but what do you call people who role play as dragons/reptiles/etc? "Furries" seems inaccurate, but it's the first term that comes to mind when I see art like this.

A similar vein as this, at work I was talking about a heat gun:

"Look, the feet are molded into the cable so if you break it you have to buy theirs!"

I then pull the cable out to show it as an example and snap

I didn't realize it had a retention clip at all, so I lightly pulled it and snapped the thin plastic holding it in. I thought it was held in by friction.

Oops.

I've cut my finger with that sharp metal bump in the DisplayPort cable head. I forgot what I was doing, though. but I was struggling to unplug it and accidentally pressing it abobe that sharp metal bit.

The cut was small but deep, I end up enjoying to see my fresh red blood for a while because it was quite a lot. I rarely bleed that much.

The cash registers at a place I worked had this for the PS2 keyboard connection, too. IIRC, you needed to slide back a sleeve before giving the cable a tug. All this was behind the tight counter, buried under a layer of dust and whatever else fell behind the register. A skilled coworker could do it with one hand, but I never mastered that skill.

Dp over usb type c fixes this...

It DisplayDePorts your silicon.

I gotta confess, as an IT guy I have never ever seen displayport in my life. Not a port, nor a cable. Which is especially weird given that I have 6 displays hooked up that technically use it without a single actual port.

Vga even worse
