As someone who worked IT help desk in the mid/late aughts: fuck VGA and DVI. Let them stay dead. If I had a nickel for every time I snagged one in a desk's rat's nest on every single USB or power cable while trying to route cables, I could build me a top of the line gaming rig with 2026 prices.

For that reason VGAs could make really good grappling hooks. 😂

The RJ plugs are my least favourite. Still snags but the plastic bit that snags is feeble enough to break off easily, and then the plug doesn't have anything holding it in to the port. And those covers usually make it harder to fit it through holes intended for ethernet cables as well as make it harder to unclip it from the port.

Like the Cisco switch that needed to be recalled due to the placement of it's reset button.

There's really no excuse for that one
