Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether? (sh.itjust.works)

Both every time but I also haven't used a VGA cable in at least 15 years.

Lucky you lmao

I still see them once every so often

In fact, I went onsite to a customer who wanted a new PC set up because the old one "wouldn't boot". Sure enough the cable was sticking out of the monitor at about a 15deg angle. I pushed the VGA cable in a bit extra hard and it came right back.

I was out of there in about 30min.
