Dear #Fediverse #Video people, does there exist such a thing as a #VGA to #Displayport adapter? I have an elderly machine that only has VGA, and my KVM only has Displayport. The usual suppliers of cheap electronic tat are only advertising DP-to-VGA adapters, and I'm not convinced that cheap electronic tat will convert in the direction I need. I definitely don't need high resolution or ridiculous refresh rates - this is VGA, and I'm not an #̶a̶u̶d̶i̶o̶p̶h̶o̶o̶l̶ video gamer.

This is either "AI" #slop or someone who really, really doesn't understand electricity and audio signals. It's talking about a standard 3.5mm headphone/mic jack on consumer audio devices, and says this when talking about straight vs. right-angle plugs:

If this gentleman has discovered a population of electrons that can tell when they've made a 90-degree turn inside a conductor, I think a #Nobel physics prize is in store for him.
