Haven't plugged in a VGA cable in a long time.

Exactly. What have you done to HDMI and DP ports?

DVI is the Gen X of video connectors

VGA is the Boomers and HDMI is the Millenials. Gen-Z is using USB-C.

DisplayPort is the cool uncle who is happy to mind the kids for free. A lot of people copy his smooth relaxed style and mannerisms without realising.

and just like the boomers VGA is still thriving

The cables are extra long so they have plenty of slack, too.
