iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Last week at $DAYJOB, we wanted to connect a Raspberry Pi 4 to a monitor. Raspberry Pi 4 has a Micro-HDMI port. The monitor has DisplayPort and DVI.

So, we went to IT support to see, if they have anything to make that work. Well, only thing they have with Micro-HDMI is an adapter that brings it onto VGA, because that's apparently an adapter someone needed.
Now you'd think they might have VGA-to-DVI, but nope, we had to route through normal HDMI in between. So, the chain of adapters we now use is:

Micro-HDMI → VGA → HDMI → DVI

Oh, and for good measure, the HDMI-to-DVI adapter also has a USB-plug dangling off the side, which definitely won't get routed through VGA.

Why do you have to call out my Factorio playthrough

Remove the ground pin and it'll work fine. Just make sure your insurance covers electric fires.

This would be a decorator pattern. Not sure if this is the right use case tho

Where do they have power sockets with two round European-style pins and two flat North American-style pins, and what voltage comes out of them?

I kind of expected it to spark and smoke a bit when plugged in. To be accurate.
