     @chjara Which also reminds me that my NoVidya GPU from 2006 has DVI, S-Video and optional VGA (removable for half-width PCI).

     @a13cui Those are macbooks, I know of them because people with them would always carry a bunch of adapters or be like "Ah yeah right, I have a tablet looking like a laptop".

     @lanodan wait until you find out about PCs that only have DisplayPort (or even Mini-DP) or a weird HDMI + mini-DP (ahem X260) combo which requires you to buy a dubious adapter

     @lanodan oh wait, it's now worse, the T14 doesn't even have that mini DP port so you *have* to use the docking station (I hope it's compatible with a T480 one since it uses the same port)

     @a13cui HDMI at least is pretty much the current era equivalent of VGA.

     @a13cui Nah, I'd say DP completely failed to get enough traction and ended up being the DB13W3 of this era where people with DP have adapters (just like for USB-C, in fact my USB-C video adapters give HDMI out).

     @lanodan and Display Port is the current era equivalent of HDMI since it seems like a lot of GPUs and monitors are DP-exclusive (even USB-C display output is based off that standard)

     @a13cui Eh? It's absent in a lot of current GPUs and almost never was in full-size on laptops.

     @a13cui *checks online store*
     Well yeah but VGA still seems to be on monitors, yet it's been absent from computers for quite a lot of years now.

     @lanodan I still see it in monitors (at least not the cutting edge ones)

     @a13cui
     In fact at that store (materiel.net), in terms of displays available per ports:
     - HDMI: 562
     - DP: 481
     - VGA: 149
     - USB-C: 134 (that's quite surprising)
     - DVI: 41

     @a13cui Probably because you don't get rid of a standard which was there as for something like 50+ years that easily.
     And it's probably profitable enough to slap a cheap scaler in the display.
