Oh I see, you don’t even understand what VGA is…

In theory you can push anything over the wires, be it analogue or digital. The issue is with communication standards. VGA defines which wires should be used, which frequencies should be used, etc. Thus VGA specifically has limitations. Otherwise monitors, cables and video cards would have compatibility issues. I don’t think you were pushing 4000x3000 resolution through VGA. Just like today no one is pushing video streams to giant building sized screens over consumer HDMI or DVI.

Another example is XLR VS 3.5mm jack. In theory you can push audio signal of any quality over both, but XLR by spec is balanced and shielded, while 3.5mm is not. This means that XLR is capable of pushing much better audio.

Analogue doesn’t mean it supports everything.

If only VGA had 4K@120+ fps support…

How do you imagine them working if their home instance is down? You can only see the cache of old posts and your comments won’t propagate outside your own instance. If LW is down, everything on LW is down effectively.
