What did dude think was coming out of the VGA port? Tiny photographs? It’s all electricity through wires, of course it’ll send some electricity into a phone

Yeah but is the voltage correct? It should be 5V to charge a phone over USB, is that part of the VGA spec?

Yeah I don’t think there’s a 5V pin for VGA.

I think if we had the scenario where we had a higher voltage than needed, we could have a toasty voltage regulator making something happen, but going the other way would need boost circuitry unlikely to exist in these parts, in my understanding
