basic cables

Bless his heart but we had a new guy setting his dock station up a couple years ago now, he tried daisy chaining his monitors display input together to make a dual display set up. We were small talking about our PC setup a little bit before this interaction. This was my moment of "what happened?"

I get that sometimes people don't know exactly how something works and they get confused, like ethernet splitters not allowing you to split the output of one cable to two PCs. Fair enough, people used to cable TV and phone lines might not expect that behaviour.

What could possibly make you think monitors can be daisy chained? Nothing else in that space works that way either... Though now you've got me wondering about USB-C monitors and what kind of unholy hell of client confusion we might be bringing to our doorstep with those.
