You can do it! Don't let the younglings make you feel out of place and don't be afraid to bring your real world experience to the table to help them out!
Also, do some electives and extracurriculars if you aren't already! Yes its more load but totally worth it!
I went back to college (attended a technical college) at 25 (I think it was? I can't remember lol) and had multiple classmates twice my age. Its not too late unless you decide its too late!
Plus the best part about going back to college after being in the workforce already is employers feel less like they're taking a risk with you than if you're 20/22, so you absolutely can hit the ground running. I graduated about 3 years ago and I've already landed myself a job as a system administrator, and my older classmates are doing higher level project management type roles, and that all comes primarily because we have a decade or more of job experience under our belts, even if its not necessarily in the industry (one of my classmates was a sheriff before he went back for example)
I wouldn't be surprised if it varies by monitor but I've encountered plenty of monitors professionally where I could not tell the difference between the VGA or HDMI input, but I can absolutely tell when a user had one of the cheap adapters in the mix and generally make a point of trying to get those adapters out of production as much as possible because not only do they noticably fuck with the signal (most users don't care but I can see it at least) but they also tend to fail and create unnecessary service calls
VGA and DVI honestly were both killed off way too soon. Both will perfectly drive a 1080p 60fps display and honestly the only reason to use HDMI or Displayport with such a display is if that matches your graphics output
The biggest shame is that DVI didn't take off with its dual monitor features or USB features. Seriously there was a DVI Dual Link with USB spec so you could legitimately use a single cable with screws to prevent accidental disconnects to connect your computer to all of your office peripherals, but instead we had to wait for Thunderbolt to recreate those features but worse and more likely to drop out
Current economic indicators aren't looking good. If the largest employer in the country performs mass layoffs there'll be a loooot of people out of work and likely not enough jobs to go around
I still think it's incredible he named his not yet an actual government department after a should-be-treated-as-a-security-by-the-SEC that he pumped and dumped
The Republican party has used every dirty tactic they can to advance their agenda regardless of their current count of votes in the house or Senate. Remember how they refused to confirm a Supreme Court pick for over a year on the off chance that they'd win the 2016 election? Remember how they stonewalled and blocked anything and everything every way they could during the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations? There is no "they go low we go high" because all that gets is more incrementalism
Ongoing trends would indicate a significant drop in birth rate is extremely likely. Major cities will most likely be facing population shrinkage by the end of the century
Up until we practically landed boots IN germany, we didn’t really have any idea what was going on, that’s part of why it took so long for anything to be done
There were people who specifically got themselves arrested to observe conditions within the concentration camps and then escape because some reports of conditions were too unbelievable
The very first hacker purposely damaged the contact that read the value that stored if a citizen was Jewish on the punch cards of census data in occupied France (if I'm remembering correctly) it's not known how many he saved but he did pay the ultimate price and died in the concentration camps for his sabotage efforts
Edit: my memory was close. René Carmille specifically delayed the June 1941 report on the numbers of Jewish citizens and foreigners so that it still wasn't complete by the time of his ultimate arrest in 1944, and utilized his position to create extremely real fake identities for escaping refugees amongst other resistance actions
