It's interesting how different people's perception of what is ancient or not.
From the title I was assuming something around about 0 BCE, but it turns out to be a 17th century factory.

Should this be a Show HN?
Why not? I'm a Flutter dev, and this might actually be useful for me.
The one thing I maybe missed, is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of developing Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Wearing sunglasses apparently helps. You just need to make sure they have a proper UV rating, a lot of the cheap ones you get online don't do a good job of blocking UV.

Is this generally true for laptops / phones?
I've often wondered why I can tell by touch whether a device is charging or not from the slight "vibration" sensation I get when gently touching the case.
I get that too. I was wondering if it was just me.

The handwringing over Trump continues and is completely unwarranted. Obama bailed out the entire banking industry to horrifying moral hazard. The US is bailing out Intel for national security reasons and taking a 10% stake is a better deal for US taxpayers than how typical bailouts like GM played out. Sheesh! It's like you can't even read a news story these days without seeing the anti-Trump bias programmed into the article.
It was Bush who signed the bailout bill, not Obama.
I don’t care that developers have to pay 30%, it makes no difference to me. If that fee went away… it would just give them 30% more profit.
Developers getting paid better is a good thing, surely?
Yes, we understand that, but it’s not a good comparison.
Producing chips and agricultural goods are fundamentally different, starting with limits like climate, seasonality, and land. At most, you could compare it to mining minerals for chip production
I don't think they're referring at all to any similarities in how they're produced.
It's more to do with similarities in the consequences of not have any local supply in times of emergency.

I am a noob, but is the Zohran Mamdani (new NYC mayor candidate)'s campaign also using this style of typeface for the logos etc. It looks similar.
Do you have any links that we can check out? I'm curious to see what they look like now.

I have instituted a policy where every major chip design is reviewed and approved by me
You left out the best part at the end "...before tape-out"
So, he's going to wait until the tape out stage of a major new chip design before he reviews it? Bold move.
On top of that, the gan chargers are made as small as possible and overheat all the time. Modern, sleek, enshitified - just like our software!
I've had to replace a few cables, but have never had issues with USB-C sockets.
