I'm curious which devices did you need to replace the port on? I've had to replace a few cables, but have never had issues with USB-C sockets.

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.

Why not? I'm a Flutter dev, and this might actually be useful for me.

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.

Developers getting paid better is a good thing, surely?

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.

Do you have any links that we can check out? I'm curious to see what they look like now.

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.

Education. I really wish all this time, effort, and money was spent on educating our kids to safely navigate the online world. It's not like they'll magically figure it out for themselves once they turn 17.

Just to be clear, you never actually spoke to one of the staff and said you'd like to purchase something?

Indeed. There were survivors from that horrific Korean flight that crashed into the concrete wall.

Probably, but I doubt there'd be much flavour

I've driven many cars over the years. Not once has a vent ever broken. Which cars are you driving where they break often?

I was at Uni in Australia well before Oracle bought Sun. Java was used quite extensively then too.

Not at the operating system level, but there is a Mac app called ScreenMemory which does mostly the same thing. I used to use it as a convenient way to find websites that I had read something about in the recent past but couldn't remem

I'm guessing modern sensors and fly-by-wire systems might at least handle the last part.

Thanks for the info. For those of us not familiar with it, what were the main motivations for building Fuchsia instead of just using Linux?

Interesting. Could you post a link to the dongle?

I'm curious why you're saying it's less hackable? I've written my own little app for my Garmin watch, and I didn't need to get permission from them or pay them anything.

It's the same in Australia as well. I'm a bit shocked that the US doesn't have this.

Unless I'm missing something, there's also been no innovation in their product at all. A company can only coast for so long.

Except this dangerous obstacle did not need to be there. It could and should have been mounted on frangible posts, not on solid concrete.

Did you accidentally type an extra 1 there? The original Macintosh launched at $2.5K which is a bit over $7K in today's dollars.

Definitely a rolling shutter. I think no word on the readout speed yet, but I've seen 12ms quoted for the 12K LF sensor.
