The craftsmanship of this
four port USB hub jumped out at me. I can't imagine how reliable this will be..

So now we can carve our own circuit boards? That's really cool!

At least it's got a beefy ground plain?

A ground plane is only as beefy as its tightest bottleneck. Make a trace thin enough and it'll become a resistor.

What impressed me was the board was etched in salt water using electrolysis
And I always thought PCB etching always had to use nasty chemicals of some sort.
