LittleFuse (Zilog's parent company) took the last orders for the #Z80 yesterday.
After 48 years of constant production, #Zilog will no longer produce the Z80 as LittleFuse is unable to keep producing the current Z84Cxxxx series using the 4-micron (4000 nm) CMOS process.
The legendary chip, designed by the legendary Federico Faggin in 1976 was largely responsible for the microcomputer revolution and is still beloved by electronics hobbyists today.
It had one hell of an impact! RIP Z80
I'm surprised nobody picked the aliens option yet. Is it too obvious that nobody wants to pick that, or does everyone believe in The Great Filter hypothesis?
21 years ago today, @ronpaul gave his “Neo-Conned!” speech to Congress
“The modern-day, limited-government movement has been co-opted. The conservatives have failed in their effort to shrink the size of government.”
Who are the neo-cons? Listen below:
it annoys me greatly when people blame the depression of their kids on external things. "climate change", "social media", "the pandemic" and so on.
blame your own "woe is me" attitude and intellectual sloth of seeing the only solution in trading in your agency.
it is the responsibility of a parent to teach and guide their child how to deal with these things in a productive, peaceful way that doesn't force them to kill their light.
don't blame the problems, blame your inability to come up with a better way to deal with them and failing to teach your child to do so.
this one time you can't get away with handing off your duty.

@xianc78 I had a teacher who was an airforce pilot during Vietnam. Told us a story about how they saw a UFO, called it in over the radio, and it promptly got elevated to someone higher in command who told them to turn back and not speak about it ever again.
@mitchconner @marine @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick I was on lots of different meds for depression and epilepsy throughout high school and they fucked me up hardcore. The therapy I had while on them was ass. Took a couple years after stopping taking them to feel normal again. Those high school years feel like a completely different person lived them, like I watched someone else's memories. It's really weird.
My best friend got his degree in pharmacology last year and has already quit. Says he hates the culture and doesn't want to be complicit in fucking people over because he's seen it happen in real time. I hope one day we look back on all of this and see what a monstrous machine it was.
