50 years of the Zilog Z80: The 8-bit chip that ran the world

It started as a better Intel 8080. Half a century later, the Zilog Z80 is responsible for everything from Pac-Man to the Sega Genesis soundscape.

I really don’t get the number of people in the retro computing sphere using generative AI. Like, it’s a space for having fun gaining obscure knowledge about decrepit hardware and off-trend software, what is even the point if you’re just going, ‘Fraude, fix it Fraude… FIX IT!’ 🤡

I just got a TV. I went to my local thrift store and paid 25 euro for a very nice 32” LG FLATRON “Full HD Monitor TV” all I know is it has HDMI and ports for every kind of game console and retro computer too. It has no smart anything. Not even a way to hook it up to a network.

The early consumer Internet was really something. You’d dial in, do stuff, and log off. It was intentional and time-bound. I love the ubiquity and utility of the modern web, but I also miss the episodic nature of my early time online.

LB: did anybody ever make anything interesting out of an old nextcube?

I suspect many people who even get the nextcube reference in the first place will remember that time that simson garfinkel burned the case of one to see what would happen (they’re made of magnesium) but iirc they actually got next to give them a spare case, no actual workstations were harmed

#retrocomputing #unicode

I didn’t realize how small the Steam “Cube” is. It’s only slightly bigger (length and width) than a new Mini. It is however disappointingly not a real cube, more cube-ish than a G4 Cube but less than the OC NeXTcube.
