zilog (or whoever owns them this week) has been limping along as a shell of a company for decades now. the Z80 is basically all they ever had, although the Z180 and eZ80 were popular in certain niches. but all their mainstream attempts at Z80 successors were complete failures - Z800, Z8000, Z80000, Z280...

this also must mean that there are fewer and fewer things actually embedding z80’s these days that it’s not worth it

The Z800/280 being backwards compatible with the Z80 was nice, but it launched years too late and has so many hardware bugs that the built-in peripherals are half useless (it can't reliably do DMA to I/O ports for example). The Z8 microcontroller range was HUGE in industrial gear, but was never really upgraded and then PIC and Atmel ate their lunch.

Z80 chat: I was told that their main problem was that their owner Exxon wanted to get on this computer thing themselves and not ‘help’ other companies, thus the really odd series of decisions. They of course had no idea what to actually make, which made things worse.

Chris Knight posted:since it's a real motorcycle helmet and not the usual cyberpunk art piece, the visor and the chin bar have to have locking mechanisms, and I'm assuming that as they rotate on a common axis, there's a point where there's some interference, so one has to pop out of the lock to allow the other bit to pass by yeah that makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty happy that this though is actually functional, it's always disappointing to see the pieces that are purely decorative.

Sorry to say, 3/4 and modular helmets will still delete your jaw in a crash. Full face one piece or don't get on the bike. That's a neat design tho

modular ones are fine as long as you ride with the chin bar down and locked. internet motorcycle weenies argue about it but the difference in safety between a modular and a full-face is too small to be seen in the noise.

Would argue for several pages with you over this, but the fact is that modulars with the chinstrap are what people that would normally run open-face graduate to, and they legitimately are better than those corpse lids, so I still don't like them and think they're more aesthetically oogly than a normal full helmet.

Still mad i never picked up the Shoei Harmonic RF-1200 before they stopped production. Impossible to find now, and the ones you will locate are old and out of spec. Ugh.

ok so explain it like i dont know anything about cameras, cause i don't. why, in 2024? like, can't we just make a camera with a wide aspect ratio sensor? why all the optical hijinks? that being said that video is cool and all the footage looks dope.

surely you just film in standard aspect ratio and zoom, then use infallible ai to extrapolate the additional pixels to convert it to widescreen

Jonny 290 posted:can't we just make a camera with a wide aspect ratio sensor? why all the optical hijinks? I read somewhere, like over a decade ago so I dunno how true it is anymore, that making camera sensors is still quite difficult and expensive to pull off and there is a lot of waste in the process. Even though full frame sensors are getting cheaper, the reason why they are so expensive is not entirely just a marketing thing. And why medium format cameras still cost $5-10K. So it's likely possible some company could spin up production on wide aspect ratio sensors, it would cost a hell of a lot of money to do and they would be limiting their cameras to the video-only market on top of it. The other thing and maybe this is the most important is that people just like aesthetic of anamorphic lenses.
