rip zilog z80, it almost made it 50 years.
the z80 was the cpu for everything from OG gameboy to military tech to keyboards during its lifespan. endlessly versatile and extremely cheap to produce, but apparently zilog is sick of making them/no demand.
idk if i have to blame IoT/cloud or muh chip shortage for this, but it pisses me off a little bit. now people are going to have to work with new shit, when z80s are still in use today. if it's not broken, don't fix it, and definitely don't stop making the thing that isn't broken.
