Shout out to the Ti-8X users and anyone who remembers zshell.
I doubt this announcement is going to affect the calculators, but it's amazing to see how many things still run off this technology.
TI uses an outside vendor, SK Hynix I believe, for their calculator chips. Z80 isn't going anywhere.
It is worrying though since I follow Collapse OS and a lot of its design aims at the Z80 due to its abundance. Killing off the DIP Z80 gives me some pause.

Wow, collapse OS is quite the rabbit hole. Makes me think of the bootstrapping work described in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_the_Sky
