South Korea is in the grip of a "spycam" epidemic with covert footage of sex, nudity, and urination posted online in what amounts to a "social death penalty" for thousands of female victims.
The footage may be taken surreptitiously by boyfriends or captured on covert devices as small as car keys. Daily camera checks are now part of life for cleaners in many public toilets.
The spy camera phenomenon has reached such epidemic proportions in tech-savvy South Korea that tens of thousands of women have taken to the streets to march for action.
Srsly?

It was only about 10 years ago, and it's coming back to me a little more clearly, it was the 65HC11s - we used to make widgets with those in the late 1990s which is part of why my resume matched - they did pack enough oomph to keep a road grader blade level, but definitely weren't trying anything fancy with high precision dynamic differential equations.

Actually I have no clue what they're really using.
I wonder how much the state of the art has advanced - recently I've seen equipment with what I'm sure are high precision GPS receivers mounted to both sides of a blade or scoop, but I wonder how much is being passed to a central CPU in the machine or if the domes are doing the hard crunching and just passing along position corrections to the machinery.
I fiddled around with Z80 assembly language back in the day but nothing in serious (i.e. past personal) use.
This sig for rent.

My first "real job" was with a shop that had just finished developing a dual core Z80 device, one crunching the numbers another driving an LCD display (like 320x120 monochrome...) they did it in full assembly, and it was a mess. Worked well enough to use, but after the Z80 developers left nobody ever figured out how to get the toolchain up again for software mods. We actually did one software mod about 5 years later by inserting two NOPs into a key place in the disassembled code.
