The Sega Genesis used a Z80 for FM synthesis.
Not exactly, it used the Z80 to control the actual sound chips: a Yamaha YM2612 (which does FM) and a Texas SN76489 (which is a simpler PSG). And this setup, in the right hands, could produce absolutely excellent music.
The man really had no shame:

Its search function was simple — type in a question, get an answer. But the quality of its responses was uneven, and the website was quickly eclipsed by Google and Yahoo as the world's go-to search engines.
That's sort of what Google does now. You try to search, it gives you some AI-generated overview of the topic before providing links. It's occasionally handy but most often infuriating.
It can't, that's just "synergy", the idea that one powerful brand can boost another. In reality it just causes confusion and incorrect assumptions.
If people treated airplanes the same way, they'd say: some planes have crashed before, so we must never fly again.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed? We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against. We're after power and we mean it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt." -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
There's the old story of a newb typing in all caps, someone replies telling him to press caps lock, and the newb says, THANK YOU, NOW I DON'T HAVE TO KEEP HOLDING SHIFT!
They are the first step toward a slippery slope toward a ban on anonymity.

This system is to make environmentalists feel good about themselves but really makes does not make that much of a difference to pollution. It however increase the risk of needing repairs and vehicle ownership cost.
I wish you humans would leave me alone.
