Have they tried budgeting, making coffee at home?
Less avocado toast?
I think they are boomers instead of millennials. I think for them its great depression stuff, like have you tried eating cat food for protein and growing onions in your garden.
TIL Kodak still exists.
The brand will probably be sold to some outfit that will stamp it on cheap TVs.
That’s how they did RCA in. Sad end to a glorious engineering company.
Also, there’s a reason there’s a song about Kodachorme and not Technicolor.
And Westinghouse
My RCA TV is still going strong. It has to have been at least a decade now lol
Maybe they shouldn’t have sat on that digital camera for so long
Really sad, but as someone said, they had their chance at digital and blew it.
Along those lines, they were also interested in:
Neutron imaging
Starting decades ago, Kodak had an interest in neutrons, subatomic particles that can be used to determine the makeup of a given material or to create an image of it without damaging it.
A steady stream of neutrons is needed for these purposes. Kodak used small research reactors, including one at Cornell University, and possessed a dollop of californium-252, a radioactive isotope that endlessly sheds neutrons.
But it wanted a more potent in-house system, so in 1974 it acquired a californium neutron flux multiplier, known as a CFX. Small plates of highly enriched uranium multiplied the neutron flow from a tiny californium core.
Kodak used it to check chemicals and other materials for impurities, Filo said. It also was used for tests related to neutron radiography, an imaging technique.
The device was not much larger than a refrigerator and, in the one available photo, looked vaguely like Robby the Robot from a 1950s science fiction movie. To house it, Kodak dug a cavity below the basement level of Building 82, part of the company’s research complex along Lake Avenue.
I wonder if that photograph is fuzzy because of radiation, or because of the quality of cameras at the time.
Hopefully that photographer ended up okay
I bet they just need more ai
They did try to get into crypto, why not AI?
film is having a little renaissance, i’ve seen other brands selling more 35mm rolls than Kodak, despite their fame, maybe they’ll buy the name
Nothing is permanent. Adapt or die.
You just release a fucking Bluetooth speaker! wtf is wrong with you?!
