That HDMA corresponds to the ~224 emulated SNES scanlines, not highres PC scanlines. So while the rotation and scaling is trivial to upscale, the "perspective" would still have a stepped appearance without using some extra tricks.
To be fair to Boeing here, a many of those crashes had either no or few fatalities, and none of the other early 50s designedf jet aircraft were any better -
Convair 880s built (65) / fatalities (181) = 2.8 fatalities per aircraft built
707s built (865) / fatalities (3,039) = 3.5 fatalities per aircraft built
DC-8s built (556) / fatalities (2,256) = 4 fatalities per aircraft built
We COULD go back to the days of having separate, different types of ports for a keyboard, a printer, a display, etc. Then you'd know that what looks like a display can only act as a display, display, because it's connected to the VGA port, not the keyboard port.
Or we could just have our OS tell us what the device is presenting as and prompt to enable DMA, obviously actual malicious peripherals would still be a vector but it somewhat blocks evil maid attacks (if you locked your computer) and hacked USB thumb drives.
What's wrong with the butterfly keyboard? As long as you hoover out the breadcrumbs once in a while (or blow them out with compressed air) the thing works fine.
Many people claim that they were not able to fix stuck keys.
Not to mention should a $1,300 - $2,800 laptop really require you to carry a can of compressed air with you in case your keyboard keys get stuck?
Now, how it would make sense to both be "a remnant from some comet" but also "they're new, and not contaminated by dirty comets" - that one I don't get.
Looks like comets are clean ice below their surface, so it would imagine it would be a case of - pulverizing a comet made mostly of clean ice vs collecting the dirty surface outgassings of passing comets over billions of years.
a bad guy would have to have huge computing resources to overwhelm the good guys
Much as I don't buy into crypto hype either, Ethereum Classic is a failed Ethereum fork that few people use so it's not that surprising it was easily hacked.
It seems like we're worried about climate change, and willing to spend trillions of dollars (or some politicians are trying to get us to spend that much, that is)

I assume you're the original AC here, mode 7 only supports linear 2D matrix transformations so on its own it can't do perspective.
To show perspective effects in mode 7 the SNES uses its HDMA to modify the matrix transform every scanline to create a psudo-3D effect.
That HDMA corresponds to the ~224 emulated SNES scanlines, not highres PC scanlines. So while the rotation and scaling is trivial to upscale, the "perspective" would still have a stepped appearance without using some extra tricks.
The original plan was to sling huge rockets in the middle, but the rockets are cancelled and so they're only launching the tiny Pegasus rockets now
My GTX1060 Laptop can do current-gen VR just fine, so if you need to upgrade at all a GTX1070 should be plenty.

Yes, show me how its all going to be paid for
I mean, they could reduce the US military budget by $100 billion and still be spending more than twice what China does...
While it's not explicitly stated...
Lion Air captain: probably Hindu
Ethiopian Airlines captain: probably Christian
Yeah, but aside from maybe watching on a table while in a car/plane, who would want to actually watch a crappy copy like that?
So, Nvidia includes vastly improved hardware screencap encoders in their new RTX cards... and now 4k iTunes rips are appearing. Coincidence???
Next week on /.: "M$ Spyware Windows 10 has the ability to delete .dll files from your PC without your consent!" ;)
Probably because the 737 platform was designed in the 60s while the A320 platform was designed in the 80s.
This was like fitting a V-12 engine into a model T.
How dare you speak badly of such things!
Why shouldn't a bookstore be able to choose what they stock? Why should a bookstore be forced to carry a product they don't want to sell?
however, in general we should be wary of restricting any speech or sharing of information
Just as we should be wary of forcing people to publish others' speech.
You want to ensure a virulent idea survives? Persecute it so that those who adhere to it have a cause to support.
Apparently not
FYI being forced to publish something is just as dangerous to free speech as being forced to not publish something.
Who owns your data center? Who owns your internet backbone?

There is a reason Windows mimicked the Mac
Are you talking about the original Mac? Because Xerox would like a word with you.

but the later generations are fine.
Apparently dust is still an issue with the newer designs
But at this point, this wouldn't even BE a story if it were Dell or Asus or Microsoft or HP or... ANYONE ELSE.
Actually Surface devices do get mentioned here whenever they have repairability issues

You act like it's easier than just *burning less of our finite supply of fossil fuel*.
Plus if the earth starts to cool like that we will have centuries to come up with a solution, perhaps burning that fossil fuel we kept in reserve..?
Even the vox article that picks the highest figure apart agrees the figure is in the trillions.
It seems like we're worried about climate change, and willing to spend trillions of dollars (or some politicians are trying to get us to spend that much, that is)
Actually politicians are giving trillions of dollars to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies to help make climate change happen.
and having to back away from the ocean a bit.
Yeah it's so easy we can just just just move 10%+ of the world's population and flood 2/3rds of the worlds largest (+5 million people) cities it'll be fine!
Generally not all at the same time though, we tend to call those mass extinctions.
