Tom Murphy explains how he got a Super NES game running on an unmodified NES.
At this point, we're used to modern computers being able to perform near-perfect emulation of older gaming hardware via software trickery. The latest project from Tom "Tom7" Murphy, though, seems poised to coin its own definition for "reverse emulation" by running a playable Super NES game on actual unmodified NES hardware.
Murphy breaks down this wizardry in a pair of detailed videos laying out his tinkering process. Though the NES hardware itself is untouched, the cartridge running this reverse emulation is a heavily customized circuit board (ordered from China for about $10), with a compact, multi-core Raspberry Pi 3 attached to handle the actual Super NES emulation.
The Pi essentially replaces the PPU portion of the cartridge, connecting to the NES via a custom-coded EEPROM chip that tells the system how to process and display what would normally be an overwhelming stream of graphical data coming from the miniature computer. Only the CIC "copyright" chip from the original cartridge remains unmodified to get around the hardware's lockout chip.

For light data users in the US, Google's cellular service, Project Fi, can be one of the best deals in mobile. It's $20 per month for unlimited calls and texts, plus $1 per 100MB of data you use (that works out to $10 per GB), with a "bill protection cap" (basically an unlimited plan) of $80. Coverage from Sprint, T-Mobile, and US-Cellular is all rolled into one super-carrier, multiple data SIMs are free, and you can text and leave voicemails from a PC.
The hard part is getting a compatible phone that works with Fi's multi-carrier setup. Previously, there was only Google's lineup of Pixel and Nexus phones, along with the Moto X4. Today, Google is announcing three new Fi-compatible phones: The Moto G6, LG G7 ThinQ, and the LG V35 ThinQ.

Another Fallout game needs your help. I'll mark it on your map.
Since yesterday morning, Bethesda has been drawing more than 100,000 Twitch viewers to a static "Please Stand By" screen with a Fallout Pip-Boy in the foreground. Today, those patient fans were rewarded with a rather cryptic, gameplay-free trailer for Fallout 76, the next game from Bethesda Game Studios.
Opening with a cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," the teaser slowly leads us through the interior of Vault 76, which we know from past games was built in the Virginia area. According to the in-game lore, Vault 76 is one of Vault-Tec's "control vaults," designed to be one of the first to open up to the outside world 20 years after the 2077 apocalypse. Judging by the dates in the trailer, that opening might have been delayed—there's a Pip-Boy in a few shots that displays a date of "27 Oct 2102," five years behind "schedule."
Still, the teaser appears to show someone gearing up for a red-letter day. The vault—which appears pristine and functional—is littered with the remains of a huge party, and the character appears to have set his or her alarm in order to get up early for "Reclamation Day," which we assume is when the doors open and the vault's inhabitants emerge to take back a world cleansed of Commies and rich with oil.

HMD announced a new slate of Nokia phones Tuesday. To go along with the previously announced Nokia 6.1 (review coming soon!), we have the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 2.1. The highest-end phone here starts at $220, and the price goes down from there.
Every Nokia phone is worth paying attention to, because they are all part of Google's Android One program. This means they run stock Android and get monthly security updates. Nokia promises two years of major OS updates and three years of security updates for everything. It's really hard to find good, cheap smartphones, and with this lineup (depending on distribution), HMD seems to have the market locked up.
Before we dive in, here's a big spec table:

HP
HP made a comeback with its refreshed Omen gaming laptop line last year, and now the company is updating the model with the most ubiquitous size ahead of E3. The HP Omen 15 notebook will have a slightly new look going forward, along with support for the latest Intel processors and Nvidia's GTX 1070 with Max-Q graphics card.
We only got to see a few pre-production units of the new Omen 15, and the design changes are subtle. It still sports a matte black plastic chassis with glowing red accents and the Omen logo predominantly displayed in the middle of the lid. However, now it has an aluminum keyboard area, giving it a more luxurious feel, and much smaller bezels surrounding the 15-inch display.

It wasn't too long ago that Google announced a slew of new features coming to its various products, from the terrifyingly realistic Duplex phone-calling Assistant to the tantalizingly useful camera-based navigation for Maps. These new tools are starting to trickle out, and some of the first to arrive are updates to Lens, Google's app that provides "real-time answers to questions about the world around you." Now, things like Style Match and Smart Text Selection are available to all "devices featuring Lens in Google Assistant," according to the company. That means basically all Android phones now have the updates, while iOS users will have to wait awhile till Google Photos receives the new software.
Style Match lets you scan items in your surroundings to find other objects with a similar aesthetic, while Smart Text Selection detects words in your viewfinder and can translate or explain them for you. You can also copy and paste text from things like book covers or notices around you, which is pretty neat.
You may have already started seeing some of these new tools on your phone, by the way. Google said it "conducted a controlled roll out for these Lens updates," starting with a smaller percentage and expanding to 100% of users over several days. Now, all compatible devices should have them.
These features will also be "coming soon" to Google Photos, the company said. This means that those of us who use Photos will soon be able to copy and paste text from our stored images into our phones, or find items with a similar style to objects in pictures we've taken. Basically, it's the same Lens features except instead of using a camera, Google will analyze shots you've already snapped.
As announced at I/O, Lens will be built into the native camera apps of phones like the LG G7. Now, you'll also find it in the cameras of compatible devices from brands like Pixel, LG, Motorola, Xiaomi, Sony Mobile, Nokia, Transsion, TCL, OnePlus, BQ and ASUS. If you still prefer having a separate Lens app for some reason, or if your phone isn't by one of these companies, you can download it from the Play store soon.

It was the silence and simplicity of Colin Kaepernick’s protest against police brutality that make the response now so striking. Kaepernick’s decision to quietly take a knee during the anthem, to recognize those who still struggle for equality before the law, has caused him to be all but blacklisted from the NFL, blasted by right-wing commentators for perceived disrespect, and condemned by Republican politicians, including the president of the United States.

When Hillary Clinton was running against Donald Trump in 2016, she boiled down concerns about his temperament to a central question: “Imagine Donald Trump sitting in the Situation Room, making life-or-death decisions on behalf of the United States,” she said. The attack was centered on national security, but the argument went beyond the role of commander in chief to broader questions about Trump’s ability to handle any number of potential crises. How would he react to a public health emergency? How would he deal with a natural disaster?

Last week, a supermajority of Irish citizens voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the country’s constitution, which effectively banned almost all abortions. Though polls predicted victory for women’s rights activists, the outcome still came as a shock to those who were too cautious to hope that the overwhelmingly Catholic country would join the rest of Europe in decriminalizing the procedure.

Knopf/Michael Lionstar
Extreme wealth and income inequality are a threat to democracy.
The Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court declared that unlimited political spending is a type of protected free speech. By this logic, corporations are now people and can use their near-limitless resources to undermine democracy by subverting the will of the American people. Gangster capitalists such as the Koch Brothers -- who also do not believe in basic principles of democracy -- are enforcing a true tyranny of the minority through their donations to candidates, their funding of interest groups and lobbyists and their endowment of entire university departments and professors to produce "scholarship" that supports their agenda.
Beyond public policy, wealth and income inequality are impacting the American people in other immediate and personal ways as well. By one recent report, 43 percent of Americans cannot afford basic necessities. Wages are stagnant and declining when adjusted for inflation. An entire generation of young people is not saving for future retirement because they anticipate working forever and also do not have any disposable income.
What led to these outcomes and what can be done to remedy them? Could these systemic failings have other causes as well? I recently spoke about these topics and others with Steven Brill, the bestselling author of such books as "America's Bitter Pill: Money, Politics, Backroom Deals, and the Fight to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System" and "Class Warfare: Inside the Fight to Fix America’s Schools."
In his provocative new book "Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America’s Fifty-Year Fall – and Those Fighting to Reverse It," Brill argues that the post-World War II expansion of American meritocracy actually created a new type of oligarchy, one whose members are better equipped to protect the gains and power of their own group to the disadvantage of others not in their class.
In this conversation, Brill and I discuss this boomerang effect, the structural factors which created the political conditions necessary for a right-wing authoritarian such as Donald Trump to win the White House, and how America's political leaders should embrace a politics that serves the interests of all people, not just affluent elites who have separated themselves from the day-to-day struggles and needs of most Americans. This conversation has been edited for clarity and length.
Donald Trump's victory and this current political crisis were decades in the making. This moment is a reflection of serious institutional and structural problems in American society. How do you make sense of it all?
During the 1960s I was part of a generation that benefited from the expansion of American meritocracy. I was one of the first group of students to be admitted to Yale when it was opened up to Jews, admissions was made need-blind, people started getting financial aid and Yale transformed from being just the old boys' network to something a bit more meritocratic and open. The beneficiaries of that in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s would become the lawyers who created and engineered corporate takeovers and ways to fight unions in the South, as well as how to lobby so that regulations would not be passed. That generation also became the bankers who created casino capitalism.
The election of Trump is a kind of revolt against the meritocracy. Consider this: Hillary Clinton is the epitome of the meritocracy. She’s first-generation money. She went to Wellesley and Yale Law School. She’s always prepared. She never shoots from the hip, she seems cool and calculating but always does her homework. Now compare her to Trump. He is a guy who was born with money, went bankrupt six times, always shoots from the hip, takes pride in never, ever being prepared, and is the ultimate freeloader and not a product of the meritocracy.
But the people who were fed up with what this new meritocracy produced said, “What the hell -- let Trump have a shot.”
Trump won every single category of white voters. It wasn’t some cartoon caricature of the "white working class" that the mainstream media likes to paint about the rubes out there in the hinterlands. That narrative about white "economic anxiety" is easier to report on and write about than it is to dig into the real systemic and structural problems in American society.
Anyone running on a Republican ballot is going to have locked in a certain percentage of white upper-class votes. What I think really gets lost in the narrative is that the people who’ve been screwed in this country are the middle class and the poor. But Trump, like George Wallace, was able to turn the middle class against the poor. For example, by saying, "All the problems you’re having are the result of these poor people" -- in his case, immigrants -- "who are getting advantages that you don’t get." But in reality, the middle class and others who are not rich have been screwed over too.
Another dimension to the rise of Trump and his right-wing populism shtick is this sense among his public that there are people -- their social betters and superiors -- who are telling them how to behave and ultimately be better people. This all gets bundled into "political correctness." There is also a sense that some people, those who are not white, are "jumping ahead in line." Trump was skillful in his ability to exploit that anger.
Yes, I think that’s true. I would also add that they are resentful because government doesn’t work for them. Basically democracies work when there is a balance between a competitive marketplace where people can achieve and succeed but also an embrace of the common good where those who don't make [it] to the top in one generation may see their children or grandchildren make it later on. Another part of a functioning and healthy democracy is that those at the top are also, like everyone else, invested in the types of public services that should be available to all citizens.
I think many members of the American public realized that the government is not delivering services to them. They feel this when they or a loved one has to call the Social Security Administration and wait six hours on a phone line or wait a year-and-a-half for an appointment. These things all matter to regular folks, but it doesn't matter to people in Washington. That’s is where the resentment comes from: Stuff doesn’t work. The country isn’t working for people.
In terms of policy, how do we address the social distance between the one percent and other elites -- the "affluent and influential" -- and the rest of the American people? How do we reinvigorate the commons and some sense of a linked destiny?
You have to have political leaders who, instead of playing off the poor against the middle class or using identity politics, basically speak up for the entire 99 percent. And then it becomes unsustainable. At the conclusion of my book, I argue that things are getting so bad that at some point they are going to get good. By this I mean that you’re going to have a kind of Arab Spring in the United States.
At some point, if all the coal miners get a political leader who can channel and communicate their concerns, they will realize that Donald Trump is not an answer to their problems. He didn’t get their jobs back. For example, every month health care costs go up for the average American. This is true even if they have good insurance. After necessary living expenses, non-disposable income in the United States has been going down for decades. Again, that is not sustainable.
Then there are the ways the American taxpayer subsidizes huge corporations such as Walmart. As you know, when a person is hired at Walmart or McDonald's, they are often given information on how to get food stamps and other public assistance. These corporations are able to make huge profits and very often pay little federal income tax because the American people subsidize them. In turn, those same corporations don't pay their employees a living wage.
The minimum wage is below the poverty line. How can our government suggest that an adequate wage keeps you in poverty? Consider housing. We give massive housing subsidies -- hundreds of billions of dollars a year -- to the middle and upper classes in the form of mortgage-interest deductions. That totally dwarfs the amount of money that is spent for assistance to the poor and other vulnerable groups. Yes, the middle class has been squeezed, but the poor have been squeezed even worse. Things have gotten so bad in the country in terms of politics that even good Democratic politicians are afraid to talk about the poor.
What is the role of technology in this story?
Technology has exacerbated polarization and changed our politics, because -- for example though data mining -- politicians can target their exact message to specific audiences, thus validating the latter's prior assumptions. Compare that to how in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, technology was a great unifier for the country. It was a common experience to listen to [Franklin D.] Roosevelt’s fireside chats, for example. In the 1960s, '70s and '80s, television was a common experience too. We all watched the JFK funeral procession together. We watched the moon landing together. We watched reports on the Vietnam War together from Walter Cronkite. It was a unifying experience.
There were problems of course: a small number of large corporations basically controlled the news we saw. But now look at what technology does: It totally splits us up. There is no unifying experience, except maybe watching the Super Bowl.
Too many people get their own news from friends on Facebook, or watch TV news programs that confirm our biases. So we can’t agree on the facts. Almost everybody agreed that Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon because they all watched it together. Now if someone landed on Mars, Infowars would probably be saying it’s a hoax.
You are a child of the working class. Can you share a bit about your life trajectory and how it informs your thinking? One of the complaints in this political moment is that America's elites are "out of touch" with "regular people."
I grew up in Far Rockaway in Queens, and my dad's business was a struggling liquor store. One day when I was 14, I was playing basketball and went up for a rebound, got tangled, landed on my knee and broke it. Why is that important? I had to stay home from Junior High School 198 for a month because they wouldn’t let anyone in with crutches. So while I was staying home, I read a lot of books. One of them was a biography on John Kennedy. It said he’d gone to something called "prep school." I couldn’t figure out what that was. I did a little research and realized that prep school was like college except you got to go earlier -- which sounded like a pretty good idea to me. I applied and got into Deerfield Academy. I then ended up at Yale University. It was all a great thing for me.
But that process of expanding the meritocracy created what is ironically a more entrenched and smarter aristocracy than the one it replaced. It’s more entrenched because all of us who succeeded can afford to send our kids to the best schools and get them SAT tutoring and other types of training, extracurricular activities and the like. Therefore Yale today is economically less diverse that it was 20 years ago. Once you have a meritocracy, then you let in people based on how well they did on the SAT, what kind of schools they come from and how well they did. The parents who are products of the new meritocracy are now able to make sure their kids win that race just the way they did.
What are you worried about in this moment regarding the United States? And what are you happy or more positive about?
Well, if you see the people who are really in the trenches fighting back to improve society you’ll be optimistic. But the truth is, we’re going to go through a lot more pain before we start to turn things around.

This article originally appeared on GearBrain.
[UPDATED] It sounds like a gaming fantasy come true. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are putting drones into virtual reality (VR) spaces, teaching them to avoid barriers while flying fast — but not giving them anything to crash into as they speed.
Researchers were intrigued by drone races of recent years, where pilots fly quad-copters through obstacle courses at speeds of 120 mph and above. In these races, like those flow by the Drone Racing League, people make the decisions on how drones fly. MIT wanted to see if they could train their drones to handle themselves solo and autonomously.
The problem, of course, is that drones flying fast through hurdles, arches and doorways can crash, and then need to be replaced. So researchers wanted to figure out if they could train the drones with fewer crashes, while still giving them complicated courses to fly.
Enter VR. No, drones aren't physically strapping on VR goggles and taking to the air. (Drones don't have eyes.) Instead, researchers are programming the drones so they think they're in a living room or bedroom while they fly. They virtually see obstacles around them, but those impediments aren't really there.
Researchers are testing the new system, and their drones, in a new drone-testing space in Building 31 on MIT's campus, which just underwent a $52 million renovation. During testing, drones are being sent images faster than a human can register and see, at 90 frames per second. (For reference, movies are typically shown (and shot) at 24 frames per second.)
MIT has named its system "Flight Goggles," which is set to be shown at the IEEE's International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Brisbane, Australia this month. From there, after a couple more years of training, researchers hope to enter the drones into one of the competitive drone racing events, to see if a drone, flying solo, can beat any of the human pilots on its own.
