Well, the ship analogy doesn't really hold up. If we draw a parallel with existing maritime ships, they can sustain their rated top speed when necessary. However, this is rarely done primarily due to fuel efficiency. Since there are diminishing returns to pushing speed, it’s only done under serious time constraints.

IMO, that's the wrong direction. The right direction is to apply some good CRT shaders. Those games were designed for CRT and low resolutions and they can never look great when rendered at higher res. Upscaling works much better for PS2 generation and up.
It's spherical!
But then it would just all be Linux? Was that what you were trying to say?
Even if it's not battery powered, I personally would be conscious of the energy inefficiency. But I would be fine with it going to sleep. I suppose it should also be possible to automatically wake it up if a person approaches, using a motion sensor.
What's the power consumption on that? Does the screen go to sleep?
Is that the one Marty got at the end of BTTF? Although I think his truck looked more square-ish.
Obligatory "um, akhtually, it's magma".
Are there actually people complaining that she's ugly..? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.
It's a fork of Greek temple.
I know why ships have max speed, I have a bachelor's degree in maritime navigation.
But also, I honestly don't see how this comment is relevant to the subject. Yes, modern ships are faster than older ships. But they still usually run at half speed or less.
