That is surely good for mission-critical equipment that lives depend on. You can see the controller in this video. It communicates over Bluetooth and features 3D‐printed thumbstick extensions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClkytJa0ghc

Of course, even if it surfaced they're sealed in from the outside in an airtight vessel with McSpanky fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 19, 2023 |

DurianGray posted:Even if it had a transponder, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference since I doubt there are any rescue subs that could get down to it in time (if any exist in the first place). I saw one article saying it's supposed to automatically surface if something goes wrong, but I'm guessing that didn't happen (and a transponder would help if it actually did surface). If it lost power, the ballast automatically drops. They rise to surface. If something else non-catastrophic happened, they could manually trigger it. They rise to surface. The fact they're not on the surface strongly suggests something quick and lethal like an implosion.

Dude, Where's My Lol at using a Bluetooth controller. Surely hardwired is the better option. (e:fb) Also having no means of opening from the inside. Like not even an emergency option? Grim Lol

ilmucche posted:They sealed them in from the outside?? From the CBS article, "The crew closes the hatch, from the outside, with 17 bolts. There's no other way out." The other article claims they have extended provisions to sustain the crew for a rescue, but considering their sole comms tech was freaking text messages and there's no backups/emergency transponder, I don't think their claims of adequate emergency preparedness are holding water.

Maybe it's all a hoax to get more people to sign up for this. "Our sub is lost! Oh, no it isn't, we just wanted publicity! Come ride our sub!"

I don't wish any adventurers death on their journeys, but do people actually give enough of a poo poo about the Titanic to go look at it? I've seen the videos over the credits of Titanic (not really, but the point stands) You can't even plant a flag or do whatever they do on Everest

You could argue it’d be cool to see the wreck in situ Thankfully they just released a giant 3d scan of the wreck last month so you can do so from the comfort of your home instead of a tin can death trap

the navy does use xbox controllers but they just use it for periscopes and non-critical things and they are hardwired https://www.cnet.com/science/us-navy-launches-submarine-maneuvered-by-xbox-controller/ quote:The controller operates two photonics masts. These are the successors to the periscopes you might be familiar with in old war movies. The masts house visible and infrared digital cameras on top of telescoping arms.

What are we even doing here? The sub has a single porthole window and god only knows how thick that fucker has to be to survive at depth. Just wire a monitor in front of that fucker and tool around for 12 hours at 30 feet while playing a video of a robot dive.

Deptfordx posted:Apparently they lost contact with the sub yesterday 1h:45m's into the dive. It says it can be submerged for up to 96 hours. It also says it is about the size of a minivan inside, which sounds comfy. It is not.  Even if they are on the surface and perfectly fine, they are still trapped all scrunched up. Can't lie down. Can't even stretch out your legs. People complain about airplane seats being uncomfortable and long flights being a hazard for throwing clots, imagine not being able to stand up nor lie down to stretch your legs for days -- literally torture.

Honestly, if I'm an aging billionaire, $250,000 for an instantaneous, pain-free epic death is a decent bargain. I wonder if life insurance pays out on something this frivolous and dumb.
