You are adding more leverage to an already lovely control point, why? The detection is already poo poo for the given degree of motion and you are adding more?

You just pissed me off even more, there are two potentially wireless keyboards and that loving controller. My 2023 Logitech wireless mouse goes from 60fps to 5fps when I turn my headphones on, this is just unbelievable. Completely infuriating that it even exists/existed, no sane person would get in there, see all that poo poo, and commit to the “mission”.

Once you're in international waters you are your own ruler, with laws just a distance memory for those still foolishly clinging to land and the old ways!!!

I would never wish this scenario on anyone in the world, it’s horrifying. I hope for the best. But good lord, if they find this thing on the surface and rescue, it may turn out that the owner was the sole casualty with various blunt force traumas that are keyboard and gamepad shaped.

I briefly owned that controller. I couldn't trust it with Mario's life, let alone my own, as it kept dropping its connection. Returned it for an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+, much better.

People like this guy don't actually get to "fail" like normal people because they have the money to burn until they get what they want, or they can just walk away from their mistakes and start again. Add to that no one around them says NO to their stupid ideas and....

Of course if you turn yourself inside out 3000m under the ocean that all ends fast.

Well, I mean... there is, but he just chose to ignore all the regulatory bodies because they just didn't understand his innovative design and wouldn't have approved it. No, literally. That was a quote he gave to the journalistic equivalent of a handjob he got a while back. Beyond building a fence around all shores I don't know what they could realistically do to stop him.

I wonder how detectable an implosion would be.

Like are there navy subs tooling around who heard it but didn't have reason to think anything of it.

Or the SOSUS guys heard it but have a strict 'Nothing that reveals our capabilities' policy and are keeping quiet for now.

IIRC that's how they originally found the Titanic. It was discovered during some expedition in the 70s and they kept it hush hush for a while and then later tipped of researchers where to look.

From what I think I heard during the press conference, an implosion would have been very detectable via sonar buoys but I don’t know much about water science. Here’s that:
