A lot of tedious people in here gatekeeping the submarine making market.

Forgive me if this is a really dumb question but why dont commercial subermersibles have a giant loving beacon on it that broadcasts their location? Idk some sonar ping or something.

qhat posted:In that sense yes you could probably make a simple rugged system which has firmware which is specifically programmed to only read/write the HID protocol and convert it to some whatever signal, and have that replaceable, I doubt it would be a spacious system. The wireless is more concerning, more because this guy seems like he's the type of guy whose idea of a rugged DAC is a raspberry pi that he put together one day because it comes with a wifi receiver. Ha, it would need a USB port too, the F750 only talks to its own dedicated wifi receiver.

Idk some sonar ping or something. You could put one on but it would require power to operate, especially if you want it to go a long way and the submarine is operating on batteries, that could be an issue. If you don't want to run on batteries you need an actual engine to generate electricity, and then you're looking at building a full diesel electric system or a miniature nuclear submarine and in this case that probably means you're fumigating the cabin with diesel exhaust or everyone's coming back glowing.

qhat posted:Even if it's wired, an xbox controller isn't an analog device, it's digital. You can't just feed an xbox controller into a system of hydraulics and have them react to it, it needs to be electrically powered and for the signals it generates to be interpreted by a computer. If your computer dies and it can't be replaced, then the sub dies and there's nothing you can do about it even if the engine is top quality and still running. Disclaimer: I have no idea about how this sub works, I assume they thought of that, but lmao if they didn't. Most of the poo poo I've learned about this sub shocks me and I was already expecting these private industry dipshits to be on the creatively libertine end of, shall we say, groversub

How does this keep happening? S4C apologises for mixing up rappers Sage Todz and Mace the Great quote:Welsh-language channel S4C has apologised for a "serious mistake" after an afternoon programme confused one rapper with another. You can image search if you want but they don't look like each other. You'd think these days it wouldn't happen but it's happened far too often. The BBC have mixed up Ellis Genge and Lewis Ludlam on a few occasions, I don't know how. You also had that idiot Gavin Williamson mixing up Marcus Rashford with Maro Itoji, how the hell you mix those two up I'll never know (I know it's racism.)

The facinating thing about the billionaire death trap submarine is that its so clearly a really loving bad idea to get in it its amazing that people apparently clever and ruthless enough to be billionaires fell for it. Like they just said 'yeah it's unsafe and untested, but boy is it disruptive to the maritime safety industry, now sign this waver that says we're not legaly liable if you die please and we'll bolt you in' Nobody thought that maybe, just maybe following established safety practices and testing mught be more valuable than pushing the envelope on home made submarine design when you're going on a trip to the bottom of the sea. Its breathtaking.

If you're a billionaire there is pretty much nothing on planet earth save Vladimir Putin that could pose a threat to you. The only way forward from that point is stagnation and eventually utter obliteration. These folks chose the latter.

There’s a fun bit on their website where they talk about “Maritime safety inspections are not worth it because most accidents come from operator error “, which is an excellent example of that “fighter aircraft which flew home damage locations” fallacy. Most accidents are operator error BECAUSE the subs have generally been checked by someone reputable to be seaworthy

The submersible death is just the aquatic equivalent of the more common helicopter death. Deep down these oligarchs know that their existence is an abomination and they seek annihilation

They narrative seems to have changed. That actually the sub most likely imploded the second they lost it. Which is a less good news story but probably preferable for those involved.

There's an actual no poo poo commercially produce mini-sub for sale that can reach the titanic and get this - you sit in a transparent acrylic sphere. The same company makes vessels that have gone to the bottom of the Marianas trench (and come back up again). I bet a tiny porthole, a poop bucket and the BO of 3 other humans in close proximity is preferable though.

 That's not a very big piss reservoir, but I guess it's going to be drunk very quickly if they are still alive, as they have no food or water onboard.
