Seagate's in a great position to bounce back if they can christen a new-and-improved vessel and charge tourists to see the wreckage of the Titan. They can call it Titan: The Sequel edit: whoops Seagate makes hard drives, not subs (though I'm sure they'd do a better job)

MiracleFlare posted:Again I don't think it's necessary to link to Oil London's Twitter, where he's also advertising his upcoming book about how transitioning is child abuse. Like I get that it's a very concise explanation of how an implosion would kill someone so fast they'd never even notice it, but maybe just copy and paraphrase it like you're copying someone's homework? i'm pretty sure most people don't know who the gently caress he is, i certainly don't, and they simply linked to it without knowing that he sucked

I should also add that this is in line with the support vessel's crew behavior prior. When they lost the sub for five hours during the CBS report they cut internet access to the ship to keep the CBS reporter from tweeting out for help to the outside world. Covering up catastrophes is part of their standards of operation apparently. Archonex fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jun 22, 2023 |

Trixie Hardcore posted:It sounds like a really rich guy realized there was a limited amount of time before the Titanic wreck had degraded too much for him to bilk billionaires out of their money to see it, and he completely underestimated how expensive and complicated deep sea tourism was so he tried to fake it to make it by building a cheap sub and hoped everything would work out for him. Everything worked in to him instead.

Why would you use a lovely logitech bluetooth controller instead of just using a regular old USB one with a cable? I've had that logitech controller and it sucked, it frequently disconnected and I got so frustrated with it that I threw it in the trash.

Kamrat posted:Why would you use a lovely logitech bluetooth controller instead of just using a regular old USB one with a cable? in one of the videos the CEO explains excitedly that it's so you can toss it around in the cabin and let any of the passengers drive it. In the same video he alleges that there were in fact spares on board, so there's that. But in the best of times when everything was working swimmingly, are we to understand that random rich people get to pilot the death tube around the historic wreckage? What keeps them from bumping into the Titanic and damaging the ship? It is a delicate and rapidly deteriorating artifact.

Everyone keeps being all, "guys the controller isn't the issue, lots of things use controllers" but my problem is with that specific controller, which sucked so bad for playing video games that I bought a new one within months. Maybe I'm missing something and they're using a bluetooth version that sucks less, but mine used a USB dongle and lost connection every time I accidentally sat in a way that put my leg between the controller and the computer.

nothing. they have some sort of honor code among them as 'sailors' not to disturb the wreckage as it is a gravesite. really the code is to disturb it as little as possible. people have bumped into the ship. Some people brought back artifacts.

The Bananana posted:I... As soon as the structure starts to fail, it happens so quickly that peak pressure is hit 0.7 ms later. The pressure spike is over just 0.2 ms later The whole implosion takes 0.9 ms. The interior volume is about 1200 cubic feet, which is equalized to that enormous pressure in under a thousandth of a second. It's really hard to conceive!

the implosion they heard could've been a diversion, while they pillaged and plundered the wreck and got away scott-free. the investigation was necessary.
