Why isn’t Elon swooping in, offering to build a carbon tunnel to the Titanic (“funding secured”) and calling people pedos along the way? Seems like exactly his cup of tea.
I think his days of pretending to be a good guy are over.
So he can just skip the helping part, just start calling people pedos
He’s busy waging a war on trans
Probably he’s still been saying that stuff but not enough ppl are left on Twitter to realize it
He’s too busy making Half-Life 3 instead of saving lives. Let the man cook.
The Limiting Factor is somehow both the nerdiest and coolest name for that submersible.
other submersibles can reach 4k meters. Why they say only gaben?
But the real question is: is it steered by a Steam Controller?
“Great, now that we’re close, use the touch pad to extend the robot arm”
They are doomed.
I wonder what controller his sub uses
Just to defend this as an engineer (though not one that works with submarines in any capacity), using a video game controller might sound funny, but it could actually make sense vs. using a device of your own creation. They’re highly replaceable, so you have an infinite supply of reliable backups to draw upon. It’s not prone to design flaws in the same way a “homemade” controller would be. OTS devices are often designed to withstand certain conditions or modes of use, such as force or moisture or whatever else you anticipate in your environment. They’re also widely used, so there are troves of publicly available information on them to draw upon. It might seem silly, but if I were building a titanic submarine YOLO ship thing, I’d probably use something similar.
Engineer here, I think the issue is that they used a crappy one and wirelessly. I wouldn’t bet my life on bluetooth.
I mean, the controller could even run out of battery or break down without a backup.
Are you sure they didn’t have spares?
$30 Logitechs are awful controllers though.
Ask any serious video gamer and they’ll talk your ear off about highly reliable hall-effect sensor joysticks and other such high-reliability parts (Cherry switches, etc. etc.) that kick the ass of cheap potentiometers + dome-rubber style switches (like found in a cheap-ass Logitech).
And such parts are available at… $50 to $80. Choosing a cheap-ass $30 piece of junk isn’t even saving much money.
Can’t argue with that.
Hey the steam controller was kind of a flop but I got one when they went on closeout at like $5 and it’s actually pretty sweet. Very niche but definitely unique.
