I believe it's the lost submarine that's gone to the Titanic. The controller in the image is what's used to control the submarine.
Aha. I thought it was a video game controller.
that's the joke/problem
A lot of US military equipment runs on Windows and has tight integration with xbox controllers. They can be found inside nuclear submarines and controlling drones. The ones the military uses are wired. Here you have a controller running on batteries and communicating through Bluetooth, which famously works perfectly in harsh conditions and under water.
It IS a video game controller. They used a super cheap Logitech controller to control the submarine.
Yikes. That’s distressing
Guess they forgot to reverse the Y axis setting, fucks me up everytime on a new ga...(checks notes) incredibly dangerous and barely tested hacked together tube of death?
Thise cheap bastards should have paid for the Xbox controllers like the US Navy.
Damn, bit too soon?
people get incredibly dismissive when millionaires are involved
Good. Deserved.
It would be, if not for the fact that this was entirely predictable and irresponsible.
