Sure, because this does not happen in commercial aircrafts.
This is part of my ongoing campaign to resist the constant attempts to make "aircrafts" the plural of "aircraft". Thanks for your time!

It's not a bluetooth based, it has a receiver that you plug to the computer.
Have you seen the bit where they cant get the 2005 logitech controller to re-pair over 2.5ghz? Or when there was a mapping issue with the driver stack so they were stuck on one trip spinning around in circles before having to use the controller backwards to finish the trip?
One shall not obsess with the game controller they use, I suppose, in their analysis, failing the controller wouldn't prevent the sub from resurfacing... It is symptomatic, however. The whole Silicon Valley is like that. You have the old guard, NASA, millions for fault analysis, rumors go the C code on some NASA rocket was certified at $1000 per line---human eyeballs reading it... All those start-ups and unicorns, th…
I'm really frustrated by anyone that poo-poos this specific issue. One shall absolutely fucking obsess, me for instance about the game controller they used. Look at this. https://i.imgur.com/FrdR7TP.png So the F710 Logitech gamepad was something I wouldn't even trust as a teenager to let me play emulated retro games accurately. It has a hardware switch to toggle between DirectInput (an ancient input technology within…

The controller itself is probably reliable enough, like any cheap keyboard on amazon. I wouldn't want my life to rely on bluetooth though.
If there’s one place I’d bet my life on Bluetooth it’s at the bottom of the ocean with absolutely no other signals of any kind

What is the correct plural of "aircraft"? Genuine question as I'm not English native speaker.

Do you _know_ they had spare controllers?
Yes. In a 2022 interview with CBC, Rush added the Bluetooth game controllers were durable — “it’s meant for a 16 year old to throw it around,” he said, tossing the controller to the floor — and that they kept spares on board “just in case.” https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2023/06/20/video-game-co... Also, the controllers appear to be only to control the periscope. Which is not a critical component of this submari…
But he also mentioned a touch screen when talking about the controller so I bet that they can use the touchscreen to control the submarine as well.
Still most likely cause of failure is that the viewport failed and they died immediately.

Well yes, and this enables making all the stuff that we have now like Google, YouTube or ChatGPT. If those things were developed with NASA approach to code quality, we might never have had them.

He is not selling the trips they are paying to be crew. This is such a needless story.
Recklessly killing your workers is even worse.
