#2It's a shame everything used to come with a diagram. Now we resort to CT and x-rays.

#3Remember those translucent DualShock controllers for PS2? There was nothing cooler than watching the little motor spin around when you activated rumble in-game. I'd love if Sony put out a similar style DualSense for PS5.

#5This is definitely cool but if you want a more comprehensive teardown of the NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube controllers, this is the one:

I just love how overbuilt the old controllers are. I still have my original SNES and controllers and as far as I can tell they work as well as the day they were made despite decades of abuse. One has bite marks... not sure if that was the dog or me playing The Lion King.

#6The SNES controller is a beautiful thing because it's literally just a bit shift register wired up to the buttons. Super simple to emulate it, make an adapter for it, or be compatible with it.

#7Does anyone know how accurate these are to the raw data a CT scan produces, it looks really clean, has it been touched up any significant amount or is this actually the quality of the machines?

#8You can do this yourself. Just bring a USB drive to the airport and ask the TSA officer for a copy of the images.

#9DualShock controllers are the best, tactile, haptic feedback and gyroscope
Nintendo's joycons also pretty novel, you just clip them on your console in/out and you unlock new ways to play, OP should have included them too, I'm curious now.. a shame its build quality is one of the worst of this decade
Xbox's one is pretty basic and conservative, wich is a shame..

I've seen slightly better scans from the Lumafield machine I have access to at $DAYJOB, but only slightly better. The scans shown here are very high quality.
You don't get access to raw data, assuming you mean something like individual X-ray images. The service runs the tomography on some cluster in the cloud and you get access to the reconstruction through a web app.
