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
When did he start? Because I haven’t noticed
There’s a great punchline about boys hidden somewhere in there.
Probably he’s still been saying that stuff but not enough ppl are left on Twitter to realize it
He has done it once and cannot be bothered to do the same things over and over again. Rescuing people is a solved problem after all and there is no more challenge in it.
One of the most bizarre non-the-onion headlines I have read in a while.
It really is
Hey, it exists! (/c/nottheonion@lemmy.world)
I can’t post under : @millions@kbin.social so this is my reply to his question to you … !nottheonion@lemmy.world exists since 7 days (or more : it’s 1st post is 7 days old)
These links open in the internal browser in Jerboa, so annoying
if there is a better way, tell me please
Just open like all other subs
what do you mean ?
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.
Steam Deck. Linux. They will need to Bing the correct magic for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, /etc/default/grub, in order to get rid of spurious interrupts.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
If it’s a steam controller we’re in real trouble 😂
They’re making a new one and calling it the “Steam Quarter-Deck”

Is it time again to start praying to Lord Gaben?
Are you ready for a miracle?
Had no clue Gaben ran anything besides steam, especially not a company like Inkfish. Pretty cool.
Too bad the Titanic is below 3000 Meters, we know he won’t pass 3
Please tell me this site is a joke
This site is not a joke, and nor is the headline.
Gaben pls
sadly GabeN can only count up to 2
Rescue operation will happen on Valve Time.
People, just trust me, Gabe Newell: it’s actually really safe! It’s controlled by a Steam Deck hot wired into a version of Source that runs Half-Life 2 and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines at the same time it controls the sub. Just don’t pick Malkavian on the selection screen, otherwise the lights might flicker, and the sub might malfunction, leaving you stuck deep at sea.
What happened to James Cameron’s stuff?
Deepsea Challenger isn’t operational. It’s a decade old and in a museum right now.
It belongs in a museum!
- Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.*

Just don’t expect him to make a 3rd submarine guys
Half Life 3? … More like Zero Life 5 I’m afraid.
Crazy to think about these guys sitting in a big tube 4km under water right now with no connection to the outside world.
other submersibles can reach 4k meters. Why they say only gaben?
Gabe uses a Steam Deck for the controls instead of that cheap Logitech model. Much more reliable.
He’s too busy making Half-Life 3 instead of saving lives. Let the man cook.
