That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the “move fast and break things” nonsense.
Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).
I’ve seen some interesting YT videos about the engineering behind the sub. Turns out, that sub was a ticking time bomb, and many people had warned about it. The controller thing was perfectly fine, but the walls were not.

It’s the teenager that makes it sad.

Using off the shelf consumer electronics in safety critical applications is never OK.
Of course it is. The US Navy uses Xbox controllers for their photonic masts, which we can all agree is pretty safety critical.
