The Titan Submersible was at least a classical feel-good tale of hubris.
This thing is just annoying, who cares.
Imagine you're in a billion dollar machine to go down to the ocean and you buy a third party controller Logitech doesn't even make anymore. I'd barely wanna hand that shit to 2nd player, why cheap out on something so tiny on such an expensive project? I could barely get that controller to work when I had one as a kid, they're pieces of shit. Not like it really matters, but it just shows the level of corner cutting that happened with that submersible. Literally couldn't splurge an extra $10 to get a controller for the ship that doesn't suck total ass.
See that predilection for safety is why you'll never be a randian ubermensch. Kids these days don't understand that innovation means dying in a way multiple experts told you would happen.
