Will this one also be steered with a gaming controller?
No this one is PC based
Pretty hard to download these mandatory windows updates when youre uner 500m of water.
Don't worry, those PCs are immune to freezing
Plus they're using Linux.
I doubt they will be running Windows in a submarine
Might let all the water in if not closed properly
So HOTAS then?
HOTASBALLS
lmao gottem
Me, laughing at the luxury submarine because its integrated with PCs
Me, nervous about the luxury submarine because I just found out those PCs are running Linux.
I'd be more nervous if it was Windows tbh.
"Now downloading and installing windows 10 11 12 without your knowledge, consent, or acknowledgement"
Or, seeing as it's billionaire bullshit, it will be an ecological disaster. What do you want to offer for the odds that it will have shit navigation, and throws out pings every 3 seconds if submerged? Goodbye local wildlife, recreational diving, and all other activities taking place underwater.
Good point. If any part of a vessel never fully submerges, can it be termed a submarine?
Not really, but it will be good enough to get some affluenza fuck to drop $2bil on it
according to their official page they do have it specced out for 4 weeks of fully submerged operation with a max depth of 250 meters. However, literally none of this is real as it's just a concept model without real engineering or a prototype built, so the chances of it meeting such specs upon delivery of the final product are... whatever the fuck you feel like they are. Anyone can put whatever numbers they want on a concept model, feasibility be damned.
For non military or explorative purposes there is absolutely no reason to go that deep. The "submarine experience" at 50m is the same as at 250m. And it smells terribly, because recycling sweaty air only goes that far.
Calmly explaining this to my crewmates on the Titan
It can be submerged but it can't cruise on batteries for 4 weeks. It'll have to put it's snorkel up.
Perfect. Now I can ignore the article.
