Comment on Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion
buttfarts@lemy.lol 5 weeks agoIt’s not managing life critical functions, that’s a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) for redundancy.
It’s just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.

oh, it doesn’t control ascent and descent, angle of attack, etc? it’s not used to turn or operate the craft, that’s all ‘done by computer’?
pfft.
bluetooth and other wireless interface protocols aren’t meant for life critical applications. give me a hardwired input - even a game controller - any day when it comes to life or death shit.
