Oh man Titan AE was how I discovered Lit, was really into them back then. Still love Over my HeaD!

I believe theyre referring to the usual two-finger-fuck-you. As in v for victory.

If you take that same sign and press it to your lips you get a gesture recognised as "eating pussy" when accompanied by some tongue action through the V of your fingers.

Woops! You forgot the /s again

Unless that's just the nearest analog they had to describe the relationship?

Europe has 10 sq km. Let's not compare pommes to oranges.

And you do realise that a people do not automatically revert to the state they were in the last time they were independent, right?

If Scotland were to gain independence I highly doubt they'd revert to their 17th Century feudal state.

What happened to Xitter being a paragon of free speech? You can't even say "twitter.com" without them censoring you.

How unfortunate they can't deal with the spam bots quite so effectively.

Maybe they're on the lookout for the Goa'uld. Never can be too sure.

Thank you

Look I get it, you want to argue about the cause. You go ahead and do that...but I'm here discussing the merits of inference in order to make judgements that may well affect longevity.

Good day.

And?

The discussion is around what the controller tells us about the approach to the design and development of the vehicle.

The fact that there are people readily defending the use of an entertainment controller to navigate at the limit of human endeavour tells me how they managed to find people to sign up for this death ride.

Hundreds of millions of people is likely an overestimate given the PS5 has sold only 50m and while there are likely sometimes multiple users per device, and likely some PC users, it's unlikely there are anywhere near 200m. Additionally most of these users will be using Sony controllers - which I believe was not the case here.

Further: all of those users are not expecting to rely on this device for their personal safety and continued existance.

So just in the same way I don't use a straw for breathing underwater, I also don't get on deep sea submersibles controlled by a PlayStation controller that, at the point of design and manufacture, did not have life support anywhere near its specification.

So to answer your question - no, an imaginary "hundreds of millions" of users using a device for an entirely different purpose is certainly NOT enough for me to entrust my life to. But that's just me - you feel free to do you.

In this context it absolutely is a life support device - if it fails, the occupants are dead.

Do you have any other examples of a time where such a device is used in such circumstances?

The best anology I can think of is planes, and none of them are using entertainment input devices AFAIK?

As a scuba diver I have a buoyancy control device, which I am totally reliant on for life and thus I take 2. Did they even take spares with them? If they did then i can see this being a legit way of being safe.

Not taking it as being mean - its an interesting conversation, hopefully you feel the same.

Well you're clearly better informed about the status of the sub than i, but I'm just saying it's unusual for a life support device to be something not designed for such a purpose.

Sure...where the failure of the device does not lead to inevitable death.

In a situation where my life is 100% dependent on a device, said device must have gone through appropriate design and testing procedures.

Exactly

Why? You only have checks notes the majority of the world's population.

Such a shame your billionaires aren't friendly

True...and you don't need to live in a house, or use the Internet, or have a bank account, or have a computer/mobile...all things that have caused catastrophic damage to the environment and killed countless animals.

One has to draw a line somewhere- perhaps you shouldn't be holier than though just because you draw the line at "I don't want to see the evidence of the death"

Sound quality is sufficiently indistinguishable in quality for me, battery lasts way longer than I need, more comfortable because I don't have a cable being snagged on things, never dropped or lost them, and if you can't see my over-ear headphones then no wire is going to help you.

Additionally I can connect to multiple devices (computer and mobile) and I can get up and walk around as I need and not lose audio.
