The sub went missing while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic.

      Well yes, if they use something in a way specifically contraindicated by the nature of the technology then that’s problematic.
      Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the “no shit sherlock” zone for an easy win?

        Don’t put on me your burden of proof.

        Well, turns out they did. So now that we have established that they don’t follow protocol, are you going to show us their design or are you going to reddit your way out of this conversation?

          Source that they did? I’ve seen nothing to support that to date.

          or are you going to reddit your way out of this conversation?
          Wtf? Was that an attempt at condescension?

            That’s exactly my point, no one here has any source about the design. Why don’t YOU ask the people above about THEIR source?

            Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the “no shit sherlock” zone for an easy win?

            Don’t act surprised when I answer you the same way you answer me. Now either you bring some source to support the question that was made by someone above you or I’m done. I’m not your source magic machine.

            The person who started this chain of conversation is gone btw. I don’t know the point you are trying to make.

              The guy above is correct, altitude has no effect on the BT transmission. You can assume they used the tech in a way it can’t (or nearly can’t) be used if you want, I guess. I’m not going to go and prove that they didn’t because that was your assertion, not mine. The vessel had many successful dives before this happened, so logic would dictate that the wireless implementation was working.

                I never said otherwise and we both know it.

                I’m not gonna play the reddit game with you. I have no burden of proof. Find another strawman to play with.

                The designer is dead.

                  The designer is dead so the wireless didn’t work?

                  Does that count as a coherent argument to you? I wouldn’t make fun of redditors if you can’t make a better argument than that…

                    The people who trusted the guy are dead. You take his logic as gospel, good for you.

                    Now I got from other sources that the wifi was commanding the propeller. Meaning that yes, the wifi signal was supposed to travel through the water.

                    No either you have something of value to the discussion and you post it, or you don’t post and we’re done.

      If you want to command something in the water, you run a wire from that something to a receiver in the cabin.

        Right, exactly. Or for a “sub” that only holds 5 people… maybe just spend the 10 cents and wire it lol.

          I mean, the sub had reached Titanic several times, right?

          So even without the design documents, we know it was previously capable of operating at depth.

          Which we means we know the hull wasn’t made of cotton candy, we know it wasn’t propelled under water by an internal combustion engine, and we know it wasn’t controlled by a device that stops working in water.
