    Why isn’t Elon swooping in, offering to build a carbon tunnel to the Titanic (“funding secured”) and calling people pedos along the way? Seems like exactly his cup of tea.

      He has done it once and cannot be bothered to do the same things over and over again. Rescuing people is a solved problem after all and there is no more challenge in it.

      NEXT: Hideo Kojima makes a VR Game that realistically simulates what would be to rescue the Titan, however no player managed to succeed yet, as their submersible also gets stuck in the middle of deep sea, thus also prompting a rescue operation.

    One of the most bizarre non-the-onion headlines I have read in a while.

      Steam Deck. Linux. They will need to Bing the correct magic for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, /etc/default/grub, in order to get rid of spurious interrupts.

      Hey the steam controller was kind of a flop but I got one when they went on closeout at like $5 and it’s actually pretty sweet. Very niche but definitely unique.

    Too bad the Titanic is below 3000 Meters, we know he won’t pass 3

    Had no clue Gaben ran anything besides steam, especially not a company like Inkfish. Pretty cool.

      It’s true that after the overhaul about 10 years ago Alvin can dive to nearly twice the Titanic’s depth, but Alvin and Atlantis are in the Pacific Ocean right now

    People, just trust me, Gabe Newell: it’s actually really safe! It’s controlled by a Steam Deck hot wired into a version of Source that runs Half-Life 2 and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines at the same time it controls the sub. Just don’t pick Malkavian on the selection screen, otherwise the lights might flicker, and the sub might malfunction, leaving you stuck deep at sea.

    And it’s also named after GOU Limiting Factor from Iain M. Banks The Culture series!
