    I mean, unless that controller is what caused this incident I don’t see how that’s anything other than a cheap shot at the company behind this debacle. Not that they and their submarine aren’t sketchy for plenty of other reasons, but “they used common off-the-shelf tech for part of their thing!” shouldn’t alarm anyone. It’s such common practice across the scientific, military, and tech communities to use commercial off-the-shelf solutions when it makes sense to do so, because why would you reinvent something like the computer mouse if you don’t have to?
