It continues to amaze me how indestructible SDCards are.
- imploded_sub 1y agoIt wasn't in the crushed part, it was in the camera's shell, and the camera was mounted outside, if I understood properly.
- netsharc 1y agoAnd: > This still and video camera is rated to withstand depths up to 6,000m (19,685 feet, 3,281 fathoms) Unlike the Titan sub...
- mrguyorama 1y agoWhy didn't they just build the sub out of camera enclosures? /s
- 3eb7988a1663 1y agoThe picture looks like the camera + storage SD card were in a sealed metal tube that was untouched.
- daemonologist 1y agoAlthough the entire enclosure was shaken around enough to tear bits off the PCB via sheer inertia and crack the CPU (hence the need for the recovery process described).
- HPsquared 1y agoIt clearly received a nasty shock when the sub imploded; that's why the internal components were so broken.
- gompertz 1y agoIt also amazes me how incredibly unbrowseable tomshardware is now with all the ads and pop-ups.
- haunter 1y agoIt also amazes me that people are using the internet w/o an adblocker in the year 2025
- bookofjoe 1y agoI think you mean HN readers.
- Gigachad 1y agoI haven’t bothered working out how to install one on mobile. I just don’t visit websites with shitty ads.
- squigz 1y agoFirefox on mobile supports uBlock Origin
- firesteelrain 1y agoOn iOS, every browser is required by Apple to use WebKit. I just tried it again myself and FireFox on iPhone has no ublock Origin add on possibility. Firefox Focus does work as an alternative. Apple created a special system-level API for Safari Content Blockers. Apps like Firefox Focus, AdGuard, 1Blocker, Wipr can register filtering rules with Safari using this API. That’s why Focus can block ads/trackers inside Safari if you enable it under Safari

- hexagonwin 1y agouse orion browser? or ubo lite on safari
- scrollaway 1y ago> On iOS, every browser is required by Apple to use WebKit Didn’t this change recently?
- gruez 1y agoIt's a solid piece of silicon encased in epoxy, so there's nothing really to get crushed. Contrast this to something like a cellphone that's made of hundreds of separate parts and has void space that will get crushed.
- amelius 1y agoWhy isn't a cellphone filled with epoxy?
- bell-cot 1y agoThat would be a problem for the mic and speaker, and has relatively few use cases.
- tom_alexander 1y agoHow would you do screen replacement? That is a common repair since people drop their phones and currently you can get your phone repaired by some teenager in a booth at the mall. If you fill the phone with epoxy, how are you detaching the screen, and getting a new ribbon cable through the epoxy?
- throwaway173738 1y agouse pogo pins or a board to board connector
- bluGill 1y agoWhich means air space that can get crushed. Either the phone is solid or it isn't.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Which means air space that can get crushed Would note that air isn't the only substance in a phone that compresses under 38 MPa. (Batteries come to mind.)
- stefan_ 1y agoThe SDCard that was in another sub, properly constructed from titanium not carbon. The sub housed a camera, no humans.
- userbinator 1y agoHeat and wear are the greatest dangers to flash memory, and this was found in a cold dark place, with presumably plenty of life remaining.
- reaperducer 1y agoIt continues to amaze me how indestructible SDCards are. Until they're sold as supplemental hard drives (cough Transcend Jetdrive cough). Then they'll fail if you even look at them strangely.
- Gigachad 1y agoPut one in a Raspberry pi and it will be dead in a month.
- foobarian 1y agoremember the noatime mount option for the root fs!
- robinsonb5 1y agoA month? Those are rookie numbers! Write an image to a smallish SD card using dd (to remove most of the blocks from wear-levelling circulation), mount without -noatime, and you should be able to get the lifespan down to a few hours!
