Its not the controller that was the flaw actually (that was a joke), it was the can of pringles they consider a hull :LOL:

Common sense denotes that if the titanic wasn't too heavy to lift from the ocean floor we would have pulled it out of the water for research and touring purposes...imagine how much of a tank the thing is, especially back then compared to now.

Does it look like the S.S. Gamepad should be entering the same territory that took down the god of the sea?...I think not lol.

EDIT:

It seems 100+ yrs and award winning movies later we still can't decide on the exact facts about the titanic...but the general differences are obvious.

I thought the reason we havent raised the titanic is coz it'd rust out faster in the air..?

Actually it seems from a benevolent search of the internet (dare not question it!) that we haven't recovered the titanic because its already rusted so badly that it wouldn't survive the recovery process...that and the quote on quote inhospitable terrain so deep in the ocean...my exact point about the "Jello" Submarine (insert beatles track here) diving to take rich tourists under da sea (man) to visit.

EDIT:

In all reality helix, it was just a joke about the playstation controller flat out or it wouldn't have ended up in the gaming forum...all the other details are better left for facebook and news stations.

I'm no marine archeologist, wouldn't want to claim to be heh. The rest is internet slander, even as close as I try to be factual with information...its still the internet.

EDIT EDIT:

For anyone unaware, there is actually a missing submarine with passengers onboard...they say in good circumstances they should have oxygen till some point tomorrow, although you have to assume their is some panic going on and the timer is a little shorter than that.

Thats not very funny...but the insanity of a rescue operation just because they have money is a little sad in its own way.

Sorry dude, I figured that kind of news was hard to miss...someone had to actually tell me about it personally because I can't stand following the news.

Its all bad news, joke news, and worse news.

Welcome to the generation of Ai, but we can't find a sunken 25 foot can of metal...you can tell we're well prepared.

Its not the world thats scary, its the people in charge of it.

Anyone here still using Windows Phone? Stupid OS even breaks the camera when I use the Official Recovery Software. Never have I had this much problems when I try to install games on a device.
Not anymore although I might honestly still have one around I can tinker with tomorrow, but it wouldn't be in service obviously.

I was more bent on trying to program on mine when I did have them, which contrary to windows continuous promises that you could...was fucking impossible :LOL:

So I never really even used them other than as a plain old phone, particularly not for gaming.

This is all under the assumption you don't mean the nifty rich ppl devices you showed me and you actually mean the old ass phone OS :ROFLMAO:

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I'm guessing from all your video posts that the internet failed you already.

EDIT:

Sink just exploded on me lol...time to get some fucking problems here fixed, I may not have time to dig that phone out tomorrow, maybe I can in a couple days if you really need someone who has a device to help.

Still have my Lumia 950 XL somewhere. The best smartphones ever - Android and iOS are nowhere near, but it's the same as in the 1980s - it wasn't important which are the best, it was important which marketing is the best.
Though, I never had to use ORS so can't help.

I'm tempted to just research your entire life...every time I google something you mention I find either something hilarious or extremely useful. Not "can" , "will"

I also found my devices are shit compared to that and you may be more likely to actually help, I had a few HTC Windows 7/7.5 devices.

I considered buying Lumia 1020 back when it was a thing, but I was (and still is) too stingy. As per "best smartphones" - it's disputable... No matter how good hardware and OS is, if there is very little software for it - it makes smartphone pretty useless. Look at android - OS is pure shit, and most apps are shit too (what else you expected from java), but there is A SHIT TON of said apps, you can find one for whatever you want, and a lot of them are free (or at least cheap) too. That's what made this shit successful. How they achieved it? Well, when you have biggest search engine - advertising should not be that hard, amiright?

As for being "Camera phone", the stupid camera just break when I used the official firmware and the official recovery tool. Many people have this problem too. 😤

I would think the answer is much more simple than that...the competition was a locked down apple with mostly paid apps unless you really knew what you were doing, and well...Windows at the time, which was a sad first attempt at a fucking piece of mixed desktop and cell phone god forsaken garbage that accomplished neither aspect and failed utterly (at least up to 7.5)...yet they're still trying to do it lol.

maybe due to end of support? Even the latest versions are past the lifecycle for mobile.

The answer may be an 'unofficial' recovery tbh.

EDIT:

I've never used it myself, so I'm just guessing in the wind here. I know some androids download the firmware online, i'm not sure if Windows does the same.

That's why I mentioned 80's computers. There were better 8-bit and 16-bit devices but those with the best marketing attracted more software and game developers.

An look where that got us...dell, windows, joy 😒

Actually though, there may have been better hardware (even before my time) but IBM was the first major computer retailer I remember...and those sort of just fell into homes at first almost by word of mouth and the spread of the internet when it became more than text.

The way I 'personally' remember it was the internet was the bug that people caught and IBM just happened to be there selling computers at the time, unfortunately right after gates run and gun, then came dell (the evil twin of IBM) with all the advertising...and that was where the real spiral began.

Again, I do know of the earlier machines...but not enough to speak about how things might have turned out. IBM was just interested in what the consumer actually wanted.

Someone I know is actually a sort of legend among their staff (or was when they did home PCs), they knew them by their internet name alone all through the company to the point it was unreal...and that was just from being active in their message boards and gathering people to have them bring back a certain style to the desktops :LOL:

Nah pure incompetence.
Wow...nice. I'm glad I tried to help...carry on with your failed attempts then.

I'm sure if I had the device in my hand the problem would already be fixed or I would at least know the problem couldn't be fixed rather than bumbling around a gaming forum of all places for help.

Try toms hardware...actually don't, they might laugh you off the site lol.

I already knew this charade was coming, so carry on...sorry for making you look stupid before el-alt-o

P.S. Your getting sloppy, I saw you coming a mile away.
