I bought a 13" SurfaceBook 2 with the official Microsoft dock when it came out. I figured buying hardware from the company that makes the software would've given me the best experience.
After beginning to use the machine, I discovered that Microsoft's own dock can't even keep the machine powered under heavy load. The battery was discharging WHILE PLUGGED INTO THE WALL. I had to take breaks so that my computer wouldn't shut down and could recharge.
I had been on Macs for years but decided to give MS a chance because Windows Subsystem for Linux looked pretty awesome. Needless to say, I'm back on a Mac.
Yeah, I've read how experts stated that the point where the dissimilar materials meet would be the most likely location of the failure. Titanium and carbon fiber will certainly behave differently under that pressure.
I think it's far less likely to be the root cause, but I do wonder if the 380mm acrylic viewport had anything to do with the failure. It wasn't rated for anywhere near that depth.
At the meeting Lochridge discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department—the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

Not the same thing, but an older site/service where they would just randomize various automated responses during gaps in the conversation to keep the person on the phone. They have a bunch of recordings.
New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely...

Yeah, I thought that was confusing as well. I'd be shocked if the navy wasn't always recording. If the point of the system is defense, I'm sure it's not down to Frank to flip the switch on when they think there's going to be an attack.
Maybe by "listening" they meant reviewing the recorded data around that time?
I'm guessing it was just a coincidence between the 96 hour mark and when the capable ROVs finally arrived on site. They deployed the ROV that discovered the debris in the early AM today. Based on the fact that info was already leaking prior to the coast guard announcement, it was probably known for several hours before being made public.
Edit: Yeah, they probably had reasonable suspicion that the sub was gone. But until they had evidence, continuing search and rescue seems like the prudent thing to do.
The Navy went back and analyzed its acoustic data after the Titan submersible was reported missing Sunday. That anomaly was ‘consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,’ according to the senior Navy official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive acoustic detection system. The Navy passed on the information to the Coast Guard, which continued its search.
Hmm, wouldn't that be RAID 1? I thought RAID 0 was striping, where if a drive fails you are screwed.
It's probably super unlikely, but I'd still be paranoid about that one day where your external drive is home and something happens (fire, flood, etc).
I did something similar until I went full remote. I just had two externals and would update one before going to work and take the out of date one back home.
Totally understand being distrustful of cloud storage. But there are a lot of great solutions that are end to end encrypted. I've had good luck with https://rclone.org in the past. They support so many cloud services, it's insane. You can set your own encryption key.
