		pinkmuffinere 30 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found ... I know the default policy is to use the source headline, but I feel the mention of $62 is kindof unfair. It evokes cheapness. Many many aspects of the craft were cheap and underbuilt, but it’s not clear to me that the memory card was one of those areas. Seems like it was an actually useful COTS part

Yeah, and the title doesn't mention that is for a camera either.

This seems perfectly reasonable for camera data storage, and apparently a camera that's manually operated as well.

It'd be worrying if it was storing the binaries to operate the sub, but this is a decent quality SD card for camera storage.
