It wasn’t there submersible, their product wasn’t responsible for its destruction and frankly there is very little in the way of public sympathy. The product is not even rated as waterproof and yet it’s survived months at the bottom of the ocean after having survived a destructive implosion. That’s hella marketing.
minus-squaredev_null@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 hours agoThe marketing is more for the submersible camera that survived, just like it was designed to do, the SD card was just inside the camera and no water even touched it. I don’t think the SD card should be getting any credit.

If the Xbox controller had survived I’m sure Microsoft would have made big of that even though it’s basically irrelevant to the product.
