5 days agoWait, some guys thought there was going to be repeat business selling an undersea cable cutting device and they went to the trouble of patenting it?
How many people are in the business of maliciously cutting these cables indiscriminately, it feels like this device is more of a build it and sell on the shady/black market kind of deal.
What the general public thinks: Car or phone battery.
What the scientists mean: Button cell battery for hearing aids.
Reality: never makes it past the article/news cycle to scalable manufacture.
