Looking forward to hearing that the arm stops working after company folds and nothing can be done because the software was closed source

And then someone on GitHub develops ‘Arm ReVanced’ which allows the user to shoot electric bolts.

Surely they wouldn’t charge a monthly fee to use something that probably “costs” over $1M. Except car manufacturers do that for stuff that costs $100k so I guess I wouldn’t put it past them

Not everyone lives in a cyberpunk dystopia, there are state funded healthcare systems that mandate long term support for medical devices. Clown emoji yourself, buddy.

Yeah, that one. Definitely wish it was FOSS so these people won’t be dependent on corporate intellectual property existing.

I am looking forward to see the repo man collecting it since it was only a licensed company asset, especially since it is fused with her own tissues.

This is one of the coolest damn things I’ve seen in a while, she’s a true cyborg!

I think the coolest thing is that she has a limited sense of touch.

There’s always lots of jokes about what a shame it is we don’t have the flying cars people dreamed about in the past but if you ask me things like this not being more ubiquitous is the real shame! This is incredible and I hope we see more in this space soon.

This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.

And you forget that in Europe there’s no insurance, but an ACTUAL NHS!
(not to mention that, being a prototype, was probably free)

It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.
