It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

      It could have a button.

      But a button wouldnt give them all the permissions on your phone to harvest your data for sale and exploitation.

      Because once their app is installed on your phone, they can send you push notification ads for their next great shoes.

      It does. The only thing you can’t do is change the lighting color I think

          I just bought a breathalyzer so I can know my BAC when out having a couple at happy hour and be safe to drive home. It works standalone because it has a button and screen, but all over the place it’s like “it has an app!!! It can connect to your phone!!!” who the fuck would ever want to do that?
