    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

        This is the problem.

        People think common sense is “doom and gloom”

            First I thought penis, but then you said “big”.

            Jokes aside, it sucks that you’re stuck in this vicious cycle. Sadly poverty also keeps you from emigrating somewhere better.

          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.
