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.

Any then google buys it just to soft-lock any users who aren't using the ChromeLimb137-c.

"Unlimited powwa"

-ironically, the only villain in the movie without prosthetics

Prosthetic arm permanently disabled, you didn't renew your glove subscription.

+2 grip for only 3.99/mo!

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

Can we have one positive news article without the gloom and doom, please?

Nooo dont mention inevitable outcomes butterflies and rainbows only please 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

olay maybe this will dox me so ill be very General

I am missing a limb, a very important and Big one

and the only way i can keep my healthcare is if i stay in poverty

so if i make money, i cant get no more help with my prosthetics, and then cant work, so end up again in poverty

guess where i live guys

I am missing a limb, a very important and Big one

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.

" My country is perfect and my existence is the center of the world so dont talk about your cyberpunk dystopia scenarios if I am around, you peasants " 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Looking forward? Maybe you mean expecting

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.
