Of course there’s a fucking app.
The app instructed me to perform certain actions to calibrate the exoskeleton and determine whether I was operating it correctly. It only let me move on in the setup if I could prove I was operationally proficient.
What’s your problem with the app? It sounds like a legit reason for one. Kinda dumb to just condemn apps regardless of context.
Usually the issue with app dependent products, is that it rely on a fucking cloud connection. That imply that if the cloud service goes down or the company collapse,
yourtheir product become unusable. Yet all corps continue to do it as it is super handy to track their pigeon users. Data can then be sold or used to plot growth curves that gives their CEO an erection.Also it probably requires you to have a google or apple account.
Well that’s a whole load of assumptions based on absolutely nothing…
My point being, the article lists perfectly good reasons for the app to exist, but you’ve made assumptions about it based solely on absolutely no data. What’s the point of linking an article about an unrelated app and company?
Also, as I recall, that 2nd case about the washing machine turned out to be faulty measurements on the router side.
You asked why people are pissed off by apps, here is some reasons. I honestly couldn’t care less for that toy belt.
Calibration needs is not an excuse to give up on privacy.
I wasted my time reading an ad disguised as an article
It’s not reducing the load on the knees at all.
I was really hoping it would help with this since I have a disability that affects the joints in legs and my knees hurt the most from that. So this isn’t really anything too interesting, but still kinda neat.
You lost me with “next level AI”. Pass.
Back when I was ready to graduate college and looking for jobs, I was hoping to get a job with an exoskeleton development company. I really wanted to create Aliens loaders and shit like this. I settled for a job launching rockets.
