We’re this much closer to The Addams Family
I want to see a rocket fist
Great, now my hands can get hacked.
Or become a dead weight, when the manufacturer stops supporting it
Or hack them yourself and become a keyboard and mouse gaming god
I wounded if working people will be able to afford this… Given the amount of amputee veterans who lost limbs and veteran suicide rate…me thinks not… But sure it seems pretty nifty…just swell
It’s also a massive risk when even the advanced ones have a high rejection rate of around 44% that’s never talked about, and don’t have nearly as much fine control as the media makes them out to be on top of being uncomfortably heavy for some people. While some do like them, a lot wind up preferring simpler ones or none at all.
Those articles hit close to home as someone hard of hearing. So much of disability activism is trying to get able people to respect what is comfortable for us to do rather than what is comfortable for able bystanders to see us do.
Like assistive devices are awesome, but they exist for the people they are used by. We consistently want comfortable independent function without being othered for it. Some will prefer subtle devices, others will ask for a fully controllable rgb option on devices that could be hidden easily.
Off the main topic of the article here, but that was a roller coaster of thoughts for me with the Title and the link thumbnail-
Kinda looks like Drew Berrymore in the thumbnail, so “Bionic Girl Debuts…” oh cool, new movie—-wait, Drew lost her arms and now has prosthetics? Opened the article……Ohhh…
I had the same serious of thoughts, but also thought it said “blonde girl” and so wasn’t as excited for the movie.
I bet if we all try we can remember the name Tilley Lockey because it’s a pretty badass name and arguably cooler than bionic girl
All fun and games til her arm gets hacked lol
Damn, if she has any tech-savvy siblings, this would introduce a whole new level of “why are you hitting yourself”
Is this the same girl we’ve been seen pictures of since she was a little kid? She’s probably so used to it by now it’s second nature. Though at first I thought it was Drew Barrymore from the thumbnail
Jenny Silverhand
That’s unfair 😡
The flesh is weak.
Now with 100% more grip strength.Stories like this is all informal thought about watching one of the new episodes of Black Mirror. To bend your elbow past 90 degrees or raise it above your head, please upgrade your subscription plan. Not saying anything based off the article its just a gut feeling some of these soon to be real medical advances are going to allow our already scum bag ran Healthcare system to exploit impaired patients and their dependency of a tech device.
Wild man. I was a little put off on how the lady was cutting a tomato while wearing it (it’s an embedded promo clip for the Hero Pro).
She was holding the knife backwards and it just looked really weird, but then I realized she might not have had hands her entire life so she never learned the proper way to do it.
That’s probably just to compensate for grip strength or range of motion with the knife.
By backwards do you mean point near the elbow? If so you can get more leverage that way.
