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, ~~your~~ their 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.

Could be done with a button

How would a button give you instructions and feedback...?

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Instructions: paper

Feedback: green light, yellow light, red light.

too analog for those gen-z and younger folks...

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Only because the older folks keep pushing for apps and such by setting the example. If an analog option isn't even discussed, the younger generation definitely won't know how much simpler certain processes can be.

A single calibration button?

It's not reducing the load on the knees at all.

After my back, my knees are the most fucked, followed closely by my shoulders and then hands.

Unless these things can take all or most off the strain off of my broken bits....not fucking interested.

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.
