Same. Was denied them by parents (probably wisely, I don't judge).
Imagine my disappointment when I could finally buy them with my own money at 17yo, only to find out that models don't exist in anything but smaller kids' sizes.
You need an app to change between walking and running? That’ll be fun when you sprinting and then trip and your feet keep flopping like fish until you turn them off.
I'm curious to see how this develops, like please give me Chel from Portal jump-legs at some stage, please.
But after speaking to physios and doctors and hearing how like just a couple millimeters of difference between your gait positioning or hip flexion while you walk or run over time can lead to major consequences with joint wear or tendon damage (etc)... This feels like it's bound to go wrong with the machine aggressively forcing your knee up and foot down every step.
Lol now corpos are trying to monatize and monopolize walking.
What do they want our bodies and minds so frail using bionics and AI everywhere that without paying a subscription, we literally couldn't leave the house?

I wanted one of those when I was little... (not really) hidden wheels

Someone makes heelies kits! I've seen a clip of a guy that turned cowboy boots into heelies.

I remember when Segway was going to "change human mobility".
Are these to help one jump off a cliff?

No, thanks.
I'll develop my own muscles for free, and avoid the subscription fee, battery charging, replacement after two years, and other such bullshit.
One step closer to a brain in a bucket. Is that what you want to be?

First off, it'd be a jar...

The jar is premium.

It also breaks my workflow. I use OpenBucket and while sometimes leaves fall in, at least the rain keeps me topped up.

Isn’t that their choice to make?

I hope they choose a lightly-rinsed peanut butter container for me.

How much of a stat boost do they provide for the “kick ass and chew bubblegum” category?

This is not going to let me outrun a car and jump a building, does it?
