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.
  
  Drink your verification can or watch 20 ads to continue masturbating.
  
  +2 grip for only 3.99/mo!
- Can we have one positive news article without the gloom and doom, please?
  
  This is the problem.
  
  People think common sense is "doom and gloom"
  
  In this economy?
  
  Nooo dont mention inevitable outcomes butterflies and rainbows only please 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
- 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.
This is one of the coolest damn things I've seen in a while, she's a true cyborg!

I think the coolest thing is that she has a limited sense of touch.
- There's always lots of jokes about what a shame it is we don't have the flying cars people dreamed about in the past but if you ask me things like this not being more ubiquitous is the real shame! This is incredible and I hope we see more in this space soon.
  
  Totally agree, this makes a lot more difference than all the stuff they predicted in to 40s and 50s.
- This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.
  
  Nice! I figured someone had done something like that before.
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  
  This one
  
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
- she's a true cyborg!
  
  Now listen to me vehry carefully.
Cyberpunk 2077 here we come! I need me some fucking Gorilla Arms! Lets Fucking Go!! Lol, j/k
- fucking Gorilla Arms
  
  Flash forward to the 2A people demanding their right to Bear Arms
Some how I bet it actually cost $6,000,000
- you forget that in europe, the insurance probably has to pay all that money.
  
  And you forget that in Europe there's no insurance, but an ACTUAL NHS!
  (not to mention that, being a prototype, was probably free)
  
  I think you missed what their on about. Probably you weren't growing up in the 70s
- It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.
- That's gorgeous both legs, the arm and one eye or ear
FINALLY we are getting one of the cool parts of the cyberpunk future!
I want one
- Which limbs are you ready to cut off?
  
  You can teach your body to use extra limbs, I'm going full Doc Ock.
  
  Left testicle.
- It will cost an arm and a leg!
Cyberpunk or Ghost in the shell vibes.
God damnit if this isn't the perfect superhero movie waiting to happen

Marvel, get on it. Miss Bionic Saves The World, I want it in films by 2025
- Nobody said they expected it to fuse. Only that it just...did. There's your origin/accident-in-the-lab scene.
Yeah Science, bitch!
How long has she been using it? It says

she's two decades without hand, and now can use this

this one used for years

she has less pain issues now

So has she been using this for two decades? Some years but less?

Seems like they connected it after using more traditionals for a while?
- No, it says she was without her right hand for decades, and that she got this one three years ago. So I assume she did not use traditional prosthetics?
Permanently Deleted
I didn't see it in the article, but that hand seems to be missing a wrist, right? So far "only" the fingers and the thump are driven.
