    does the “open” have any relationship with open source design, or is it just a bullshit marketing tag? I have browsed their site and seen nothing

      Definitely just marketing. Otherwise they would be vocal about it being open source.

    So they have the right to repair their own body right? For when the company inevitably goes under, or drops support for this model in favor of a new product line.

    I’m waiting to receive two bionic arms. I have always fantasized about how useful having those two arms would be and how it would feel to be able to use them. I’d even be okay with being called an insect.

    I am happy that we are starting to see bionics used to help people and become more accessible. Limbs, eyes, all sorts. If we had someone like Bezos they could choose to invest in this technology, mass produce it and change the lives of millions.

      at what point is someone a cyborg 🤔? Is my grandpa a cyborg because he has metal implants in his knees?

        If we wanted to make a distinction (why?), one could say these implants have a firmware counterpart built in themselves. New upgrades would hopefully bring improvements.
