Thank you for responding! But I meant the name / brand of the hand. Like BeBionic or iLimb. Would you happen to know?

I've pondered whether it's possible to attach a prehensile tail to the human coccyx, link it to the nerves in some way to make it fully functional.
Some time ago there was this: https://www.theverge.com/2012/9/21/3367130/neurowear-shippo-tail-brain-wave-hands-on

Well yes and no.
Yes it's an Soc but it is not magic memory.it's ddr5 with an apple proprietary connection.
The point remains the memory is not nearly as expensive as what apple.is charging for it. It is also a practice they have had since long before the new CPU.
Apple has one of the highest profit margins in the world and it is because they overcharge you for everything.
I would not touch one of these machines with a ten foot pole just because of the proprietary fort nox they have on replacement parts.I mean it is beyond ridiculous at this point. They now have the track pad serialized so you can't replace it without getting the part from them.
That's predatory in my opinion.
Nice machines but apple can go fuck right off.

Oh nooooo... So basically infinite increase in demand and infinite increase in revenue increase is impossible... Won't someone think of the massive multi-billion dollar companies!

I'll stand by the fact that John Silver's (Treasure Planet) arm/hand is one of the coolest and most versatile prosthetics I've ever seen.

I vibe with your point, but the tax breaks that companies like spacex/tesla and Amazon get are specifically to fund research, that's how they get the tax breaks.

The first “modern” computers were designed to decipher nazi codes, the internet was built for military and espionage purposes (which is a collective of rich folks when you break it down), pretty much everything coming out of the space race can be pinned on american oligarchs and soviet dictators, air conditioning was created to de-humidify factories, and that’s just a few, give me specifics and i can identify them easier rather than trying to think of random things

This is awesome too, but I definitely read that as "prostitutes" at first and I was here for it

Yes, this one has firecrackers in it for when I need to scare horses and ghost warriors. And this one has a spear for immortal demon centipedes.

Read the title as "Prostates" initially. Decidedly less interesting as someone with a "Thor" skin on their prostate.

It'd be nice to make surgeons less stressed.
