Are they going to auto-update and spy on me? As much as I want a forearm cannon, I don't want to lose my head one morning when the update fires my arm.
Augs are inferior to the human body. Maintenance, firmware and utterly static with zero adaptability...I'll keep my ever adapting and self-repairing flesh thanks.
I do wonder if things like pro-active joint replacement once you stop growing will be the norm in our lifetimes. I think the bio-compatible ceramics they're using for things like hip joints have lifespans in excess of human life expectancy. Get it over with when you're young and can quickly recover instead of when you're old and more likely to suffer complications.
It's going to be the thing many probably haven't considered while salivating over the idea of augmented parkour or other extreme sports.
Just because you now have limbs that can make inhuman leaps doesn't mean the rest of your body will survive the landing. Likewise the human brain evolved to it's current design as a result of what previous generations experienced and sudden gforces caused by augmented leaps and landings wasn't on that history list.
That mechanical tail was made to help labourers with balance while lifting.
And frankly, what do you need a tail for to balance for when you're on all fours? It's harder to balance on two feet, I should think. (Cats use their tail as a rudder, perhaps, but that's not balance per se - agility more like). And I've seen raccoons run away with armfuls of food while on two legs (like human ancestors running to the nearest trees across parkland, with handfuls of carrion or whatnot). I don't think lack of a tail has anything to do with being a Master Species, or even walking on two legs (and theropods say hi, too. Human bipedalism isn't the only way to be bipedal, and when it comes to technology? Well, the whole point of it is to overcome physical shortcomings, so how it would manifest would depend on what the species needed it for. Man is just generally pathetic and found himself in an ever-tightening spiral of technological dependency ...)
Did you check out the video? Looks like a helpful product to me.

At least a kill switch is intentional. I expect accidents when the targeting software update decides baby strollers are immediate threats.
wait, that was supposed to be an accident?
Just make sure it works immediately, like it does for the mech augs. Damn those nano-augs and their killswitches taking 24 hours...

Yeah but think of the tiktok likes or whatever the fuck they use there!
Wonder how much damage a brain will sustain when it smashes against the inside of a full titanium replacement skull vs. a normal skull.
Well, whoever said it was better to have no tail?

A brain link thing? Can we please have this for pets to attach to a kind of translator, please? Maybe get together with the Deepsqueak guys ...
A tail only helps you if you walk on four legs. It does absolute nothing for anything that walks even a minority of the time on two legs.

Eh, if it's prehensile you got another hand to hold stuff with
I'm on board, since the fags at Square Enix are making shitty Marvel games instead of a sequel to DX Mankind Divided.
