Gregory's Server@CiaraNi may i add to the list? My sister’s father in law recently got a new pacemaker installed. Said pacemaker requires him to download and use a proprietary app. Do you think this 70 year old man has a phone that is compatible with said app? Of course not. He had to spend hundreds of euros for a new phone just to make sure his heart can function and not die.

@CiaraNi @foervraengd not to mention that the app is proprietary. What if they change their hardware reuirements? Or their policy? What if they run out of business?  @CiaraNi @sabrinaweb71 i have seen articles going around about someone with a brain chip transplant that helped their seizures, being forced to have it surgically removed because they could no longer afford to pay the subscription service. @foervraengd @sabrinaweb71 I've seen a few examples of medical solutions that weren't supported afterwards - utterly unconscionable. |
@foervraengd That is a perfect and perfectly awful example of this whole problem. The money, the time, the stress, all on top of illness - terrible. I hope he'd doing ok (despite it all)
