Pedal assist, but for commuters who’d rather walk.

      They’ll probably just force you to use an app that gets removed from the app stores when the next breaking OS change hits.

      I could hack your shoes with my Flipper Zero and check whether your toes can touch your calves.

    Could be good, especially for hiking if they make the appropriate shoes, but the article does make a good point that it looks like an ankle monitor. Imagine being one of the early adopters walking into the office looking like they’re on leave from house arrest.

    Am interesting idea - I wonder if this would be beneficial for injury recovery, in the same way pedal assist can be.

    What if you have really really fat calves but the rest of your body is super thin so you’re like a scarecrow except for your notably enormous bulging calves and when you walk by people they’re all like: wow that skinny person has enormous fucking calves.

    HOW WOULD YOU EVEN WEAR THESE? THIS IS DISCRIMINATION.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
