Watch: This revolutionary technology is changing the world for kids born without limbs 

That’s awesome and I’m sure its way cheaper than a prosthetic, but seriously it cannot be cheap to 3d print something that big…

this one 17 year old guy 3d printed an entire arm and shoulder for himself and it cost him $250

this seven year old girl got half an arm (just like lusie in the gifs) 3d printed and it only cost $50

can we just compare that with the average price of buying a prosthetic

3d printing is gonna help so many people holy crap

I am so angry at this app OK

It’s just

perfect?

And it’s FREE, which doesn’t make sense. Why would an app so good be free?

Let me tell you about this app OK

You set habits for yourself to complete morning, afternoon or evening. You can pick anything you want.

If you pick something like yoga, or exercise, you have the option to pick a workout and the app will guide you through it, with voice instructions.

You want to meditate? It has some guided meditations.

It’s really encouraging. You drank a glass of water? Great job, fabulous traveller! Continue to be fabulous!

You have feedback? They’ll incorporate it into the build as soon as possible.

You want personal coaching? They can totally do that.

Trying to achieve something specific? They’ll suggest habits and set small goals.

I’ve been doing it for 3 days and I just. I am getting up early now somehow? I am completing many things in my day instead of like 1 or 2 things? I don’t understand?I’m actually a little SUSPICIOUS because an app this genuinely good shouldn’t be FREE. Maybe the coaching thing costs money or something like that. It says “in-app purchases” as a permission but I haven’t come across any yet.

RxTimerCaps save lives. The clock resets to 00:00 every time the bottle is opened so I’ll know if I’ve missed a dose. I bought these online. by bionicback via reddit

They seem to be 2 for $15, and look really useful!

I need these

shoutout to folks who take medicine that could be deadly if taken too often or missed but who also have brainfog like a motherfucker especially. It’d be useful for lots of people, but in those cases especially.

Reblog for those who might benefit from these.

Meltdown emergency chat

As I told lipstick-autistic in an ask, I made an app for android to help me communicate when I’m non-verbal after a meltdown. After receiving positive feedback on the concept, I decided to publish it here and hope I can help other people who want to communicate with outsiders in situations where speech is impossible.

This is the opening screen of the app. It has a base text that explains to the person you gave your phone to that you can’t use speech and want to use this app to communicate.

Both the title and text can be adjusted in the settings(accessed with the Menu button on your phone or through the separate Settings launcher) to be whatever you want the person you give your phone to to know.

When the Continue button is pressed, the app continues to a bare-bones chat client:

(yeah, I didn’t really have a lot of inspiration writing a demo conversation)

I hope this helps some people(and I hope never having to use this).

EDIT: the app is now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jeroendebusser.aspiemeltdown

Good news for everyone with blurry vision or a strong desire to become Superman. The Ocumetics Bionic Lens may give you 60/20 eyesight — three times better than 20/20. It’s a major leap in eye prosthetics, takes 8 painless minutes to install — and could be here sooner than you think.

Self-Driving Car Completes Drive Across America 99% Autonomously

Think of the freedom it’ll make for people like me, who have panic attacks when it comes to stuff like driving. The car mostly handling itself would ease some of that stress, significantly so if they continue research to make it safe and capable for city driving. People who lack the ability to handle cars, something I think a lot of people take for granted, would finally be that much more independent.
