1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

I think I would love to use some shoes that track how uneven my gait(?) is and if I need mismatched soles to correct it. An uneven walk can ruin hips.

My co worker has something he clips onto his laces for runs. I’d suggest something like this vs shoes that need to be thrown away in a year.

His device is like 5 years old, runs on a CR2032, and still works flawlessly. Not sure what the battery life is like if you’re using it every day for casual walking since it’s designed for exercising.
