I'm taking a mail-order sleep study and tonight I unpacked all the gear and read the instructions. Hardware-wise everything seems fine; a few instructions could use clarification but overall it seems like a decent piece of diagnostic medical telemetry kit.

And there's an app.

I so want every MBA and app developer who voluntarily adds Facebook pixels and Google Analytics trash to every fucking product to be dragged up the side of an active volcano behind a Land Rover and unceremoniously chucked into the crater. Could I just get medical diagnostics without you sharing everything with your 867 closest personal affiliates? Is there one single thing you won't enshittify?

Why do we suffer you to live?

I imagine a team of biomedical engineers, physicians, and researchers developing amazing medical hardware that can do a lot of good, hardware that is immediately siezed and handed to their baboon and remora masters. Another press to squeeze out the last drop of blood from this turnip.
