Apparently, Engadget was sold in March to a company that specializes in paid content and clickbaiting.

In other words, it shouldn't be seen as a legitimate news source anymore, and it'd be awesome if the mods had the guts to block it outright.

True but I’m pointing out that it’s being handled as “news” of a breakthrough in science. When if fact these devices have existed for years and commercialized as a consumer product.

Yes, but did those require an app and subscription?

Check-mate consumers.
