      In a statement to The Verge, Lifeward spokesperson Kathleen O’Donnell said the company is “pleased to report that we got in touch with Mr. Straight last week, and we were able to resolve the issue with his device over the weekend.”

      i.e we knew exactly how to get in touch with him but hoped it would blow over.

      Fixed in a weekend too, all that stress for what was probably a few hours max to improve/return someone’s quality of life and independence.
