Yeah, bought a wifi-enabled olympic bar and it's permanently set to 0lbs until I connect it. Supposedly, the app has a cupon for free weights, but idk, I think I'm gonna install a VPN on it.

ETA: Unfortunately (or fortunately for society) this is a joke.

Please tell me that's all satire. The current state of affairs makes it impossible to tell.
