Is this a google company? It’s like hangouts for your eyes.

Where’s that dude who commented saying they were excited by the prospect of implantable Apple technology. Lol. One of the companies that perfected planned obsolescence.

A good example of an amazing tech hampered by the capitalist system, and very good argument for open source and right to repair.

It should be mandatory for company to provide support for the lifetime of the implanted device. If they kick the bucket (the company, not the patient), mandatory open source. It’s not like the patent matters anymore once the company’s dead, right?

i really think that it’s going to be one of those things people look back on in history class and are just totally baffled by, like trying to explain the patent and copyright rules will just be a whole lesson of kids saying ‘but that’s so dumb…’ and things like ‘but why did they let one company ruin everything just to keep their mouse to themselves, were they stupid?’

“Yes, children. Incredibly so. But greed let them melt the caps, extinguish entire species, and create a limit to the amount of potable water. With stupidity that extraordinary to debate over, what’s a little copyright issue to the voters of that century?”

I would add that everything that goes in the body should be open source and open hardware.

I remember reading this article. Makes me not want to be an early adopter but if I lost a sense I know I would change my mind.

Being an early adapter can be fun and great in many ways, but when we’re talking about implants, there are also some serious drawbacks.
