    NGL I think it should all brain chips should fall under “concerning” and “controversial”

    The artificial eyes that existed in the past come to mind.

    For those unfamiliar, when the companies that made them went under support for the devices vanished and the people who got them were left with broken and defunct hardware still stuck in their heads

      Which is why I beleive companies making medical hardware should be forced to open source the firmware and software as well as document how the hardware works and have it be open to the public in a read only mode while qualified people can make updates to the software and firmware
