I don't care who makes it I'm not putting absolutely proprietary software in my brain
What happens if your brain implant is like a phone, and stops getting updates after 2 or so years? That'd suck really bad.
Then I'm jailbreaking my brain implant and installing Linux on it
The bootloaders gonna be locked.
It can only stay locked for so long
You gonna open up your brain to flash the ROM?
Probably get a unit w/o having it implanted, modify it, then get it installed unofficially. (Don't ask who or where, because that won't be shared publicly, as it will almost certainly be illegal).
Careful not to brick your brain implant.
Can it run Doom?
That's all it runs.
