Even if it's not Elon Musk. Do you want to have brain surgery every 2 years to implant a new chip because the old one is obsolete?

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 years ago

No, the tech needs to be developed such that regular surgery is unnecessary.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I agree, but even if I did have to replace it, say, once a decade, it would make the surgery much more likely to be a success. When you can control the restriction of blood flow using the bodies own mechanisms, shut off the immune response within that area to remove rejection, and control the pain with targeted painkillers all automatically, the chances of dying on the table go away down. Not to mention the possible benefits of controlling your perspective of time, controlling emotions, having a perfect memory, being able to experience perfect VR, being able to remotely control machines, learning instantly via a download, automated control of replacement/additional limbs, and elimination of exhaustion all make it pretty attractive.

I'd be completely fine with a usb port in the back of my skull to update it /s

And now you need to replace usb-c with usb-d, unless you just bought an iPhone 30 then you need a thunderstorm cable (modeled after Steve Jobs dick).

Ahh a micro-p connector! It’s essentially a smooth surface with a small nub.

[-] Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's an impressively small connector!

Would I be able to use my body as a generator to have my movement create electricity to charge my phone?

[-] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If so I am all for it. Just moving my charging mussle.

New green initiative! Jerk off to save the world!

If it was from Apple, you'd end up with all your body parts as dongles. Including, uh, your dongle.
