This is gonna end up like those people who got an implant to be able to see, and when the company went under, they lost support and their eyesight

That's the first thing I said when this was first posted, all those people who had the implants that enabled sight are left with no parts and no support since the company went under.

There should be laws in place stating these companies will provide support and parts for the entire life of the users. Anything less is criminal.

Better to mandate open hardware and software standards, so if the company goes under others can make parts or even upgrade the devices.
