I don't want any kind of computer in my body for the simple reason I refuse to have my internal organs run on windows
GNU/Borg
better but computers in general aren't very good at things. They're great if you want to do a lot of calculations really fast but they just don't have the reliability I look for in an internal organ
also some teenager would hack into me and force me to dance or something
There's a game about that. It's called Exapunks. You play as an anarchist hacker who is slowly dying to a degenerative disease that turns your flesh into electronics. The medicine to keep your disease from progressing costs 300 dollars a day, so you learn how to hack from a zine and then start making money for your medicine and taking down capitalism. At various points you have to use your hacking skills to reprogram your nerves so your body will continue to function. Send a virus to tell your heart to beat and so forth. The gameplay is based on a modified version of assembly and actual programming puzzles that make sense in the context of the cyberpunk world.
nice I'll have to check it out
That's ok, neither do regular organs.
I highly doubt The Borg are using 21st century Windows or Linux operating systems.
