He's joking now but just wait for the inevitable cyberdystopia where HP manufacturers replacement organs.
You joke, but there are already protheses which are proprietary, and have shut down. Artificial eyes is a famous example, where the company making one shut down the product line, and blinded people who'd had it installed, due to it just shutting off.
In a good world this type of shit would be illegal. We'll need a stop killing games petition but for organs soon
I think that's alcoholic anonymous
In any sane society, there would be heads on the chopping block for this, figuratively speaking.
hands on the chopping block, and then replaced with proprietary prosthetics

Don't care for musicals in general but this was worth watching for zydrate anatomy alone.
Your pacemaker subscription has expired
don't have to wait, that's happened already
This should be illegal.
may I interest you in destroying the entire concept of copyright and/or the idea that any such venture should be undertaken by a legal entitity that can just quit existing
