I don't know. Even if the outcome is just that the implant just stop working, with no other issue, it's looking pretty bad to me.

Since it required literal brain surgery just to be installed, which I assume is already a serious risk, it's not something you want to potentially be useless.

The implant is already malfunctioning after a few months. Makes you wonder how many more of these threads will retract over the next following months.
