Those alternatives are old tech that has way more limitations than a neural implant.
Just because there is old tech that SORT OF does this, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. That’s the same attitude behind “not needing more than 4mb of RAM” back in the day. You can’t stop progress all because YOU are fine with the current state of the tech.
A friend of mine has been looking to upgrade his gaming rig since its pretty old and low budget. Still even has Windows 7!
The build he’s looking at has Ubuntu. I’m excited to welcome him into the Linux community.
