There comes the time you have to root your own brain and install CyanogenMod 23.0 "BrainIac" on it, maybe "TorView" and "OpenMath" too. I recommend "FreeTaste 2.0" as an addon.

Imagine how high stakes it is to avoid bricking your brain.

Not your brain but rather a tiny little chip inside your brain, still would be a rather difficult task (that's an understatement) to unbrick or replace it though. Unless they put a debug Port accessible from the outside you would need surgery if you needed to JTAG to unbrick it (probably would need it anyway since if they go this route they probably won't let you access the pins you need to from the outside).

Sure, you can root your brain and install a custom firmware on it, but your eyes won't work unless you install the proprietary Google-Netflix-Microsoft-MPAA DRM blobs.

CyanogenMod

That would be LineageOS now. but yes, definitely root the hell out of your brain implant!

Edit: spelling.

FreeTaste 2.0

Imagine someone infecting a user's implant with a script that makes everything you eat/drink taste like leftover Jägermeister in a cup from a week ago
