lol that'll never happen

it'll be an implant

and employers won't pay for the implants, you'll have to buy them on the market and get them implanted yourself to be considered eligible for employment, and you better do your research to make sure you're getting a good one with broad compatibility for major employee monitoring systems

also both the hardware and software are licensed to you, you don't own them and cannot modify them, and they're all proprietary

its not so much that your memory is getting worse, or that most peoples' are as bad as they think, as it is that the strictly regimented nature of modern life with a full time job turns each day into a meaningless repetition of motions we've gone through countless times before, and so our brains treat our days with the appropriate lack of gravitas and turn our lives into a blur

I can't tell you beyond broad descriptions what i did at work yesterday or had for dinner last Wednesday, but i remember the details of personal conversations held with coworkers and friends going back months

our brains aren't broken, the suffering and unhealthy mental habits we endure are reactions to the realities of our lives within an insane world

That's true but again, 3D printing is nowhere near making a good barrel either. You can also make decent barrels with a simple lathe and a little training, it's pretty basic fabrication, especially for something with the expected accuracy of an AK
