    How the hell would you even recharge an open source retina? This isn’t your typical PC app.

      The same as a closed source one? What does charging something have to do with an app? I’m not even sure what you’re saying.

        I don’t know either, and I think OP didn’t read the article. What the fuck is open source limb? Open source retina? What does recharging mean in that context? Swapping the battery or faceplanting on an inductive charger?

        Or perhaps OP meant manually updating your eye instead of relying on a company? But in that case, a battery swap is not even related to open/closed source topic.
