Imagine neurolink dropping support for your device and now you have eWaste in your brain, just like the company, which made Eyes for disabled people and then went bankrupt leaving customers with eWaste in their eye holes
There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don’t contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).
But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.
Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.

Keep in mind this is modern tech and an Elon-helmed corpo we’re talking about lol. Do decades-lasting components bump stock shares THIS quarter? I point to all the bits falling off of Teslas lately.
Pretty sure these things need to be certified and there are laws about what parts you are and are not allowed to use.
Not saying highly regulated industries don’t ever have problems (look at Boeing), but it’s not like they can just arbitrarily decide to cut costs wherever.

Yep. This stuff must be open source. The owner should be the actual owner, with full administration rights, and source and schematic.
I don’t know what components exist on the neuralink boards, but i do know that capacitors are pretty common and tend to leak after a couple decades…

Yes, capacitors have a lifetime which decreases if they experience heat.
