A software patch for a hardware failure.

Do you mean with the Voyager FDS? There's a big difference between patching a system 30+ years past it's planned mission date because at everyone's amazement it just keeps going and being valuable versus the Neuralink developing issues a few months after being installed when many expected it to fail because of the news of high failure rate among the primate test subjects beforehand.
