Oops. I try to keep track but that one got by, sorry.

Prosthetic limbs with tool attachments custom-designed for tasks and owned by the corporation were a thing in post-WW1 era. They were basically a wearable tool you left at the job site at the end of the day.

The linked tweet has several pictures - and then an interesting turn into how WW1 veterans and their prosthetics became entangled in Nazi propaganda. The tweet itself is replying to someone pointing out that the software-license model for your own prosthetic limbs is a pretty frightening prospect.
