They're not even doing refunds or recalls, they're just giving people 2 free months of the subscription and telling them to only charge the device and the hotswap add-on batteries with the home charger.
This piece of shit has a 4 hour standby time if you're not using the case to recharge the batteries. Literally unusable.
techbros owned.
Currently, the company is offering consolation in the form of two free months of its $24 subscription service.
Excuse me a subscription plan for a fucking charger?
The subscription plan is for the whole machine. It becomes a brick if you don't pay them $24 a month. Not just for the cell service that it relies on, but also because the "AI" shit that is its entire raison d'etre is all done on somebody else's computer in a datacenter somewhere.
It's an overpriced defunct Siri
$700 for this PLUS subscription fucking tech bros.
Siri does the voice processing on device, I think, so it's actually worse than siri
Some of these models are so small they can run on a phone. My keyboard app has a local lite LM in it lmao. It also runs local voice detection. Imagine paying that much for a paper weight that measures the circumference of your asshole and reports back to the FBI when open source apps handle it locally for free
Its a new app in beta rn. Called Futo Keyboard. Saw it in a post on Lemmy the other day. They also have a voice entry app. All local. Runs very well despite the beta. It picked up on my typing habits very quickly
Oh it works pretty well, will be good once it gets good support for other languages
It's fine! You subscribe to your very portable incendiary device only until it ignites.
: the pin blew up in my face like a Looney tunes contraption and the charger combusted in my pocket but I still love the device!I remember a lot of talk when it first came out a couple months ago about it getting really hot because it only and always charges inductively while also running a projector
We regret to inform you that the Francis Scott Key bridge has collapsed after repair workers attempted to recharge their
Samsung Galaxy Note 7Humane AI pins.Exploding like an ACME bomb when prompted into a logical paradox is a feature, actually
I like how all the promo pics are of people having it pinned to their chest like it's a star trek comm badge
That's literally the only way you can use it. It's a pin that goes on your chest so it's mic can hear you and its camera can record everything around you, and it projects some bullshit useless UI onto your hand.
It's like a smartphone, but get this...
pause for suspence
It's shittier!
I'm surprised people are still using it enough to have this problem tbh
They probably shove it in the face on anyone they interact with. Unsolicited.
4 hours of standby time. LOL WTF? My phone can "standby" for over a week yet drained in hours just from scrolling Lemmy.
