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.

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

It’s fine! You subscribe to your very portable incendiary device only until it ignites.

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
