The stupid "AI pin" is exploding in the charging case
The warning for the Ai Pin was issued “out of an abundance of caution,” according to Humane.
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.
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.
: 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!inhumane
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.hell yeah.
P.T. Barnum would be proud.
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
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.
you know, im having some marks of capital myself
Humanecels seething, Rabbitchads stay winning
Written by Brian Heater made me laugh.
4 hours of standby time. LOL WTF? My phone can "standby" for over a week yet drained in hours just from scrolling Lemmy.
Now we'll have to pin this failure on someone
Whatever this is I'm sure it'll be good for bitcoin
If these just killed techbros I’d be fine. But like Teslas, their defects could impact other people’s lives. Imagine talking to someone and you die because his bazinga pin exploded
We really got the shittiest version of Skynet.
