Returned devices are currently e-waste that can’t be reassigned, per The Verge.
It was manufactured ewaste from the start.
It should have been shipped straight to the recycler directly from the factory and never bothered with the customer bit in the middle.
This is the same thing as Rabbit R1 piece of shit except it’s even worse.
I didn’t even realize that it wasn’t the R1…
This is what happens when you sell an expensive, bad, broken, unfinished product.
I think they are in the “find out” phase of FAFO.

It’s still baffling how this idea even got past anybody sane. It must be like in academia where who’s giving the pitch is much more important than what’s in the pitch. They must’ve heard “I worked at Apple as a product designer” and were sold on the spot.
I mean I like the physical design of the product but anyone with a brain could see it was never going to work as advertised.
you have that shit, people make fun of you.
Bad argument. The same was true for computers and video games just a couple decades ago.
In the late nineties we used to call cell phones jerkophones.

I remember laughing at business-aspiring folks rocking bluetooth earpieces back in the day, and now everyone walks around with at least one airpod attached to their skull.
Edit: forgot a “to”
Never heard of these types of devices but they seem useless. These companies expected these AI pins to replace phones? Lmao
Nah they don’t, they immediately tried to sell the company after launching the product
Just read about the product.
Makes google glass sound genius.
The AI Pin is a lapel pin that markets numerous features—like an AI voice assistant, camera, and laser projector—which its creators claim will replace smartphones as a go-to gadget. It costs $700 and requires a subscription that costs $24 per month, not including taxes and fees, for cloud storage, cellular data, and a number.
Well that just sounds like a terrible deal all around. Less than half of the features that make a smartphone valuable (almost necessary) for modern living, for roughly the same price. AND it’s ugly, probably awkward to use, and best of all, nobody asked for this
Lol
