I’m guessing that, unlike the Spotify Car Thing, there’s no conceivably useful application a jailbroken one of these could be repurposed for.
-
I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn't overheat instantly.

There are definitely things the Spotify Car Thing could've done.
It's a potato, sure, but there are still uses. Displaying some PC information, weather information, using it as a macro-pad (someone actually did that one)... or doing the thing it was designed to do: show some album art and the song you're playing, and giving play/pause, skip buttons.
Shit, even a desk clock would be better than nothing.

I guarantee this was their goal all along. Build up something to have a larger entity come through and buy the company. Wish I had thought of it but I'm not a fan of screwing over the user base.

People have jailbroken the Car Thing and are using them to control home automation/media playback and display information.

True. The yield is too small for it to be useful as a bomb.

That hand projector might be fun for cosplay shit. Give Adam Savage box of old ones for his shop.

I think it relies on the server backend, which they're closing down, to do pretty much anything including TTS

So essentially the same business plan as 95% of all tech startups of the past quarter-century.
-
Yeah, so they have some use

Released in April 2024; killed in February 2025.
-
Yeah, their "innovative AI operating system architecture" doesn't seem very innovative now.
-
Yeah, we all know that. OP was saying that Humane Pin doesn't even have that capability.
-
As long as you're cosplaying indoors or at night. The thing isn't bright enough for daylight.

Not being able to fully trust the results from the Ai Pin's Ai Mic and Vision features (the latter is still in beta) is just one problem with this wearable computer.
That's the problem with ALL gen-AI!! They aren't knowledge databases. They are pattern generators. When will people get this through their skulls?

They wanted 1 BILLION, and they got $230 Million

Insane they got even that.

When they are accurately called "text generators" and not "AI"
But at this point so many people have been misled by it that it may not be possible to educate those that have already been misled just stop others from being misled.
