what kind of lame-ass dork would spend $200 on some worthless plastic garbage that does nothing but give you blatantly false information

for fuck's sake, LLMs do not possess knowledge. they generate believable text, that's it. you can't trust any information it spits out, it's just a word prediction algorithm AHHHH STOP TREATING IT LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL TOOL

even if this "AI" shit was even remotely useful, who wants to carry around some stupid orange device that does nothing your smartphone can't already do? whoever buys this trash deserves to get grifted

PS I hate Swedish minimalist design. this shit looks like a toy for a 4 year-old, which happens to be mental age of anyone who would buy this crap

My favorite part is that it has a touch screen but refuses to accept input from it in 99% of the interface in order to force you to use the scroll wheel

A scroll wheel that requires almost a full turn to scroll one line but also is smooth plastic, with no knurling to help scroll

And has no detents for physical feedback, and sticks out the back enough that the device can never lie flat, and the wheel can't be used while the device is lying on a surface

And with no way to make it spin further except rotate it 30 degrees, let go, grab, rotate it 30 degrees...
