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.

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? wtf-am-i-reading

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.

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

Its a new app in beta rn. Called Futo Keyboard. Saw it in a post on Lemmy the other day. They also have a voice entry app. All local. Runs very well despite the beta. It picked up on my typing habits very quickly

Oh it works pretty well, will be good once it gets good support for other languages

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