A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why would Humane delay an OTA update to give access to the device just because a small group of users are using an access certificate? You are punishing the entire class just because one student kept on talking.

I don't trust this company. They have been lying to their users from the very beginning.

100%. Even them saying "But (using a cert to unlock the device) is crossing the line." is the sort of arbitrary moral line-drawing that tech bros are prone to, where they think they deserve to dictate what people can do with their products/ code. The same as LLM companies saying it's wrong to train on their output, while training on everyone else's.

100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it's impossibile to push any OTA update.

If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update

They say they were going to put out the update, but hadn't announced anything.. yeah I totally believe them.

Paywalled, anyone got an archive link?

a device that can capture photos and videos, support some large language model or another, and be used to interact with the world without having to pull a phone out of their pocket.

Bodycam + Echo/Nest + projector, sounds interesting... too bad they had to make it so expensive, and locked down.

Wonder if there are some cheap secondhand ones out there.
