It's a $700 device with a $24/month subscription fee, and will be bricked in ten days.

At least the equally-panned Rabbit R1, released around the same timeframe and riding the same AI hype, only cost $200 with no subscription.

Amusingly, Rabbit just announced today that they're now shipping at Best Buy - their first steps towards brick and mortar exposure.

If someone had written this as satire when they released the pin it would have seemed a little harsh

Alas, the pricey e-waste reaches its unsurprising end of life.
