Summary

  • The Humane Ai Pin has only been available for less than a year, but the device is now defunct after being acquired by HP and having its key features shut down, including its voice assistant.
  • Owners of the $700 wearable are now left with a useless device, and even though they are now unable to get a refund, there are a few other options they could consider.
  • One option is to file a complaint with the FTC, which is not only useful for getting consumer protection but also draws attention to the issue of shady business practices.
  • Another option would be for the company to open up the software so that the dedicated communities of early adopters could try to modify it to keep it functional, or at least gain access to the hardware functions they paid for.
  • The other options owners could consider is to dispose of the device in an ecological responsible way, or keep it as a memento or a paperweight.
