everyone dancing on the grave of humane, but idk. i feel most of the issues in the review could disappear with a new generation of models. or even better balancing of local vs remote. the overheating is the more concerning thing imo.

might be cope tho (i preordered one 😅)

My main gripe with them is they’re trying to build “the next Apple” and another walled garden rather than embracing primitives we already use today (phones, watches)

It’s so silly that the device has a whole separate number and data plan, people are always going to have their phones on them, why not use them?

i don’t think you can get the reliability you need in a tethered model.

for instance, using my apple watch for siri was completely hit or miss until i switched to a cellular model, and it didn’t have to “phone home” every time. 

although maybe that’s just siri lmao

separate numbers are def very annoying though, and probably kill it for most…

agree they shouldn’t be above a companion app at first. meet people where they are, etc.

if they have high conviction on the projector being a massive convenience, let users show you that

Some things are better with a voice-first UX, others are better with a screen

Trying to force everything into a voice flow and then inventing some new shitty hand projector is not it imo

Haha yeah Siri just sucks

I agree that having a cellular model (ideally optional, like Apple Watch) would be nice but moreso my point is about refusing to build a companion app

Work together with the tools people already have and use rather than trying to create a whole new model
