News Summary

The Humane AI Pin, a wearable device launched less than a year ago, has been discontinued following HP’s acquisition of Humane. The device, originally priced at $700, has been rendered largely non-functional, prompting frustration among users. Humane has recommended recycling the device through an e-waste program, as only basic offline features like checking the battery level remain functional. Consumers are encouraged to file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) due to potential violations of consumer protection laws. Advocacy groups are pushing for the open-sourcing of the AI Pin software to allow the tech community to potentially revive and enhance the device.
