  I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

    Yeah that’d be cool if the opened it up and recreate it as a platform for people to mess around with it. Like a rPi or Arduino or something. Because in it’s current form…pretty much useless. But you’re right; they’d have to drop that price point significantly and incentivize people even if it were open.

      Unfortunately the hardware is so closed that even themselves can’t reset the software for refurbishing

      Once a Humane Pin is returned, the company has no way to refurbish it, sources with knowledge of the return process confirmed. The Pin becomes e-waste, and Humane doesn’t have the opportunity to reclaim the revenue by selling it again.

        Jfc. Can’t, or rather won’t, refurbish? That’s beyond stupid.
