i wonder how the rabbit is doing?
If you bought this e-junk in the first place you’re kind of a moron.
This is a product that didn’t need to be built. Since it has, I’m at least pleased there are efforts to keep them from being relegated to landfills.
I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.
Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.
Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.
You’re presuming they they had documentation
This is also the attitude taken by Ross Scott.
Imagine having a thing like that but with a touch screen. Like, a rectangular assistant you can always carry with you! Oh, wait…
Why would anyone want to revive this piece of sluggish useless piece of crap?
if someone has ideas, I say let them cook. Open sourcing this can’t be bad for anyone imo.
Though I agree in a way, I don’t understand what anyone found potentially useful with this thing in the first place.
Maybe because it’s got a CPU and memory, and because ewaste harms us all?
I’m all in favor of upcycling.
There are small language models out there that can run fluently on smartphones. I’m fond of StableCode as a coding tutor. My dream is to be able to speak to the tutor and see its code instructions without having to dig my phone out.
I vaguely wonder what the actual overlap between the sort of people who would buy something like that and people who’d be willing to do this actually is, especially since they didn’t sell a lot in the first place.
I’m all for things that can extend its life one more time. Honestly if the hardware was capable of performing on various levels, I’d really like to replace my phone. But again I’m torn between getting a dumb phone or just go back pen pals to whom ever I need to write to/back
a cellular smartwatch might be an option for you, maybe alongside an e-reader.
how many smartwatches existed that can be used without a phone?
apple watch can be set up on a family members iphone.
But why
Why not?
Why would anyone need to run Doom on medical equipment?
The only catch? You’ll need an interposer to set up an Ai Pin for use with OpenPin. You can either buy one or make your own.
Even more junk for landfill, to salvage a device that is inherently quite useless. It’s good to keep the original hardware running but it’s a shame this requires more hardware.
The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. You can build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case.
It doesn’t sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.The interposer files are in this repo: https://github.com/MaxMaeder/OpenPin
From the bom it seems it’s just a micro usb to pogo pin converter, no chip mentioned, so the pin has an usb port, but pogo pin form…
For those too lazy to click through to the article and don’t know what an Ai Pin is;
The Humane Ai Pin is a wearable, internet-connected AI device designed to offer a phone-free way to interact with an AI assistant from anywhere.
