Yeah the product they delivered is clearly not what was promised. I lost interest as soon as the subscription model was made obvious.
Personally I’d just like my phone to allow others to contact me and search the internet, that’s all. I don’t need to text constantly, and other than lemmy I have no social media presence. Laser-display voice-control smart-broach actually fits the bill for me, provided it actually fucken worked at all lmao
Also I just really like weird or novel tech. I was an early supporter of pebble and the only thing I regret there is not buying doubles.
I honestly dislike voice control very much. Would be pretty annoying to constantly have people around who are talking to their devices. It's already jarring enough when you are a gust at somebodys home and they scream at their alexa every couple minutes, ruins the mood a little bit.
God I hadn’t even considered what “voice control only” would mean for public spaces. You’re right, that sounds like a nightmare.
