They’re not even doing refunds or recalls, they’re just giving people 2 free months of the subscription and telling them to only charge the device and the hotswap add-on batteries with the home charger.

This piece of shit has a 4 hour standby time if you’re not using the case to recharge the batteries. Literally unusable.

    Currently, the company is offering consolation in the form of two free months of its $24 subscription service.

      The subscription plan is for the whole machine. It becomes a brick if you don’t pay them $24 a month. Not just for the cell service that it relies on, but also because the “AI” shit that is its entire raison d’etre is all done on somebody else’s computer in a datacenter somewhere.

      It’s fine! You subscribe to your very portable incendiary device only until it ignites.
