It sounds like the company is now blocking access from "bootleg" APKs.
  • Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
  • Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
  • AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

      A lot of those smart devices are nothing but a waste of rare earth elements. I don’t think switching on your lights remotely, or starting your car engine with an app are “features”. This is consumerist bullshit that we can very well live without any meaningful change in quality of life.

      There are disruptors, that truly bring something new to the table, and then you have smart dildos.
