Humane bricked its pricey gadget on Friday afternoon. A short time later, a hacker got the codes to unlock it and potentially turn it into the true smartphone replacement it was meant to be.
Why would Humane delay an OTA update to give access to the device just because a small group of users are using an access certificate? You are punishing the entire class just because one student kept on talking.
I don’t trust this company. They have been lying to their users from the very beginning.
100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it’s impossibile to push any OTA update.
If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update
100%. Even them saying “But (using a cert to unlock the device) is crossing the line.” is the sort of arbitrary moral line-drawing that tech bros are prone to, where they think they deserve to dictate what people can do with their products/ code. The same as LLM companies saying it’s wrong to train on their output, while training on everyone else’s.

They say they were going to put out the update, but hadn’t announced anything… yeah I totally believe them.
