Not that a wearable assistant doesn’t make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they’re good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by … checks notes … relying entirely on other companys’ new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other “smart” devices we have just don’t exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars … really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.
I mean… It was the worst car he’s ever reviewed by a long shot.
If you’re sending a car to be reviewed by one of the larger tech YouTubers and you don’t have your shit together it’s not a good look.
Even if you have to send a 1-off faked model that’s Jerry rigged…
They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.
