  There are definitely things the Spotify Car Thing could’ve done.

  It’s a potato, sure, but there are still uses. Displaying some PC information, weather information, using it as a macro-pad (someone actually did that one)… or doing the thing it was designed to do: show some album art and the song you’re playing, and giving play/pause, skip buttons.

    People have jailbroken the Car Thing and are using them to control home automation/media playback and display information.

      Yeah, so they have some use

        Yeah, we all know that. OP was saying that Humane Pin doesn’t even have that capability.

  That hand projector might be fun for cosplay shit. Give Adam Savage box of old ones for his shop.

    As long as you’re cosplaying indoors or at night. The thing isn’t bright enough for daylight.

  I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn’t overheat instantly.

    I think it relies on the server backend, which they’re closing down, to do pretty much anything including TTS

      Yeah, their innovative AI operating system architecture isn’t very innovative now.

  True. The yield is too small for it to be useful as a bomb.
