▶️ Humane AI Pin Review • The Verge

Written words if that’s your jam, like me. There are all the signs of a first generation product. However, I must admit that the industrial design is appealing for a gadget.

The intro video seems like it’s dead simple and the setup feels a lot like obsidian templates and setup. In fact, I often write a bunch of content with very similar templating in o … | Continue reading
