alt Hacker NewsHopefully it will also improve the product design engineering quality at HP. While the AI pin is a bit useless the industrial product design is at a high level. From what I remember it’s mostly an core of Apple engineers

lol, no it’s not.
The basic premise that people would want to wear a device as a pin is an industrial design failure.
The entire product is bad industrial design. Being built with nice materials is not automatically good industrial design.
It was a scam destined to fail and HP is making a stupid acquisition of worthless tech.

I thought they specifically outsourced the design to another company (Teenage Engineering).

The charging case had to be recalled because it was a potential fire hazard, and the pin itself had a tendency to overheat during normal use. Hardly a success story on the hardware front.
