Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app (arstechnica.com)

Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

Ubuntu is just a bunch of apps running on Debian! Did you know you can take Ubuntu app .deb files and run them on Debian?

Look. The R1 is stupid, but this isn't the reason why.

Such a bad comparison. In the case of Debian and Ubuntu apps you run both apps on your hardware you already have. In case of rabbit, you could just run app on your phone instead of buying rabbit. Rabbit does not offer anything more than their app does when installed on android phone. It's even better on android phone because phone is faster.

lmao threatening action against their own imminent irrelevance, more like

Not cool guys, not cool at all

And get serious - fuck your "proprietary" details, fuck lying/misrepresentation for money, and fuck you for trying a stunt like this.

Call me when you actually put the genie in the bottle!

I mean, isn't all software just an app that runs on hardware?

Look I think this little thing is a cool gimmicky thing that is cheap and doesn't really have any practical application at all... I forgot where I was going with that comment but I guess it pretty much sums up my thoughts.
