★ Curator’s Notes ★

A $699 wearable designed to replace glancing at your phone with talking to your lapel in public. Less than a year after launch, Humane announced that its consumer servers would shut down, taking calls, messages, AI queries, and cloud access with them. The future arrived, overheated, and was remotely converted into a decorative pin.
