The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed... For Now (www.youtube.com)

Oooff ... I don't think it's like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.

Not that a wearable assistant doesn't make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they're good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by ... checks notes ... relying entirely on other companys' new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other "smart" devices we have just don't exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars ... really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.

The mbkhd video of the fisker was rough. A whole bunch of minor annoyances and he calls it the worst thing he's ever reviewed.

I mean... It was the worst car he's ever reviewed by a long shot.

If you're sending a car to be reviewed by one of the larger tech YouTubers and you don't have your shit together it's not a good look.

Even if you have to send a 1-off faked model that's Jerry rigged...

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.
