How would you even hack the Humane Ai Pin?
Wi-Fi: Ai Pin doesn’t support Wi-Fi captive portals, as far as I know. So, no browser.
Network traffic: I assume it’s all SSL’d? Has anyone checked?
USB: no USB port, although there’s a bunch of test points on the left side of the board (see iFixit’s teardown).
Bluetooth: as far as I know, nobody has managed to pair anything weird to the Pin
eMMC dump: good luck; it’s smartwatch sized
Charger: the wireless charging base can reboot the Pin, suggesting that there’s some communication - but nobody’s tried reverse engineering it.
text message/phone network: no nation state attacker will burn a Android/Qualcomm 0-click on the Ai Pin. Also, these devices will lose cellular connectivity in 10 days, anyways.
