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.

their page to link accounts to it was not a real webapp, it was a novnc page that would connect to an ubuntu vm that runs chrome with no sandboxing and basic password store under fluxbox wm

someone dumped the home directory from it

I wish I knew what any of this meant…

It basically implies that they cobbled together some standard technology but they didn't even put it together very well.

It's like a solution that's held in place with chewing gum and Band-Aids.
