They welcomed a robot into their family, now they're mourning its death - JIBO!

The title speaks for itself, The Verge recently published this news: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/19/18682780/jibo-death-server-update-social-robot-mourning

I think their approach was quite different than Linus, or am I wrong? Less specs and more real feel with the "product".

The Verge probably offered free techsupport for it

• Your thread must include a link to at least one reputable source. Most of the time, this should be a respected news site.
• Your thread should also include quotes from the cited source(s). While you shouldn't just copy the entire article, your quote should give the reader a summary of the article in a way that gives the key details, but also leaves room for them to read the full article on the linked website. Please use quote tags to show that you have copied this content from another site.
• The title of your thread must be relevant to the topic and should give a reader a good idea of the contents of the thread. Copying the title of the source is permitted but absolutely not required. It should be to the point and not be done in such a way as to mislead a reader, such as clickbait, etc.
• If your article is about a product or some form of media, images are always appreciated, although they are not required.
