my guess is siri was activated with raise to speak, then it listened to all that but forgot the correct reply is "congratulations!"

outlook is really awful. why in the gently caress do i still have to hack my way into making the calendar into a separate window. like is it so sstrange to want to refer to your calendar while reading your emails? why do i have to choose between one or the other or hack another window (but not a separate dock icon)?

just make two terrible apps: outlook mail and outlook calendar or something, christ almighty.

don't even get me started on teams

we have outlook at work as default email program. god drat the ribbon and hiding “new email”. I want a program that always lets me do the basics immediately . gently caress you

yeah it's possible, i was also thinking maybe there was some line that sounded vaguely like "hey siri" (i have not watched the anime in question and do not care to)

i just know sometimes that poo poo will trigger when i'm just talking to someone and its annoying as hell

i get some weird accidental triggers like that, words that only sound like half the command. normally it's my phone sitting on a dresser or something at a distance, so maybe the way the sound bounces?

that or something like when I must have pressed the crown on my watch the other day and it tried to call someone (me?!) then gave up when it didn't heard a plausible number option

lol same, i'm a big hand talker

bonus points if it catches the front end of "seriously" and thinks its "hey siri"

ime it's pretty hit or miss either way, more miss than hit. i just disable that poo poo right away now because yelling "hey siri" across my apartment wouldn't work but saying "[either] way seriously" while right next to it does is just maddening

i wandered into apple store #001 today and tried on an ultra and it's not as comically large as i expected when looking at it straight-on (but also i'm a large human being) but it's also really thicc and still bigger than i'd like. (I wasn't going to buy regardless, but it was good to know for like 2024 or whatever when i'm ready to ready to replace my s7)

PSA for goons thinking that eSIM are readily available in Europe, they are not. Italy has them but only on the major carriers and only in certain big stores. Apple sells the 14 series as eSIM+nanoSIM in everywhere but the us for a reason.

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
we were out bowling with friends last night and when people wanted to do a group selfie i remembered this new apple watch has remote shutter. it was great, allowed me to use the rear camera and do a group portrait rather than selfie styles. each shot was actually a 10 shot burst by default which i thought was pretty clever

i have no specific insight, but i also have to imagine there is a lot of companies out there who got burnt really bad by the supply chain hiccup disrupting everything. the actual device manufacturers and customers we saw happen, but it might also be way more expensive than a few years back to get various middlemen to commit to having the actual containers of things in a certain place at a certain time, so the super-smooth launches might no longer be standard for basically anything.

im down for that, were it not for really expensive “available now” ads bombarding me everywhere online and offline for the second week already, since apple resellers can afford buying the whole latvian ad market for a month
