I shouted "hey siri whats the forecast" while getting a child dressed for school this morning and just got told repeatedly that siri was "working on it", but I guess it's nice that this is a new way for a homepod to not work (weather app broken everywhere) rather than the usual way for homepod not to work (siri sucking). fix your poo poo tim apple

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
still a big fan of
“hey siri play next podcast”
“sorry i couldn’t find that. you can try asking me to play a song on apple music”

love the tutorial mode

I’ve had to rotate through several different formulations of asking Siri to play my favorite terrestrial radio station because they keep breaking. often the one that works currently explicitly did not work previously, and currently the response from Siri “now playing such and such radio station” doesn’t even resemble what I have to use as a prompt.

i've used mine every day for like 2+ years and it still has great runtime

I guess I only particularly care about computers. I'll give you that apple tv is fine. But all I can say is for two days now the phone computer weather app loads a blank screen, and the tablet computer has no weather app at all

then again they managed to pivot the apple watch amazingly well so maybe we'll all be wearing ar glasses by the third iteration or so

the apple watch didn't cost three thousand dollars and make you look like a dork

I mean the gold one did but the people who bought those were already the worst

also I noticed I have an air quality index of 109 because carrot weather makes you pay twice as much to be able to see the air quality

i mean that's kind of my point, they tried to sell it as a luxury thing at first so i wrote it off as a flop and look where we are now.

but i guess they did pivot into a somewhat established market and such a market doesn't exist for ar/vr so i still have big doubts

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
apple watch is funny because it was not a very good watch and everything else it did initially was "your phone, but more difficult to use". people bought them though, for whatever reason.

they kept the line going for long enough to come up with a use case for people like Casual Encountess, so i guess it's retroactively a good product now.

they sold a couple dozen to petrochemical failsons as a luxury thing, for some reason it got all the attention but the cheapest model of the newest version has always been the bulk of their sales from day 1

as a watch, it was not so good. like, the basic functionality of "a thing on your wrist that tells time" was there, but the battery life was terrible and it was bulky and (imo) not a nice design. it did other things too, but most of them involved things your phone already did and the value of now having a thing on your wrist that would buzz constantly and you'd have to fiddle with, as opposed to the one in your pocket was dubious*.

again, obviously that's something enough people wanted to keep the line going for 8+ generations. when it launched this was questionable


*maybe this is a better value proposition if you keep your phone in your purse, idk
