  • Siri on HomePod can't tell you what time it is right now

    chasmchasm
    A. Just checked at 4:57 PT, it gave me the correct time. Obviously some short-term glitch, based on the other reports above.

    B. Siri answers me perfectly for everything I ask of it. That said, 99 percent is basic commands like time, today’s weather, monetary conversion, “remind me…”, “I have an appointment at,” and stuff like that. That’s what I use a voice assistant for.

    I’m not a game show, and I’m not trying to stump the players. Also, I’m stage-trained so my diction is very good. Maybe some of you need to a) use standard grammatical form in [your language], and b) take the marbles out of your mouths.

    Wow, I hope the cheque cleared for your advertorial. Would be interested to know who you work for.

    “Tool” isn’t just the name of a band.

    Apple should just buy Massimo and be done with it
    I think Masimo may just possibly have the right to not sell if they don't want to.

    This could be yet another example of something Apple has secured rights to do in North America and ... not necessarily anywhere else ...

    A more elegant solution would have been to swallow hard and leave the program open-ended, effectively giving those machines lifetime keyboard warranties.
     
    The vast majority of Intel Macs have been replaced. Mine is the VERY last model of Intel MBP 15", and it's five years old now. I plan on replacing it with an M3 14" whenever the M4 comes out and the M3s get a price reduction.

    I'm not trying to suggest that a five-year-old Mac is "old hat" but in fact the average useful life of most computers is 5-7 years, so replacing a machine that still works just fine is perhaps a tad early but not out of the question at this point. People do this all the time.
