How about just getting Siri to do the most basic of things within the languages currently available. With so much criticism regarding Siri's current performance, maybe focusing on the basics should be the focus...

We can talk about Music later 

I'm guessing you gave up on both after a few tries?

I use Siri everyday and it works great - rarely does it not understand what I've said.

You must be the exception to the rule.
Siri is as dumb as a bag of rocks.
And Apple Music is low quality lossy crap.

I own a Surface Pro and have had no problems with it at all and it cost less than my iPad Pro.

I have not seen a difference in performance compared to the MacBook Pro 13 it replaced, but I am not a gamer and use desktops for heavy lifing.

My only complaints about the Surface Pro are battery life and the frumpy power adapter. Would be incentive if they would just switch over to USB C like Apple has done on my iPad Pro.

I do not care about cash back on a card that is charging the kind of interest rates common in the US.
My current cad is 0.0% APR- I do not need cash back.\

Not sure where this clown went to school, but our nation was founded upon the concept that our rights are intrinsic to our humanity- they were not granted by any king or government and cannot be abrogated by any king or government. The proper role of the government and its officials is to defend those rights and to respect them.

He might also be advised that all power held by any government comes from and with the consent of the governed- that would be the citizenry. The same document that describes those concepts states that it is the right of the citizen to abolish and replace any government that becomes abusive of those rights.

The US Supreme Court ruled unanimously regarding warrantless intrusion into cell phones and the opinion written by Chief Justice Roberts put it quite plainly- get a warrant. This is not a controversial position from either the liberal or conservative wing of American politics.

What the donut patrol ( law enforcement) wants is to surveil you 24/7/365 without a warrant. They want you without rights, without a lawyer and well able to incriminate yourself. That violates the most basic precepts of our democracy and republic.

With universal Siri, all spoken requests would be in error.

You must not use Siri much. 

I have given it many chances- just like Apple Maps - to prove itself and it always disappoints. The native QNX voice recognition in my car works better than Siri- using the iPhone’s files no less.
