I don’t dislike #Siri as much as other people. But sometimes it can be funny.

#Chicago got around a foot or more of snow over the weekend. When it’s this high, Watson has trouble pooping in the backyard unless we shovel out a spot for him.

Sometimes when he goes, Jess and I text each other that “we have lift off!” 😆

Taking him out just now, I did speech-to-text with my Watch and… well. 😆 #Lyft #Apple

“Hey #siri , play some music to get me in the mood for going out”

I did this twice. Same result twice.

I think #apple knows I am not the type of person who “goes out”

(I do get why this was triggered, but also lol come on)

Great.

$dayjob MacBook forced to update to Tahoe. This "liquid glass" interface is a pile of wank.

I checked settings and both Apple Intelligence (sic) and Siri are disabled and yet there's 8 "Siri" apps running in the background:

com.apple.siri.embeddedspeech
SiriSuggestionsBookkeepingService
SAExtensionOrchestrator
siriinferenced
SiriAUSP
sirittsd
siriactionsd
siriknowledged

And 5 "Intelligence" apps:

IntelligencePlatformComputeService
intelligenceplatformd
knowledgeconstructiond
intelligencecontextd
intelligentroutingd

Why are these still running if I've supposedly disabled them in settings?

GUESS WHAT???

I was on a walk in a nearby neighborhood, and I saw a poster advertising a pumpkin patch event in a local park. I asked Siri, "Where is blahblahblah Park in blahblahblah?" where the second blahblahblah was the city I was in. Siri promptly came back with the address.

That's not the amazing part. HERE'S the amazing part. On a lark, I then asked Siri, "How long would it take to walk there?" and it answered, "About 5 minutes." Seriously. It answered a follow-up question!!!

#Siri

Voldria poder utilitzar #AppleIntelligence o #Siri en #català en els meus dispositius però no és possible per aquest motiu.
En els dispositius d'Apple pots configurar el català com a llengua del sistema des de fa anys però que jo sàpiga, #Apple no està fent res per portar el català a Apple Intelligence i Siri i ningú està pressionant Apple per a que ho faci i ningú ho ha fet mai, ni els partits suposadament independentistes.
Si trio "espanyol" sí que puc però no em dona la gana.
