  • Yes. That is turned on for me, or else it wouldn’t have answered in the first place.

    The issue is that instead of looking at either the integrated weather app, or the CARROT weather app that I mainly use, it wants to try and look it up on safari.

    The biggest issue about Siri for me has always been that it is inconsistent as fuck about they way you ask it things.

    I swear. One moment, “Play my radio station” works, and the next day it says, “I’m sorry. I can’t do that right now. “ or the weather request earlier.


  • Finally. It has been, for the last ten years, almost exclusively useless.

    “Hey Siri, what is the weather like right now?”

    “I’m sorry. You’ll have to unlock your phone for that. “ it says from across the room, as I’m looking at what clothes I should wear for whatever weather it is.

    “You are such a fucking waste of electricity. I don’t even know why I keep trying to use you.”

    “I’m sorry. I won’t respond to that. “

    “You never do anyway, so no change there!”



  • I guess for me, it being closed-source and the fact that the Bitwarden password manager and now Bitwarden authenticator are open source. Truthfully, I just see how they handled the desktop version of their Authy software, giving no fucks if consumers wanted it or not, being a big red flag of what could come after. Having used Bitwarden for years now, and giving them $10 a year, makes me more biased and inclined to use their other software, since they’ve never let me down. :)





  • It really goes like this:

    I buy product. Product has no ads, and works really well.

    After updates, my device starts showing ads and works worse than it had before.

    I bought the device. It is my device. I should be able to do what I want with my device, that I spent my money on, the way I like it. If that means I don’t want your shitty ads, then I should be able to avoid or opt out of those by default.

    From your thought:

    You buy cookbook. Cookbook has what you need already, which is why you purchased it.

    The one you purchased it from comes and “updates” your book by scribbling in ads for it’s other recipe books, and they did it really sloppily to boot.

    Now, when you are looking for a specific recipe that you knew was in the book before, instead it is an ad for their other recipe book in place of where the recipe you were looking for was.

    Sure, you can still find your recipe somewhere in the book, but as you flip through the books pages you see more and more and more ads for their other recipe books, and oh, now they are also showing you ads from some of their sponsors.

    You paid for the book. It is rightfully yours to do with it as you please.

    The recipe book company already got your money, yet they are insistent you buy more from them, and have even gone as far as defacing your book.

    You should be upset.
