I think that's all good. It just has to be done well. And so once we get used to it, the shock of it being different will wear away. That being said... There are still certain things that Siri reads. Like if I get a message while I'm walking my dog and it comes in through my AirPods and Siri dictates the message to me over my AirPods.

I'm not sure what part of the computational chain there is choosing how to read those out. But wow, it's really dumb in certain ways. I've had it do things like read out tracking numbers.

yeah i know but but usually by the time you get that out and by the time it recognizes it and like it's it's kind of it's it's a slow process sometimes it also decides to do you know so and so wrote a long message do you want me to read it yeah but so so far like i i assume it's waiting for me to do the head tracking i turned off the head tracking the yes no tracking because i thought it'd be annoying but i will actually say out loud yes or no turn on the head tracking like i said i hear the little rattle these a lot but i don't i've never accidentally triggered it yet

I do, yeah. So this is something that breezed by our friend Charlie Chapman. I saw him buy one, and I'm like, oh, that looks kind of interesting. He posted on Amazon about it, and I immediately ordered my own.

My family could use some basic ambient display of information in the kitchen, like on the kitchen counter next to the home pod. I want to be able to show like the weather and some countdowns to important dates and stuff like that. And this does that excellently. But I thought for sure, like, all right, I'm going to put this up sometime when Tiff is not home.

And just hope that it can last as long as possible before she sees it. Because I think it's a huge risk to put this up and have it be approved. I played a family favorite. I had it do like a three-pane layout. One big pane was weather. One small pane was a date countdown to the next important date. And the other small pane was a quote from the office. The TV show, The Office.
