Ewen, remember that “below your best” will still be way better than the majority of others :)

I like my watch a lot
doddsie

You cant beat a good solid proper watch. Love my Tissot
bobbeach
16:39:22
Not ugly at all
bobbeach
16:39:57
Course I do
bobbeach
16:40:20
I use my watch for lots of tasks
bobbeach
16:42:08
Exercise logging, music control, setting timers, setting reminders, checking calendar, alarms, sendin messages, and more

People put 1111 ? Are they mad?

yes use 1112
DeepPan

Is the bank code stored on the phone?
DeepPan
16:51:08
This is probably why law enforcement are using Stringray now, intercept and pull all the data over-the-air
DeepPan
16:52:53
unless you change the facebook security, they can get all your data just by hitting a friends profile
doddsie
16:54:05
Yes they might give a fake name but then they post on instagram or something similar for all to see!

Audiophile Greenie? What have you got in your ears? ;)
bobbeach
16:59:43
It's not as good as a decent stereo system but it is very good audio quality (and I'm an "audiophile" too)
Ewen
16:59:51
Wholly unfair @deeppan Greenie used to teach mastering of Audio
mullerbiker
16:59:53
Homepod is the New iphone X... tooexpensive and too late
Ewen

He’s one of probably very few people who can use Stage Pass

Doc Rock rocks autotune
DeepPan
17:03:41
Homepod has good sound, but that’s not enough. Siri needs an overhaul, then it might get popular
bobbeach
17:04:26
Given its limited functionality on HomePod, Siri works very well on HomePod
doddsie
17:05:31
Give me my Sonos One anyday rather than a homepod. At least the A lady responds
DeepPan
17:05:42
Very true Bobbeach, but Siri should give the same response, no matter where it’s triggered from

Siri has been working very well for me lately on all devices
mullerbiker

My G lady is a woman
mullerbiker
17:10:22
Its wprks
bobbeach
17:10:25
I agree @maccast
doddsie
17:11:01
It doesnt turn my lights (Hue) on or off reliably.
bobbeach
17:11:29
Disagree @ewen. Siri gets directions for me fine
doddsie
17:12:12
I am into Sonos throughout the house so I'm also not going to buy another system.
mullerbiker
17:12:43
I use TD=link works better with alexa and google and siri sometimes
doddsie
17:12:44
Siri is bad on the phone. I have to agree with Ewen.
doddsie
17:12:59
With all the money Apple are reported to have why cant they fix it.
bobbeach
17:13:01
Not for me I have to say
DeepPan
17:15:28
Apple hiring John Giannandrea, Google’s chief of search and artificial intelligence, should help the Siri update
DeepPan
17:16:20
Apple used to use Google cloud servers, and Azure and AWS, but not AI
maccast
17:16:36
And Alexa get it's right 100% of the time, @doddsie? If so that's great.
maccast
17:17:59
I can say none of my Siri Homekit experiences are 100%, but safe to say about 90% of the time it works for me and the experience is even better with HomePod.
bobbeach
17:18:54
Link Doc?
doddsie
17:18:56
@maccast no no 100% of the time. But if Siri worked 70% of the time it would be an improvment. To be fair I probably use them both differently so its hard to compare directly.
doddsie
17:19:27
@maccast Sorry that was *no not 100% of the time

Thanks @doddsie understood. Like I said I'm all for using the thing that works for you and gives you the best experience, so if A Lady is it more power to you!

@maccast One area I would like to see siri improve is dictation of short messages.
DeepPan
17:29:20
