i wonder how many of them are like 100% of my requests?
- "set a timer for 14 minutes"
- "remind me to make a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon"
- "turn off the bedroom lights"
that don't require any form of AI and have functioned perfectly well (aside from having a hard time when i mumble) for years on non-AI versions of Siri?
I suspect even some of the more "advanced" queries they demoed off, i.e., "what was that restaurant John and I talked about last week?" also not require LLMs whatsoever and could have been accomplished with a simple search.
Yeah, I’ll wait to update my computers until Apple gives us an actual choice.
Time to permanently offboard from Apple ecosystem then
Off topic. Since old.reddit is now login walled - is there an alternative frontend?

This type of stuff gives me PTSD flashbacks from trying timo de-crapify Windows.
I am tired to fight against every platform that I have to use

Can we expect sane decisions from corpos about what we want rather than what latest thing they want to push on us?
no. buy a linux compatible laptop and deal with the UX downgrade.
Apple says their users make 2.5B Siri requests per day. Sounds like people want it?
Do they have a breakdown for platforms? iOS vs. macOS, I'd bet most of it is iOS.
I don't have Siri enabled, I've never felt the need for it on desktop.
Even though I do use it, a choice would be nice.
Are they aware?
How many apple devices exist globally?
Does everyone use siri? How about keeping it opt-in?

I think you're going to need some kind of ML to turn that question into a structured search.
This matches my use cases. Poor speech to text recognition so I don't trust siri to do anything non-trivial
KDE. KDE is all you need.
One arguably don’t even need KDE any more; the coding models will throw together a perfectly adequate desktop environment.
You don't need to. Use the alternatives.
