Wilfredo Sánchez, on Twitter:
Common HomePod interaction of late:
—Hey Siri, can you set a timer?
—How long?
—5 minutes
—…Hrm … this is taking a while … I didn’t hear back.HEAR BACK FROM WHOM SIRI? THE TIMER POLICE? MY TIMER BANK? TELL ME.
I set timers using the HomePods in my kitchen frequently, have run into this same interaction, and wondered the same thing. And then my wife tells me, “Why don’t you just use Alexa?”
