Siri excels at setting a hot dog done timer with my voice. That’s good, right?

- resource0x 3y agoAnd you want it to do what? Fill out your taxes? This is a one-trick pony by design. :-)
- bombcar 3y agoTell me your secrets. I’ll practice it in your voice, your language, whatever. I get a time about half the time, and then if I immediately ask how much left on the timer, Siri informs me there are no timers. Which then promptly goes off.
- camjohnson26 3y agoI set timers for 49 minutes frequently because Siri will hear 15 instead of 50
- bombcar 3y agoReminds me of hitting 99 seconds on the microwave because it’s easier to enter than 1 minute 30.
- euroderf 3y agoOne of the more obnoxious "features " of English.
- blitzar 3y agoIronically when I want a 15 minute timer, I get given 50 a lot of the time... 14 and 40 are also problematic. I figure I am just holding it wrong.
- Tiktaalik 3y agoYou can get around this by asking Siri for a timer for "one five" minutes and "five zero" minutes. (Folks irl do this too... damn you english language...)
- bombcar 3y agoReminds me that emergency services are adamant about not calling it (as in the song): So they called nine-eleven, like any piggy would The sent out Rambo, just as fast, as they could Because in a stressful situation, people would literally get hung up looking for the "11" key on the phone.
- barkingcat 3y agohow long do you set your hot dog done timer for? do you cook it until plump? usually my dogs split, probably with too high temperature?
