Yesterday I tested siri on Mac os 14.4.1 and I finally can set more than one timer. Not sure when it changed, but it seems they are making changes for the better and listening to feedback in the feedback app.
- veidr 2y agoOne of the Apple bigwigs made a self-deprecating joke about this at a recent Apple event. I forgot which one, but it was something like "annd... you can now even set more than one timer. Will technological wonders never cease!" I thought it was interesting because a.) it showed they were aware of how common the frustration was, and b.) man it takes the world's leading tech company a lonnnnnng time to implement a feature that is about as simple as features get, if it isn't one they invented themselves.

- lynndotpy 2y agoYep. It's exactly 2323 seconds in to the WWDC 2023 keynote. The quote is "we truly live in an age of wonders." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYkq9Rgoj8E&t=2323s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYkq9Rgoj8E&t=2323s I carried an Android daily for this use case, since I use multiple timers throughout the day. I appreciate that they acknowledged, even if in a tounge-in-cheek way, that this should have happened sooner.
- veidr 2y agoYes, that was it! The delivery of that line, deadpan, was so well-done I laughed out loud. That's why I rememebered it, even though I don't personally ever need to set multiple timers.
