I’m pretty sure that, in my experience with HomePods, ’s success rate has dropped below 50%

In ’s defense:

  • they sell their products with razor thin profit margins
  • they’re a small startup with a handful of employees
  • they have very little capital to invest in improving Siri
  • it’s not like they introduced Siri over 12 years ago

Someone on Reddit 3D printed this HomePod mini plug/stand.

This is a GREAT idea. This sort of thing on sale anywhere?

Might just try this. ❤️

Leaked images show that Apple may put a display on its HomePod smart speaker. Tech Radar has more: https://flip.it/1FGbj5

Damn.

Guess we’ll be talking about this on “The Dalrymple Report” we record tomorrow:

Jim:
“Siri has done what no person could for 30 years: Make me stop using an Apple product.

I am giving up on my 8 HomePods/minis out of the sheer frustration of trying to use Siri.

I’ve been in tech for 30 years and this is one of the worst technologies ever and only getting worse”

😮

There’s far too little public complaining about Apple #HomePod. It must be the least functional product they make. I have a new HomePod and a HomePod mini, I use them every day, and I experience a “not working” event probably once every two days. WiFi is hard, I guess?

Follow-up: Does anyone have any recommendations for #HomePod alternatives? I don’t care much about smart speaker functionality (although I like the HomeKit integration), so I really just need good quality #AirPlay speakers that don’t require 10-20 minutes of daily troubleshooting. Help?
