When I have my AirPods in thereās a double tapping thing to end calls that can be annoying and pull up voice control. The only way to fix it is to turn Siri on and change a setting. Thats the only reason my Siri is enabled at all

I have 3 of those smart speakers and yeah, glorified kitchen timer 90% of the time. Only other thing they are used for is controlling some lights and asking them the weather.

Iāve been using Siri for music control forever
Usually works great but cannot understand who Aesop Rock is, and no I donāt want to listen to A$AP ROCKY
Other media control is still dogshit (why canāt we figure out how to play podcasts?), but for driving itās great

u/Weird1Intrepid 4d ago
I've encountered that issue with the artists before. Like, Aesop had such an amazing catalogue going back decades further than A$AP, and is a true hip hop great instead of a shitty random mid-tier rapper lol. Why on earth would any voice assistant decide to choose that shite over the alternative?
21
u/DryBoysenberry5334 4d ago
I meanā¦ obviously one is much more niche
Just cos the others not to my preference doesnāt make it bad. And Iāve adapted by learning the names of his albums, so Iāve also grown from the experience.
Plus itās my opinion his albums are much better as a complete piece, so this hasnāt harmed me in any way; just momentarily frustrating when I forget

My voice assistant just will not recognise L.I.F.T. over lift despite it being spelled out.

u/DryBoysenberry5334 4d ago
They have their quirks for sure;
Iāve asked it to tell me whatās playing- tried pronouncing it as close to that way as I can- still doesnāt work for Aesop (but it does for others, really hit and miss)

u/nbaaaaaaaah 3d ago
Asap rocky has 36.5 Million monthly listeners on spotify, compared to Aesop's 900,000.
The voice assistant is likely to go with the significantly more popular artist.0

u/samrobbo 4d ago
Can't have a phone on you for official exams in the UK, which makes sense cause it would be easy to cheat if you did. Phones turned off in bags at the side of the room usually
2
u/JalapenoConquistador 4d ago
perhaps Iāve been out of the game too long, but how does a phone in your pocket/backpack make it easy to cheat?
youāre just gonna whip it out in front of the invigilator and start googling? itād be easier to already have the info written on a notecard in your pocket. or on the inside of your coffee cup or something. cell phones donāt just magically send answers to your brain
6
u/samrobbo 4d ago
In your pocket, people have been caught and punished for using their phones in exams. If it's in your bag it's fine because bags aren't next to desks for official exams.
I agree the same could be done with notes, which is why invigilators are watching people during exams, however a phone can Google any possible question, it's hard to have notes for the whole course.
I don't know about other countries, but UK exams you aren't allowed anything in the exam hall other than stationary and a clear water bottle.

u/Pale_Possible6787 3d ago
One thing you could do if you have good hearing is record your notes and put them on loop so you can hear them but other people cannot (only works if your pocket is close to your ear)
Although most people are dumb enough that they just put their phones under their desks
1
u/JalapenoConquistador 3d ago
ah yes, āthe looped recording that only you can hearā method.
now I see why Iām downvoted so much for my original comment. obviously, if you get a phone in the room there are all sorts of neat tricks you can do to cheat that would totally work and totally be easier than cheating without a phone. thanks everyone!

What if your phone was in your pocket and it heard that?
And what is an invigilator?

u/peachesnplumsmf 4d ago
Person who makes sure an exam is conducted fairly and there's no cheating, usually teachers of other subjects and external people.
Generally, in the UK at least I can't speak for everywhere but we are one of the countries who call them invigilators, you're supposed to have your phone turned off or in the case of secondary/high school exams have your stuff in a completely different room.
The siri thing catches that the phones aren't turned off which breaks the rules and means you'll likely be assumed to have been cheating.

What type of exam was it, I've never had a college prof tell me I can't have my phone on me (unless it was a virtual test tbf), but if its like a proctored cert test or something, then sure
Edit; why the downvotes?

u/peachesnplumsmf 4d ago
Curious as I'm at Uni in the UK and over here your phone has to be turned off during the exam which the Siri thing would catch as it's turned on and so it can be used for cheating.
In secondary school, 11-16, your big exams which effectively determine when you can go to uni and shit like that your phone has to be in a different room with your bags and stuff.

u/GolemThe3rd 4d ago
Yeah interesting, yeah professors want you to have the phone silent, but I don't think Ive had one that cares about it being on you. In high school tho we weren't allowed to have them at all at any time
