I am honestly surprised it isn't there. Oh, wait never mind they will release that next year!

I"m trying to go in the opposite direction, and find a way to turn off the microphone permanently. Maybe I should ask Siri.
I sure don't, but apparently a lot of people do. In 2015 Apple was getting over 1 billion Siri requests a week. Wow.

Too bad so sad for those folks who have become accustomed to using Cmd+Space to bring up Spotlight.
Edit: Reading another thread, I see this option is user-configurable. Is that right?

Let's not confuse your opinion with facts (or data)...
Craig Federighi said at the WWDC 2015 keynote presentation that Siri gets over 1 billion requests a week. That was last year, it probably gets more requests nowadays.
I'm sure many ding dongs out there think that it's one person at Apple is generating all those requests to rationalize their brilliant opinions.
I'm curious to see it in action. With a hot key I can initiate a search while typing a document or something.
It really depends on the specificity and the familiarity of the task. The more specific or familiar a task, the less useful Siri is. I really sense that people who don't know their way around a computer are for going to love this though. Not everyone is a fast typist or really knows how to find what they're looking for.
I'll be watching my parents closely after I upgrade them. I'm also curious about how well children can use it.
Excuse me but am I the only one who didn't see Siri doing anything?
I saw an explanation on how Siri should work but no Siri actually working.

Hard to imagine that people can do different things differently. Clearly the whole world has been doing things the same way throughout the whole history.

Nah, little kids mainly love witty attempts at commentary.

Just not for many others.

Because Apple decided it's greener to recycle rather than repair an otherwise perfectly fine Mac once your RAM, SSD/HDD/FD or battery dies.
At least the data center I'm forced to communicate with to set your timer for pasta runs on 100% renewable energy.
Please don't ask me about energy consumption for solar panel or aluminum production.

I'm not sure I don't have the beta.
Wait, cmd and space doesn't bring up Siri does it??
WWDC 2016 apple quote "Siri, which now services over 2 billion requests per day,"
wonder how may of those are 2nd & 3rd etc repeat questions / requests though! this helps:

I am not upgrading to macOS Sierra or even downloading the Dev Copy from developer.apple.com (Registered Developer). I've got some serious holdups about several of the key features. Apparently, as of now, the 'Gatekeeper' controls will not let you run non-Apple signed 3rd party apps, at all. There is a new filesystem and I am worried, especially in these pre-beta stages it will have flaws and create problems. Thirdly, I am concerned about the privacy and security of Siri as the Siri feature records and saves each voice command as a voice recording on Apple servers, and saves every single one, for their use. That's not privacy. And it all has me a bit concerned. I am holding off on Sierra for now and sticking with El Capitan, which is running pretty rock solid on my side. If Apple promises it's stable and won't bork your system, and opens up Gatekeeper to allow 3rd party apps, I might consider it. But I will test it on a test machine first (MacBook Pro) and not my Desktop. I have upgraded to Developer Previews before, been severely disappointed, and found it a nearly impossible task to restore my older system. I'm not putting this on my main machine as Dev Preview 1. Bad Mistake made. The finals all turned out fine. Late beta stages they get much better.
