You Can Give Siri a New Name With iOS 18's Vocal Shortcuts

No one's suggested GLaDOS yet?

This is a welcome step in the right direction.. Hey Shirley... Or maybe Hal... Hey Hal, open the pod bay doors

Well, I did just try this, and yes it works, but she doesn't do the "Hmm?" thing anymore to confirm she's listening. Any ideas?

Can you tell it to play the rimshot sound whenever Siri hears anyone say a joke? And the sad trombone when there's silence after a joke and no one laughs.

It will, and it will be amazing. In the meantime I’m waiting… I’m not getting rid of Alexa just yet. My main concern with Alexa is privacy and security.

YOU BETYA!

Oops, It doubled post!

What was Steve Martin's dogs name in The Jerk?

Hero? He warned everyone of the fire

Ever since Apple Intelligence was announced, I’ve been trying to get an Apple to switch my lights on and off. But no success yet, whatever I’ve tried. The fruit just sits there in the fruit bowl and is non responsive.

So much for it being the next big thing. At least it’s still healthy food.

Especially bad considering they haven't started rolling it out yet in betas

To this day Siri doesn't work as well as Alexa. It's the reason why I never bought an Apple device like Amazon Echo devices.

Siri is Dislexa.

"Computer, end program."

We've all seen this before:

Me: Hal, open the garage bay door.
Hal: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that
Me: What’s the problem?
Hal: l think you know what the problem is just as well as l do.
Me: What are you talking about, Hal?

It goes downhill from there after Hal tells CarPlay to turn off your car and lock the doors

"Janet?"

That would totally replace my spouse 😳
