WHY THE FUCK does Siri on a HomePod have to go to the FUCKING INTERNET to turn off a FUCKING LIGHT in the SAME FUCKING HOUSE? That’s rank fucking incompetence and it’s been tolerated—nay, enabled—by a complacent press for way too fucking long. You could do this in the mid-late 1990s on a PowerMac without round-trips.

@eschaton Didn’t they brag about how much processing power they had for offline Siri requests at one point? Did that just go away like QA and decades of UX wisdom?
