I think I finally figured out why Apple should put cameras in AirPods. The only good reason:

Conversation Awareness…with Dog Mode.

Never turn down the volume if AirPods detect I'm talking to my dogs.

Make it happen Ternus

@viticci Just have dog as a category for an airtag and don't turn down the volume if you're talking near it.

@t_var_s @viticci geofencing doesn’t seem precise enough. If I’m in the kitchen and I respond to my wife will it not turn off because my dogs are in the room over? What if I’m walking the dog and someone is trying to talk to me?

@viticci come on man, that’s cat erasure!

@mladen @viticci Cats don't care.

@viticci Neat but what about sign language translation!

@viticci I don’t even have a dog but I want this.

@viticci Or they could detect if no one people are around. And maybe, just MAYBE, I'm singing along to the music I'm listening to.

@quiddle @viticci yeah, I turned that ridiculously stupid feature off the second I couldn’t sing to myself and not have the volume decrease. That feature is totally broken.

@viticci I don’t have a dog, but would love if it could tell when I’m just singing along…
Show threadGreg LucasMar 30
@viticci Although other people might think that the music stopping if I start to sing is a feature…🤔

@glucas @viticci FUCKING HELL I HATE CONVO MODE FOR THAT REASON ALONE.

No I don't want you to stop the fucking podcast, I’MLAUGHINGAAAAH!

@viticci I talk to myself too much and have to turn off the equivalent feature in my Sony 1000xm4 headphones because otherwise it's constantly ducking my music or podcasts as I rant to myself

@viticci this is the sole reason I turned it off
Show threadEugene KimMar 30
@viticci Ha I had to turn it off almost immediately just because of that!
Show threadJoseph HumfreyMar 30
@viticci lol I was literally thinking that this morning but for cat mode. It would be easier to detect because literally all I’m saying to my cat is meeeoooowwww! Meow meow? Meow meow meow MEOW meow 😺

@viticci Yeah but in the future Dogs will have Siri Translate™️ 🐶
