Apple Cut Frequencies in WWDC Keynote to Prevent Siri Activations

Apple appears to have modified the audio of this week's WWDC 2026 keynote video whenever "Siri" was mentioned, apparently in an effort to...

MacRumors
@dmoren well, look on the bright side — TIL Win+V. This will be nice to use at work.
@marcoarment Nah, this is peak 3D-Printing Dad 🤪. I just got back from “DroidCon” and there were several who recognized my ATP merch. Nerds!
@palmin Nice! My landing page at hofferth.net is a super lightweight static page hosted on my Fastmail WebDAV space. This will be nice to help manage it. On the Mac I use Transmit, but there’s not a great solution on iOS (using Koder, meh).
@marcoarment @siracusa oh look, someone is from the mainland
@marcoarment @caseyliss @siracusa @atpfm for context, similar to a VR version of PhoenixRC or RealFlight on PC.

@marcoarment @caseyliss @siracusa Holy cow, @atpfm 691 made me try using Claude Code.

Not a dev, but I now have a totally playable, functional RC flight simulator running in my Vision Pro. Still tweaking the (physics-based) flight model, but it feels totally legit to play < 2 hrs from starting.

Motor and wind noise comes from the aircraft and is speed/throttle/position dependent.

Xbox controller for now; actual RC transmitter next, via USB to Mac helper app -> Bonjour data to the VP.

@timo I’m not “in the biz” professionally but have bought and used/deployed a healthy handful of Blackmagic stuff at home, work, and church as the AV guy. Very satisfied/impressed in all cases.

But… I can’t defend the idea as being a good thing for any or all stakeholders. Often these can and do end up ruining a good thing.

This was just the first possibility that came to mind when I listened to that segment on this week’s @upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

@imyke @jsnell My random suggestion for a Ternus acquisition: Blackmagic Design. Can you imagine the confidence that would give the Pro market? Make it the Apple Studio Division, use the hardware ecosystem and Davinci Resolve to reclaim momentum lost to Avid/Premiere.
