I unplugged mine a few weeks ago. I realized literally the only thing I use it for is occasionally finding my phone… besides that, it fucks up basically every instruction I give it

It works reasonably well for timers, alarms and weather.

Mine is a glorified kitchen timer that occasionally plays Spotify while I do dishes.

Except that it ALWAYS continues to listen after the command and you have to yell at it to fuck off.

Oh really? I can no longer get it to set a recurring alarm every monday through thursday. It’s just not understanding any of the commands there that it did before.
