In a hilarious turn of events, I think Microsoft should make a smart speaker running a version of ChatGPT and some voice recognition software.

It’s quite a different story here in Finland, because Siri is the ONLY virtual assistant that understands Finnish. So the HomePod is by far the best smart speaker that is available here in Finland 😄

Wow the improvement in the way it stains wooden tables is amazing!! That's some Apple engineering right there. Now you can tell what model of Homepod someone has just by looking at their tables.

An other good effect is that now suddenly 1st gen Homepods can be found way cheaper, as a month ago they were still selling for almost retail price... Now I'll be able to find an used one to pair it with mine and have a very good stereo speaker system for my bedroom !

"At least Siri sucks seamlessly on a smart speaker that sounds sweet..." is a brilliant piece of alliteration and deserves more credit than it's getting. 👏🏻
