In the Carousel of Progress refurb, the Christmas turkey being burned is caused by an AWS outage instead of poor voice commands.

I'm probably the target audience for something like this and am here just to say this is a terrible idea. Be weird and awkward with real people! The privacy implications alone should turn people off from this.

Had a blast seeing Franz Ferdinand at House of Blues last week.
Used my AirPods Pro 3 in transparency mode and the sound was AMAZING and I could even have a conversation with my friends.
I have pretty good hearing but have a hard time having a conversation in a loud environment sometimes.

Saddened to hear that Jane Goodall has passed. Truly an inspirational woman who has long been a hero. May her memory be a blessing.

The iPhone 17 Pro did very well in the "hot day in a theme park" battery and thermal management test. I charged up around dinner time to give myself a bit of a cushion but probably could have made it without.
