I can't be the only person who has gotten legitimately pi**ed off at a voice assistant.
You ask Siri to turn on the patio lights. Nothing.
So you ask again.
But this time you say the exact same words slower, louder and with a completely different accent because apparently that's going to fix it.
By the third attempt you're arguing with your own house.
John Savio made a pretty funny distinction during Episode 22. Most of us don't really have smart homes. We have a collection of smart devices that may or may not cooperate with each other depending on the day.
What he builds is something completely different, where the technology is actually integrated into the house and designed to work together.
Which sounds great.
I'd personally settle for the patio lights coming on the first f*cking time.
