yeah I did this almost 30 years ago and could recite it from scratch, haven’t made a cable since hs

Ok google, make it stop

Yeah in theory but not if I tell it when to set the alarm off. It’s just useless pedantry. Like your virtual assistant is a redditor or something

Ok I’ve tossed this comment around in my head a few times, and I can’t fathom why you bothered to make it. What the fuck is the difference between an alarm that goes off at 9:15 and a timer that goes off at 9:15?

Yeah I understand, I got the lecture from Siri.

The point is all timers are alarms, the end result of a timer going off is an alarm. If I’m cooking and I realize the rice has been on for about 7 minutes so it should finish up at 9:15, then that’s how I’m thinking about it, not doing the math to figure out what the specific number of minutes is between now and 9:15. That’s the goddamned robot’s job.

“Set a timer that goes off at 9:15 am”

*It proceeds to lecture me on the difference between an alarm and a timer, also, sets neither. *
