You broke the only frigging useful part of Siri. But, hey, at least I can text stickers and shit to people.

ETA: Drive is Google Drive, by the way.

Are you sure they didn’t take away that function to be courageous?

“Man up and have the courage to text while driving.”

Oh but don’t worry it’ll work with I message on mac now. Yes they added Siri to OSX. And I never use it.

This is the company that wants me to upload my entire hard drive to the cloud and then let it selectively delete files off of my hard drive that it doesn’t think I’ll use.

And also to convert my 70GB of photos to low resolution copies and trust the originals with their cloud servers.

Seriously, who thought that Siri is even slightly useful on a Mac?

They’re really going after McLaren in an attempt to start removing 3.5mm jacks from vehicles next.

......and my Square credit card reader will not work on the new iPhones because of no headphone jack. Does anyone at Apple live in the real world?

That’s strange. I use Google Drive on my iPhone, and it’s letting me text via Siri.

Having the courage to remove ancient technology like AUX input will allow cars to be .0098% thinner.

Their parser seems to have trouble with certain constructions. If I say “text and say that’s a very long drive” there’s no problem. But for some reason, it interprets “drive” followed by a verb as an action for the app, regardless of what comes in front.

Does it work if you use the exact phrase in the photos above?

You should have the courage to switch to a method that accepts Apple Pay.

I've heard it'll work with the adapter. You should be using the chip reader for security anyway. I keep my swiper on the off chance someone doesn't have a chip but I haven't run into that.

I don’t know. It’s only because Microsoft added Cortana to Win10. That’s another rant but I won’t get into that.

I’ll do that when you send all your stuff to the cloud.

Try to just say “Hey Siri send a text message to Mary Drive Safely” instead of telling her “and say”. See what happens

Don’t know if it makes a difference, but when I use Siri to text I just say “text (name) (contents of text) I don’t say “send a message” or “and say”
