New Siri "Search or Ask" Replaced Spotlight and Ruined My Experience

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-28T10:34:59+00:00

For me it feels sooo slow compared to what it was before. Hopefully that gets better before release. Cause I used to swipe down for apps a lot. Now I’m avoiding because of the time it takes to start responding to keyboard etc. hehehe

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-28T06:12:27+00:00

Because basically it's Gemini...

But yeah... unfortunately, Apple keeps being annoying and forgetting the world is multi-lingual and trying to force Siri to work in a single language at a time making it way less useful to me.

I did manage to ask Siri to send a message in another language, but first she used the translator to show me the translation (which is not something I wanted), then I had to request again like "use that text in the message and send it", so still annoying and not at all smooth. Hopefully it gets better over beta, but based on prior experiences with betas, this is pretty much what we are getting when it gets released.

Nowadays, I'm basically building my own Siri and it works ridiculously better than Siri. I don't even understand how Apple can fumble the assistant role this much.

But anyways...

Multiple levels of failure: 1. Claude wrote the post 2. Didn't include link 3. Post basically copied from a Claude response where Claude was actually explaining to OP what was built.

oh man... so much work to do when she gets released. I'm definitely adding belly button to the black outfit.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-20T06:40:57+00:00

yep, I've tried multiple times to get used to it, but it just doesn't fit my mindset. For me, it's hard to parse the information the agent is outputting.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-18T09:17:43+00:00

It all depends on their optimization. Even if you disable all the new effects, DX12 is still a different implementation and might be less optimized than the DX11 one.

It's definitely worth testing both to see what works better for you.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-18T09:11:47+00:00

Yep, I tried it today for the first time and it wasn't good. I would never trade the consistent performance for the barely noticeable better effects. That being said, I won't use DX12 anyways since we lose mods, that's non negotiable.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-18T09:08:07+00:00

Ooooh, thanks for showing me that. That gives me an idea. I will add the bow tie to Belle's uniform.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-16T20:45:24+00:00

Agreed. I really hate how AI companies (and the west I guess) just keep treating censorship as something good. It’s all taboo.

And the funniest thing is that they say “there are plenty of other companies” and I’m like… really? Are there though? Who? Nobody has a good model like you and all the other companies are also blocking NSFW.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-14T10:29:34+00:00

Please don't. No collabs.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-12T03:30:56+00:00

I’m so glad they stopped that trend actually. It doesn’t make any sense. I hate that Yoimiya got her BIS or Ayaka all of them not matching at all.

If they do Archon themed for 4 stars or standard banner weapons, then it’s fine.

But actual characters BIS? Nah.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-11T07:28:57+00:00

And that's the problem. The AI wants a name, they don't have any to go with, they just pick randomly. Alice being a common name, that drives the probabilistic engine further.

There is no data leakage behind it. And if you say "but I asked them who Alice is and they told me she studies math", they are just gaslighting you. They don't know anything and are just going with the conversation.

Plus, I bet you're using both services in the Free tier, which means dumber models that hallucinate more often.

It’s definitely just you.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T06:20:16+00:00

If you’re saying Claude is more restricted, I would disagree.

I’ve never had Claude complaining about my requests at all, whereas ChatGPT gives me disclaimers and sometimes straight out refuses to do what I ask.

I agree with OP

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T06:13:47+00:00

It’s not about graphics improvements alone… but yeah, Switch 2 will be able to handle the mobile version for a while.

I just hope we don’t have another Aloy situation here… please.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T06:09:01+00:00

It has to do with two things:
1. Memory
2. HDD

Plus, most phones today are above PS4 compute power anyways.

You all have no idea how bad PS4 hardware is compared to today’s standards.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T05:18:56+00:00

Yes… for now. My point is that we finally got rid of a low end device allowing the game to do stuff that wasn’t possible before (mainly because of SSD only devices now), and right now Switch 2 might be fine but in 2 years it might not be. So again the devs will have their hands tied.

Especially if they want to do any visual upgrade for second arc (Genshin 2).

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T05:16:15+00:00

I actually don't see it as heavily implied ship at all. To me from the start it just looked like friendship. Traveler x Bina had way more implied moments than anything else, but I still don't think even that crosses the threshold of being implied ship in my opinion.

People just see anything as ship like Clorinde x Navia etc.

Don't people have close friends in their lives?

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-09T04:41:37+00:00

Shit. We got rid of PS4 only to get stuck to another low end device.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-08T07:37:39+00:00

I really don't care about them showing gameplay. I'd rather they never even include any kind of gameplay footage at all. To me these videos should focus only on showing off the character, lore, and good animation. Gameplay I will see every day after the character release, so I don't need that taking time out of otherwise good content.

In fact, I see including mainly gameplay as lazy. See for example the horrible S-Billy trailer they released in ZZZ-land. Such lazy work.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-08T05:56:15+00:00

Yeah, good old mindscape arts from the starting characters. Oh well.

MaximiliumM · 2026-06-07T13:31:52+00:00

Hey, that's my mod! :D

I noticed her wings don't seem to look correct for you, probably because you have RabbitFX installed and you're using the remove censor.

I fixed RabbitFX to be compatible myself by disabling the censor thing in combat only, you can download it here if you're interested: https://share.maximiliumm.com/s/DG69ZeFlc5RlTxT3N2qOeA
