I unplugged mine a few weeks ago. I realized literally the only thing I use it for is occasionally finding my phone.. besides that, it fucks up basically every instruction I give it

It works reasonably well for timers, alarms and weather.

Except that it ALWAYS continues to listen after the command and you have to yell at it to fuck off.

Oh really? I can no longer get it to set a recurring alarm every monday through thursday. It's just not understanding any of the commands there that it did before.
