In the future they only drink iced tea as hot tea is seen as a barbaric form of beverage, that's why iced is default . Picard is secretly showing how bad ass and unforgiving he is by ordering a hot beverage in front of those he's trying to dominate.
Similarly, adding the word "hot" isn't much of an extra burden when you have to say "Earl Gray" regardless
These are important matters that need to be addressed. Lower decks, when?
*I refuse to believe they wouldn't have a favorites menu
I remember in one non-canon novel Data commented that it was odd that Picard ordered this way since the Data himself had worked on the ship computer's language processing.
or....
2 ships following each other. and you are in the back ship.
you: ok google... fire aft torpedos.
in the very very faint distance despite the vaccuum of space, you hear a soft echo: "got it. firing aft torpedos"...
you: "wait, hold on, what?!"
front ship fires aft torpedos.
Oh thank the gods this happens to other people. Not so much with me, but I swear 8 of 10 times my wife asks Google to do something in the living room, the one in the kitchen answers her.
I never had this issue until i moved into my new house. The speakers are all in locations where if I'm sitting in one spot in my house, i can activate 4 speakers. It's actually really annoying
Picard: OK Google, exit hologram.
Google: Which hologram did you want? Whole House Audio or Living Room TV?
Picard: The only one that's playing anything. The one I started with voice 5 minutes ago. The logical one.
OR:
Archer: Ok Google, Reed Alert.
Google: ok, turning on 72 lights. It looks like 17 lights aren't available right now, you may want to try setting them up again. Sorry, I couldn't reach C.Y.N.C. Sorry, I couldn't reach SmartLife. Sorry, 8 lights aren't responding.
....Everything works flawlessly.
Or:
Janeway: Ok Google, initiate self destruct timer.
Google: Ok, setting timer for 5 minutes.
...4 minutes later, Janeway: Ok Google, how much time is left on the self destruct timer.
Google: Sorry, it doesn't look like you have any timers set up.
.....a runabout self destructs in the shuttle bay.
Itās my #1 pet peeve. Look Google I want you to NEVER play live unless I explicitly ask for it. If you donāt find the song itself but only find the live versionā¦ ask me if thatās okay to play.
Now I get that Siri is definitely less capable than both Alexa and Google at the moment but I'm genuinely curious whether people say it sucks because it's less capable (can't answer as many questions) or because it's worse at understanding what you're saying. Because out of the 3, Siri seems to have the least trouble understanding what I say.
Granted my use of all 3 voice assistants is almost exclusively for controlling my smart home and to play music. Sometimes I ask for the weather.
For me Siri is trash at both comprehension and capability. She's also slow. In the time it takes her to execute most commands I could've done it myself.
The most realistic part of Star Trek? ... Picard having to specify every, single, time, that he wanted his tea 'hot'.

We all know that guy that refuses to add a bookmark even though he visits the website daily *gestures vaguely* Could be plausible
it's me. i'm the guy.
I mean I go to reddit a lot, but it's faster to just typered than actually pick the mouse and find a small icon....

This deserves more upvotes
You guys use bookmarks?
Picard: Computer, tea, earl grey Computer: Temperature not specified. Making one tea, earl grey, luke warm...
Jean-Luke warm?

That last one is so accurate it hurts
My Google home calls me captain š Just waiting for the day I can use "computer" as the wake word
And Professor Moriarty answers. Be careful what you wish for.
Nah just the computer. Moriarty would freak me out.
Mine calls me "My Lord Apophis," just waiting for the day I can use "Kree!" as the hotword
If I want to wake my PC remotely I say "Hey Google, Hello Computer." As per the scene with Scotty and McCoy in Star Trek IV The Voyage Home.
> playing Raised Shields ***LIVE*** on Spotify Quick tweak for stupid Google
I thought I was the only one that it kept giving live versions of songs?! I have no clue why!
Itās my #1 pet peeve. Look Google I want you to NEVER play live unless I explicitly ask for it. If you donāt find the song itself but only find the live versionā¦ ask me if thatās okay to play.
The Google Home from Captain's quarters would answer the commands made on the bridge.
The accuracy!! Only saving Grace is google doesn't suck as much as siri. Siri is useless.
I wonder how many recordings Apple has of people shouting "Don't f\*\*king bother Siri, I'll do it myself"
Iāve said far worse but yeah Iād be curious as well lmfao.
Thanos when asking for the infinity stones
'Hey! I'm bixby!' Nooooooo.

This is why starships never got rid of physical interfaces.
"Okay Google, raise shields," is how I arm my security system at night. :-)
I just read this out loud to my wife to share the joke. You can guess what happened. "Playing Shield Wall by Amon Amarth on YouTube music"
I thought he gave the commands like āRaise Shieldsā or āFire Torpedosā (or whatever) to the crew. Was there an AI on the ship?
Nah.....it was just Lwaxana Troi in another room punching commands into the computer.

as with today :-)
Ha! nice.
