• Siri is listening...

    So there I was, watching University Challenge, while behind me on the table my M4 iMac sat quietly on it's lock screen.
    In response to one question Siri starts up and answers the question. Don't
    know whether the answer was accurate because Amol Rajan and Siri were speaking at the same time and I was jumping out of my skin.

    That's quite funny, but I don't want it to happen, so I walked over to the computer and said "Hey Siri, how do I turn you off?"

    I got four replies as text boxes, all of them were about how to turn off a digital assistant, but three were about Microsoft Windows and one about Android.

    (I do know how to turn Siri off, but clearly Siri doesn't.)
