While I don't want Screen Time on my Mac, I do want Shortcuts. I just hope that a Marzapan implementation of Shortcuts isn't going to replace Automator completely. Partly just because I doubt it will have a Run Shell Script action that's as useful...

Apple has a patent filed for a name pronunciation system. I don't see this as a "help you pronounce" tool as a potential fix for Siri's ability to recognize and pronounce names in everyday use. I'm quite certain I'm not the only one who's had to adopt bizarre phonetic pronunciations of friend's names to get Siri to comply... here's hoping this makes it into production.

I've been enjoying the simiplicity of "Hey Siri, what song is this," and I think that Apple going ahead and outright acquiring Shazam is a prudent business move.
