Re:Using ultrasound attack to disarm a smart-home system by jon-wood on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @08:49AM (#35453244)
This has been driving me mad. It seems certain actions have had all audible feedback disabled, but there's no real sense to which ones.

When I say across a room to set a reminder or add something to my shopping list my Homepods will just silently do so, with no indication but a flash of the screen. I have no idea if it's registered what I was saying or not.

When I ask to turn on the lights in a room, it'll do a bing-bong noise at me to indicate that it's registered despite the fact I can see the lights turning on. It's utter nonsense.
