How to turn on siri voice command
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One thing Apple didn’t include here is a way to trigger Siri by voice. Siri can be triggered through an icon in the dock, icon in the menu bar or a user-specified keyboard command. With macOS Sierra, Apple’s personal assistant is available on Macs for the first time. Serenity Caldwell contributed to an earlier version of this guide.It has been rumored for a couple of years now that Siri will come to Mac. Updated August 2019: Updated watchOS 6 and iOS 13 (currently in beta). If it's not a task the Apple Watch can handle, Siri will automatically offer to switch you over to your iPhone. Once this is enabled, you'll be able to use Siri on your Apple Watch to ask for just about anything. Scroll down to the Enable Handoff section and tap the switch to enable the feature. You can quickly enable Handoff for your Apple Watch from the Watch app on your iPhone if it's not already set up.

Instead, it will redirect you to your iPhone and "automagically" transfer your request. There are some things that Apple Watch just can't accomplish, given its small screen. Handoff lets you start an action on one device and finish it on another. How to use Handoff to switch from Siri on your Apple Watch to your iPhone
Everything Siri can do on your Apple Watch.
Here's a quick overview of what Siri can (and can't) do on the Apple Watch. Watch Siri may not be quite as full-featured as iPhone Siri, but your digital assistant can still do a bunch of tasks - and chat with its iPhone buddy when otherwise at a loss. Instead, you can reset the process by briefly putting your palm over the screen to turn it off, then re-raising your wrist (or pressing on the display) to wake it, followed by "Hey Siri." Everything Siri can do on your Apple Watch Unfortunately, that can make "Hey Siri" a little frustrating if you have your screen configured to wake on wrist raise and don't get the phrase out quickly enough. To save battery, the Apple Watch only listens for the "Hey Siri" on-screen wake. Make "Hey Siri" work more reliably with screen taps (This is especially helpful in noisy environments, where Siri doesn't always know when you're finished speaking.) 2. This trick completely changed my Siri usage for the better: While not required, I recommend continuing to hold the Digital Crown in while speaking your query, to make sure Siri understands your full statement. Force Siri to listen by keeping the Digital Crown pressed down Here are a few tips I've found for getting Siri to work more reliably-and not cut you off mid-sentence. Thanks to room noise and other external factors, Siri doesn't always trigger reliably on the watch. How to use the Siri watch face on your Apple Watch How to quickly and reliably trigger Siri Not only will it give you a customized Siri button straight on your watch face, but it also intelligently pulls in data from your calendars, photos, and more, and provides information, like upcoming weather and Wallet passes, to you. You can also create a specialized Siri watch face.
Go to the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
(Unfortunately, there's no way to change the volume of Siri's voice - it's either an on or off situation.) How to turn off Siri's voice on Apple Watchĭon't like hearing Siri on your Apple Watch? It's a quick fix. Note: You may have to connect to Wi-Fi to download additional voices. Here's how to change your assistant's voice. But Apple Watch Series 3 and later models offer a more verbal Siri, who talks to you in response to your queries. On the Apple Watch Series 2 or earlier, your Apple Watch is always silent when talking with you - you'll only see text in response to a query. How to change Siri's voice on Apple Watch
State your question or command to Siri.
Note: Hey Siri will only activate in the first few seconds that your Apple Watch screen is on - if you're not getting it to work, keep this in mind! How to manually activate Siri on your Apple Watch
Raise your Apple Watch to your face (or, if you have wrist raise disabled, tap on the screen to wake your watch).
Tumblr media
How to use "Hey Siri" on your Apple Watch During this time, you can let your arm drop back to its normal position - your watch will tap you on the wrist when Siri has finished processing. If you have an Apple Watch Series 4 GPS-only watch or earlier, all Siri queries are processed via your iPhone or a remembered Wi-Fi network: If you don't have a strong connection with either your iPhone or the Wi-Fi network, your Apple Watch will be unable to process your command.Īpple Watch Series 3 and 4 GPS + Cellular models can use connections from your iPhone or Wi-Fi, but they can also directly connect to LTE to process Siri questions, making them a bit speedier in delivering you results.ĭepending on your connection, Siri may take a few moments to process properly after speaking, Siri may prompt you with a quick "Hang on." or "I'll tap you when I'm ready" before responding.

✨Pairing: CEO!Curtis Everettxblack!reader
🪄Summary: Curtis has had enough
🚨: 18+ NO MINORS!, soft!dark Curtis maybe???, cheating (do not condone in real life, however for this plot…👀), mention of past adult happy fun times (everyone please be safe!), fingering (female receiving), verbal abuse, language
🎤: this is my submission for Siri’s Birthday Bonenanza! Happy belated birthday @stargazingfangirl18 !! I hope you had an amazing bday with lots of cake, presents, love, and any and everything else you desire💐🎂!!
Prompts:
Scenario: Babe is doing this for your own good
Dialogue: “Do you know how long I’ve waited for this?”
Kink Prompt: possessive!babe, squirting
Trope Prompt: scary,dangerous babe who is only soft with you (Curtis isn’t really dangerous tho, but you’ll see)
*DISCLAIMER!: I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF PICTURES USED as they were found via Pinterest*
At the sudden ‘click’ of the door closing, you’re startled; quickly turning towards the sound to find one of the reasons you felt the need for space from the festivities downstairs. Dressed in all black - from the button up spanning his firm chest to his impeccable slacks and polished designer shoes - it’s as if he walked straight out of GQ how dashing and handsome he looked.
Then again, when did he not?
“Didn’t mean to scare you.” His deep voice never fails to send tingles shooting down your spine. Have you embarrassingly willing to move at his command if he gave it.
“It’s okay. I-I should probably get back anyway.”
“To get ignored by your husband some more?,” he asks just as you pass him. His words make you pause with your shoulders just mere inches apart.
“Curtis..”
“He’s so busy smiling in everybody’s face and trying to be buddy-buddy with my associates, he hasn’t even noticed his own wife is gone. Then again…maybe he doesn’t want to.”
You didn’t want to come tonight. Tired from work and not in the mood to fake laugh at middle aged men who thought they were funny, you practically begged your husband to leave you home.
“You’re so fucking selfish you know that? This is my chance to make necessary connections to very important people.”
“Then you go Wes! Me being there won’t change that.”
He only kissed his teeth, tossing one of your purses at you and not caring of the scattered contents he left. “Be ready by 6 or I’ll get you ready myself.”
It was foolish to hope things would be different this time. You should know Wes would never arrive at anything having to do with business without his self proclaimed ‘good luck charm’. His trophy wife he used to sell this illusion that he was the man that had it all, so rejecting him would only hurt you.
And that’s not to say your husband didn’t deserve success - he was brilliant in his own right. It’s why Curtis himself decided to invest in Wes’ company and was his highest investor to date. But he saw past the illusion, and quickly saw the man he really was.
Which is how your complicated pairing began.
As he steps closer you hate how your body responds: eagerly ready to cave at the closest feeling of home. The bourbon - his favorite - practically being tasted in your own mouth as the smell wafts from his pink lips so close to yours. It mixes well with the spice from his cologne only making your head begin to swim and want to suffocate yourself in his neck.
His thick finger reaches out to trace the delicate gold chain on the necklace perfectly sat just below your collarbones. The small diamonds not equally spaced apart, but set in such a way it reminded you of twinkling stars in the night sky. It’s simple, but fitting for you. You were never the type for lavish jewelry that could blind someone a mile away, and from your short time together Curtis knew that.
“Knew it’d look beautiful on you,” he whispers letting the pad of his finger carry further until he was skimming your collarbone and causing you to shudder.
“I’m still married,” you practically have to force from your soul trying to stop your body from pressing against his. Stop your brain from turning to mush so he could have his way with you. Again.
His jaw ticks. “Why, I don’t know.”
“Curtis please, okay? Besides, you’re supposed to be celebrating.” He gently nods letting the rest of the brown liquor drain down his throat - your eyes shamefully following the bob of his Adams apple and missing how it felt under your lips.
“Fine,” he breathes closing the remaining space so you have no choice but to clutch his shoulders to stop from losing your footing in your heels. Not that he’d let you fall from his muscular arm around your waist. His mouth lowering impossibly closer that depending on what either of you said, your lips would brush. “Celebrate with me.”
“I-I don’t think your date would like that.” Were you angry when you saw the onyx haired beauty on his arm? Far from it. Did you guiltily wish her butt length, model-esque hair would catch fire when she passed one of the candles on the various tables so she’d have to leave? Maybe.
“Here I was thinking I was the jealous one.” And there was that smirk that briefly showed the hidden mischief in this man carved by God himself. “Yes, she’s my plus one, but would be more interested in you than me. Not that I blame her.”
“I still can’t,” you whisper letting your nose tap against his. Slowly but surely you feel yourself becoming drunk off his presence and that will to stand strong diminishing.
“Can’t or shouldn’t?”
At that you’re stuck. Now solely focused on his lips and so badly wanting - needing - to taste them again. Curtis grins realizing this himself. “My eyes are up here sweetheart.”
“Wha?” You should feel embarrassed, but as the air from his nostrils fan your face it only seems to make you needier. And when he brings his hand up to caress your cheek, there’s nothing that can stop you from leaning into his touch. Even between your legs you feel that pulse begin to grow in urgency.
“Look me in the eyes,” Curtis begins slowly, “and tell me you don’t want me. That you’re done. You’ll never hear from me again.”
You try, genuinely try to maintain eye contact but his stormy blues dilated with lust and longing only overwhelms you. Overwhelms you in that you should be good and say you don’t, leave, and act as if none of this has happened but you don’t want to. Curtis has easily become a part of you that you can’t let go and truthfully refuse to do so.
In a blink, your lips are frantically crushing against each others. His tongue smoothly, yet still eager, to reclaim your mouth after being away for so long. Your mind quickly enters that haze you only seemed to experience with him, unable to realize your body is being guided somewhere until you’re perched on the edge of a wooden desk. Your hands gripping the back of his neck while his push your pastel blue mini dress up past your hips leaving your lower half exposed to the cool air of the room.
Finally needing to breathe, his lips descend to your jaw then your neck causing you to whine his name wanting more of his mouth on yours. A quiet “shh” is the only warning you get before his hands are spreading your thighs to find a steady growing wet spot on your panties. His fingertips immediately reach to tease along your waiting slit watching as you squirm and moan.
“My needy girl. Probably been forever since he’s touched you like this huh? Made you feel good..”
The back of your head softly thuds against the wall as you lean back on your elbows. Letting yourself get lost in his touches and how his thumb circles your little button through your thoroughly soaked underwear.
“Do you know how long I’ve waited for this? Know how much I’ve missed you and those little noises you make when you take anything I give you,” he huskily states nipping your earlobe. “My fingers. My tongue. Fuck, and when you take my cock..?”
“Curtis,” you gasp nearly ready to guide his fingers inside you yourself to get that relief you now crave. As always, he knows what you need bringing your delicates swiftly down your legs to circle his middle finger around your dripping hole before plunging deep. The extended moan from your lips directly hitting his cock and making his pants feel tighter.
His ring finger soon joins as they steadily pump in and out. Not having been intimate with your own husband for a while now, you feel pathetic already being so close. Curtis can feel it too, as you clutch and squeeze.
“Should be ashamed of himself not taking care of you like you need. You deserve to be filled all day, every day. Filled to the point you can barely walk without feeling me drip down your legs. That what you want? To be filled with me?”
Your hips buck and grind on their own nearly riding his hand as your skin heats and sweat pricks your forehead. “Y-Yes! Yes Curtis please!,” you moan. His words hitting some deep seated, feral part you didn’t recognize but welcomed while palming your breast.
His mouth catches your scream when he adds a third finger. The room filling with your little “ah ah’s”, squelches, and the knock of the desk against the wall how you bucked to keep up with his fingers.
“Shit, might not ever leave the house. Just keep you by my side always wet and ready. Take you in every room and have you screaming for me.” He palms at the front of his slacks picturing your nude body bent over the counter. Or spread on the table for him and him only. “Or let you ride me and take what you want. Like that night after dinner.”
The way your toes curl and back arches he knows you’re seconds away now. Just needing that extra push to have you a twitching, trembling mess.
“Curtis I-I…please Curtis…Curtis!” Twisting his wrist just slightly to the right, he easily finds your spot as he firmly rubs his palm against you swollen nub making you gush down his hand and onto the hardwood below - a splash or two even finds the top of his shoe. It’s almost like a steady stream as it keeps flowing with every push of his fingers and Curtis can’t help but curse before finding your mouth again.
When you whimper and try to back away he knows it’s too much, slowly halting his movements before removing his hand. Automatically, you’re reaching out for him - needing some grounding force after what felt like your body floating to space - and he gladly lets you wrap your arms around his middle. Your face diving to his chest trying to hide your overwhelmed tears while he rubs your back with his clean hand.
“Did so good for me sweetheart. You feel alright?” You nod, turning your head just enough to catch him suck your release from his fingers; moaning from the taste. “Still so sweet,” he mumbles to himself and you swear you feel a small trickle of release escape your hole from that alone.
Your little bubble of ecstasy is quickly popped when the door opens reminding you of the party downstairs. Curtis shields you the best he can, but your dangling legs can easily be seen.
This makes it easy for Wes to recognize you. His face turning from amused shock at finding the always stone faced Curtis Everett with a woman to anger now realizing you were the moans and screams the men whispered about downstairs.
“The fuck are you doing up here?!,” he shouts making you scramble to get off the desk. Curtis still shields you with his back as you right your dress. Not only for your modesty, but to silently warn Wes he wouldn’t dare stand down.
“W-Wes I can explain-,”
“This was your plan the whole time huh? Use me to get to someone better..”
“No, I..I just-,”
“Just what? Accidentally ended up here with him?! Accidentally let him do whatever?” Now you were gathering a bit of a crowd, only increasing your anxiety.
“Wes please..”
“Please what?! Move on from you being a whore who opens her legs to any man she can get ahead with?!”
“Hey! Watch it,” Curtis warns stepping closer to a slightly drunk Wes.
“And after everything I did for you? Gave to you?!”
“You act like I asked for those things.”
He simply shakes his head before focusing on Curtis. “You know what, good luck with that one. Just a lazy sack that only wants to lie on her back. Can barely do that either always complaining-,”
Curtis didn’t let him finish quickly gripping Wes by the back of his neck making him kneel before you and everyone peeking through the open door. He tried to wiggle free and thrash, but Curtis just tightens his grip controlling Wes as if he was an animal handler trained to do this. Like he’d done it plenty of times before.
“You say you’re the one who gave her everything? Way I see it, you wouldn’t have had everything to give without her. Without your lovely wife, I would’ve already cancelled our partnership leaving you high and dry probably on fry duty at some fast food place. So I suggest you humble yourself pretty fucking quick.”
He seemed to get the message, remaining mostly still besides his back rising and falling from his unsteady breathing. “Matter of fact, I say you thank her.”
Wes is quiet, until Curtis jabs him in the ribs causing him to howl in pain.
“She’s waiting!”
“Th-Thank you! Thank you!,” he shouts sighing in relief when Curtis lets him go.
“Cmon,” he mumbles grabbing your hand to lead you past your husband. Past the vast crowd of people who dared not get in his way.
“W-Where are we going?,” you ask trying to keep up with his longer strides.
“Home.”
“But..but I-,”
Swiftly, he turns catching you against his chest with fingers gently gripping your chin so you’d be sure to hear him. “Home can be my place or yours and he gets put on the street, you choose. Either way from this point on, I’m not letting you stay away from me.” How could you argue with that? Especially now when he was using that commanding tone paired with that intense gaze making your core spasm. “Which one?”
“…Yours.”
He simply kisses your forehead leading you outside to retrieve his car from valet.
As for Wes, he was in for a rude awakening Monday morning when he’d be served an eviction notice saying his office space now belonged to Everett Co., minutes before he was served divorce papers already signed by you and your wedding ring.

Not gonna lie, I’m a little iffy about the ending but still I hope everyone enjoys! Also check out the other stories from this challenge as well💕!

Chapter 24: A Queen is made
Rhaenyra watched as Jacaerys lifted his head higher. He would be heir. Not you. Not you, the eldest, who had done everything that was asked of you.
Not the eldest daughter who listened to her mother preach of creating a new order where women could sit upon the throne. A place where women born first have more right than a man born second.
Not you. 
Him.
“Naught is to be done but by my command.” Jacaerys eyes flitted to yours, waiting for you to argue, to fight back, to demand your rightful spot as the eldest to be the heir.
But no words escaped your mouth. Instead, your lips formed a hard line as you nodded to your brother before turning away to be there for your mother.
As you always had.
Such bitterness rose inside you. It was monstrous, and suffocating and swallowed you whole, though you pushed down that anger. For her. For your sister. For them all.
As you always had.
Your brother's footsteps faded away and Rhaenyra groaned, sobbing loudly as she bent forward. Your hands flew out to hold her arm, as you whispered praise and assurance to her, hoping that it would be enough to give her some comfort. 
You stood with your mother as her cries got louder. 
“Daemon!” She yelled out, and you looked to the midwives as one left the room. You held onto her tighter as she began to bend down groaning in pain, which turned to screams, sweat sticking her hair to her face. 
“Mother, what can I do? Please tell me what I can do?” You begged as you held onto her, one of her hands grasping yours painfully tight as she wailed. 
She cried louder, as she bent down one hand clutching her stomach as rivers of tears fell from her eyes. You felt helpless. You felt spiteful. You felt grief, and envy and anger and rage. You felt so much, that you did not even know what you truly felt.
It was overwhelming.
You did not know what to do.
This birth was nothing like your brothers.
She cried out again, head bowed towards the floor, teeth bared as she clenched her jaw. Red caught your eye on the floor below, as blood had begun to pool beneath her bare feet. Her toenails were stained with the sticky liquid. 
“Daemon!” She screamed again, ripping her hand away from yours as she stumbled away, the shift dragging through the blood on the floor, causing the white to stain. A long trail of blood followed her path.
You looked towards the door, praying your father would enter. 
He never did.
Rhaenyra groaned as she paced, bending in place to clutch at her back or stomach, nails digging into her own flesh, desperately trying to push past the pain and her fear.
Fear.
You realised that Rhaenyra felt fear. You remembered her mother. You remembered Laena. You remembered all the women before you who had died giving birth.
Please Gods, not her.
Where was Daemon? How could your father not come to her calls? How could he not come to help her? Assure her? The love of his life? The woman he risked everything for?
You raced out the door, asking the knight at the door where the Prince was.
“With Prince Jacaerys, Princess.” He replied.
“Daemon!” Your mothers voice cried from her chambers, and the urge to run and find him grew strong, but the need to be with your mother was stronger.
You raced back into the chambers as your mother sunk to the floor, back leant against the bed.
You raced to her side but stopped, you did not know if she wanted you close, you did not want to crowd her, you truly did not know what to do.
Doubt swirled in your mind.
What good were you? Eldest daughter. Never to be heir. Unsure of how to help her mother giving birth. Or how to help her grieve her father. Or the throne that was stolen from her.
What use were you?
The best you could do was be there, so if she called you, you were ready.
As she tucked her legs beneath her in a squat her hand came under the bloody shift, groaning as she did. 
You felt tears fall from your eyes as you watched her rip her hand away, dragging herself to stand, clutching the back of the chaise before collapsing to the ground again, hand underneath her shift.
She looked like she was growing weak. She had never looked so pale. The midwives began to come closer and you felt that something was terribly, terribly wrong. 
Her screams grew louder as she hunched forward clawing onto the bed behind her, knuckles white with her grip. 
“Princess, let us help you.” Came the gentle voice of a young midwife, whose face was filled with tears.
“No.” Your mother groaned, hand still under her shift whilst the other now grasped her stomach.
“Get out!” Rhaenyra screamed, groaning as she pushed. 
“Mother, please let them help you!” You begged, coming closer to her as you knelt down beside her.
“Princess, please.” Begged another midwife.
“Get out!” She cried, leaning forward with one hand as she grunted and pushed, blood beginning to pool below her feet.
“Please. Gods please.” You whispered.
“You should not do this alone, Princess. Let us help you.” Begged the older midwife whilst the rest swayed on their feet with anxiety, watching the woman struggle with her birth.
Your mother cried louder, pushing as she groaned in pain. A pool of fluid landed between her legs as one of the midwives openly began to cry. Your mothers bloody hand came up to grasp yours suddenly as she screamed. Head thrown back as a pained wail twisted its way from Rhaenyras mouth, hand moving to catch the weight of the babe between her legs as she continued to push.
Suddenly it was quiet. 
The grip on your hand faltered.
The midwives watched on as your mother collapsed to the floor, pained breaths and gasps flowing from her mouth. No-one moved. No-one spoke.
All that could be heard was the silence of the room. Such an awful, awful silence. What would usually be a room full of the sounds of a babe crying, was now the emptiness of space. 
Why was it so quiet?
You looked down at your mother to see the bloody body of your sister, who did not move, nor did she cry, nor did she breathe. The stillness of the room was unbearable, and you found a sob work its way from your mouth as you watched your mother wrap the stillborn in her shift pulling it up to her chest as she slowly began to rock.
Footsteps filled the silent room and you turned to see your father, watching your mother rock back and forth. Rage bubbled up inside you as he stood there at the entrance. He did not walk forward, he did not try to console her, or see what was wrong.
The Rogue Prince merely stood there and watched. 
Your feet carried you before your mind knew what you were doing, storming up to your father looking at his face, which looked all the more shamed. 
“Get. Out.” You hissed. Staring up at your father, chest rising and falling rapidly.
He did not react, simply looked down at you sadly.
“Get-“ You hand went to hit him but he caught you gently, sighing. 
“Not here.” He muttered, holding your hand to bring you out of the chambers, your head turned to look at your mother one last time as she still rocked with the babe she had just lost. You let your father pull you from the room.
You had lost your sister. 
“You left her!” You spat, rising up on your toes to get in your fathers face, “You left her when she needed you! I needed you! And where were you? Plotting a war you have always wanted! Do you even care about us? Do you even love us? Or does your thirst for the crown weigh of more importance to you?”
Your fathers grip tightened on your arm, “Dont.” He growled.
“No. Let go of me.” You wriggled in his grasp trying to rip your arm from his, but his hold did not falter, nor did his gaze.
“Y/n.” He whispered.
“Let me go!” You cried pushing at his body with your other hand, grief overwhelming your rage as you began to sob.
“Tala.” (Daughter) He uttered and finally you stilled.
Your neck craned up to look at him. His face blurred in your vision from your tears. You tried so desperately to fight it. To push down the tide that began to swell inside you but you couldn't stop it.
You felt your lips tremble as a sob ripped from your chest. The Rogue Prince was quick to act, pulling you to him, clutching you against his chest. 
“Nyke vaoreznuni.” (I’m sorry.) He whispered into your hair as he clutched you close, allowing you to sob into his chest, feeling all of the days losses crawl up on you.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered over and over as he held you, his lips atop your head and he pressed soft kisses into your hair. 
Sorry doesn’t cut it. 
Sorry doesn’t bring back your sister. Sorry doesn’t give your mother relief. Sorry doesn’t take away how he just abandoned her in her need. Sorry does not erase the pain.
Grunting you pushed away from him, sniffling and looked up at him in disgust.
“Fuck you.” You sneered before storming away.
The Prince did not chase you. 
Your thoughts ran to your brothers.
You needed to find Lucerys, to see if he was okay.
You could not face Jace at this moment.
It was a terrible thing to be so angry. A terrible thing to be so bitter, and envious and almost vengeful. You knew you should not envy him. But you did all the same.
In your mind, you had always known that it was likely for Jacaerys to be named Heir instead of you, but still you felt a keen sting of rejection and anger.
You walked towards Lucerys’ chambers, coming to the door quickly before entering with a soft knock. He sat on his chaise, looking down at his hands, but once he heard you enter he looked up in anticipation. 
“Is she…” He trailed off.
You shook your head, feeling a lump form in the back of your throat. 
“The babe didn’t make it.” You whispered sadly. 
“Mother is…” You stumbled on your words, “grieving.” 
Lucerys looked at his hands sadly as you sat beside him.
You grasped the young boys hand firmly, holding it in your lap, unsure of what to say.
It was silent again. You didn’t know how much you could hate silence until today. It made your hands fidget and your legs jump. What you once sought solace in, now haunted you.
“It’s going to be okay.” Lucerys spoke, strength in his voice. 
Your sweet brother, trying to be strong for you, trying to hold you together as your pieces began to crumble. You sniffed sharply, sitting up straighter, hand squeezing his. 
“Where is Daemon?” He asked, and you shook your head sternly, gritting your teeth.
The only sounds in the room were your soft sniffles and the crackling sounds of the fire. You did not know what to say, and for once, words escaped you.
You did not know how to comfort your brother. You did not know how to even comfort yourself. Fresh tears begin to fall. They rolled down your cheeks, their salty tracks dripping from your chin into your lap.
Lucerys turned his head to watch you cry gently. The young boy looked so lost, so unsure how to comfort you. And although you never told him, just his presence was enough.
Enough so, that you had hoped your presence had soothed your mother the same way. 
You sat together in the room for hours, holding onto each other, not daring to move lest the other be disturbed until you were called. Perhaps if you did not move, it did not happen. It had all been just a terrible dream.
Tumblr media
But it was real. And it had happened. And soon reality came to crash down on the both of you.
A soft knock at the door stirred you both from your grieving. Your knight Ser Darke, came to collect you both as Jacaerys stood behind him waiting with a far away look in his eye.
Clearing your throat you stood, brushing down your gown and soothing your hair, before walking wordlessly out the door, the boys following behind. Always following you. Always leading them.
Now, never to truly lead.
Together you walked through the castle. With every step, you felt your heart give and your eyes burn, but you would not cry. Not anymore. Not now.
Not when they needed you. 
The sun had slowly begun to sink lower into the sky as you walked out onto the cliffside of Dragonstone, the grass and dirt crushed under your every step.
In front of you lay the giant candled stone, wax melted off of it on all sides from years of ceremonies and rituals. Hundreds of years worth of wax and flame. Your mother and father stood before it whilst large flames licked the sides.
Rhaenyra was dressed and her hair had been combed neatly behind her. She wore no large braids. And although she had been dressed, and her hair had been brushed, she was still just as pale as you had saw her hours earlier, and her hair just as slick from sweat.
You all watched as Princess Rhaenyra gently placed your deceased sister atop the flames, shoulders stuttering with silent sobs. She stood, in a way that only someone in physical and mental pain would.
All watched as the Princess and Prince mourned the loss of their daughter.
All was quiet.
And none spoke, nor whispered, nor cried loudly at the scene. Though silent tears were shed for the loss, there was no humanly grief to be heard. All that could be heard but the crackling of the flames.
You watched alongside your brothers, the younger Joffrey standing with you not quite understanding what was happening, though his face held a sadness that no young child should.
Your father watched Rhaenyra as she didn’t once take her eyes from the flames. Dark plumes of smoke rose into the air, whilst a soft breeze caressed the long tresses of hair at your mothers back. The approaching sound of a knight alerted the guards around your mother and father, their attention to the intruder causing your father to turn and watch.
Rhaenyra did not turn.
The sharp sound of two swords being drawn cut through the silence. The Prince watching behind the guards, hands on the hilt of the Dark Sister blade. You stepped forwards towards them both, your brother Jacaerys hand coming to stop you.
You shook off his hand.
Walking up towards the Kings guard was a man you recognised as Ser Eryyk Cargyll. A twin and member of the Knights Watch back in Kings Landing.
“I mean no harm, brothers.” He called out.
The Princess still did not turn around, hypnotised by the flames burning her loss in front of her. 
Ser Eryyk reached up and pulled away the helmet from his head whilst two swords were drawn on him, ready to strike him down at any moment.
At their recognition of him, the other guards lowered their sword whilst your father slowly stalked towards him. Ser Eryyk walked closer and knelt down bowing.
Movement caught your eye. Finally your mother turned, resting her tired gaze on the man before her. Her face was gaunt, eyes tired and dark. You wished to hold her.
One of Ser Eryyk's hands reached into the dark leather satchel on his side, pulling out your grandsire's crown. It looked as it did the last time you saw it.
You watched as the Knight held it out to your mother. 
“I swear to ward the Queen…” His voice called out, “With all my strength… and give my blood for hers.” 
Daemon walked forward in disbelief, grasping the crown before him, holding it delicately in his hands as though it may disappear. A piece of his brother in his hands, the only thing he had left.
“I shall take no wife…” the knight continued, “hold no lands… father no children. I shall guard her secrets…” 
You watched as your mother began to approach Daemon, looking at his hands holding the circlet. Light from the setting sun causes the gold to shine.
“Obey her commands, ride at her side and defend her name and honour.” Ser Eryyk continued his vows, and knelt down watching your father intently.
Daemon looked at the knight in disbelief before turning to look at your mother, who still watched from afar as she slowly stalked forward in shock.
Walking closer, Rhaenyra stood before Daemon as he lifted the crown of her father to place it gently atop her head. It fit perfectly. You watched in awe as a new feeling burst through your chest.
Pride.
Pride is what you felt now.
Your mother with her rightful crown. Your mother as the rightful Queen to the Seven Kingdoms. Your mother. Daemon knelt down in front of her and you followed after, resting your knee on the grass below you, your skin digging into the soil as you bowed your head before looking back up at your mother.
She held the crown well.
A true Queen.
“My Queen.” The Rogue Prince whispered to her, his gaze holding hers.
Behind you was the sounds of all present kneeling into the ground below them. The coats and armour moving, followed by the sounds of grass being crushed.
Her eyes caught yours and you bowed your head. Butterflies running wild in your stomach. 
You lifted your head and watched as your mother looked out at all of you, her sights looking past you holding her gaze onto someone. You turned your head to see Rhaenys, The Queen Who Never Was, standing up the back. Her granddaughters, Rhaena and Baela knelt before her for their Queen.
Princess Rhaenys she took no knee. 
Queen Rhaenyras eyes came back to you, as her guards walked forward towards her, escorting her up the path and back into the castle as you all followed.
You trailed behind her with your brothers, your head held high. 
Your mother, the Queen, true born heir to the Iron Throne and the rightful ruler of the realm.
No words were spoken once again, nothing but murmurs of “My Queen.” from those she passed, as they bowed their heads to their new Queen.

Hey! Maybe a bit of a silly question, but do you have any idea what the most common screen readers are? I was hoping to use them to get a bit of an idea how my image descriptions sound/what could be improved, but there's so many that I'm not sure where to start.
Sure thing! If you use a mac or any apple device, including an iPhone, you already have VoiceOver built in. Just say "Voice Over On" to Siri and it will start up! You might need to adjust the speed settings though, depending on your preference.
The same is true if you have an android phone, it comes built in with Talk Back. I don't know if you can turn that on via voice command though since I don't have an android.
If you have a PC, you have Windows Narrator, but I'm told that not the best. You'd better off downloading NVDA.

Smart Home Design
Integrating Technology into Modern Architecture
Integrating technology into modern architecture not only enhances the functionality of a home but also transforms it into a more efficient, secure, and comfortable living space. Here’s how smart home design is shaping the future of modern architecture and how you can incorporate these technologies into your own home.
Tumblr media
1. Smart Lighting Systems
Smart lighting systems allow homeowners to control their lighting through voice commands, smartphones, or automated schedules. These systems can adjust the brightness and color temperature of lights based on the time of day or personal preferences. For example, you can set the lights to gradually brighten in the morning to mimic a natural sunrise, making waking up a more pleasant experience.
2. Home Automation Hubs
A home automation hub acts as the central controller for all smart devices within a house. It integrates various smart systems, such as lighting, heating, and security, into one unified platform. This centralization makes it easier to manage and automate different aspects of home life. For instance, you can create routines that turn off the lights, adjust the thermostat, and lock the doors when you leave the house.
3. Voice-Activated Assistants
Voice-activated assistants, like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple’s Siri, have become common in smart homes. These devices allow users to control various smart home features through voice commands. From playing music and setting reminders to controlling smart appliances, voice assistants offer a hands-free way to interact with your home technology.
4. Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are designed to optimize home heating and cooling systems, resulting in energy savings and increased comfort. They learn your schedule and preferences over time, automatically adjusting temperatures to suit your lifestyle. Additionally, smart thermostats can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps, allowing you to adjust settings even when you’re away from home.
5. Home Security Systems
Modern smart home security systems offer advanced features such as remote monitoring, motion detection, and video surveillance. Smart cameras and doorbells allow homeowners to view live footage and receive alerts if unusual activity is detected. Integration with other smart devices, such as lighting and alarms, can enhance security and provide peace of mind.
6. Smart Appliances
Smart appliances, such as refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines, are designed to improve convenience and efficiency. These appliances can be controlled remotely, provide notifications about their status, and even integrate with other smart home systems. For instance, a smart oven can be preheated from your smartphone before you arrive home.
7. Energy Management
Smart home design also emphasizes energy management and efficiency. Smart meters and energy monitoring systems provide insights into your energy usage, helping you identify areas where you can save on utility bills. By integrating these systems with smart appliances and lighting, you can further reduce energy consumption and minimize your environmental impact.

Tumblr media
"H-Has anyone seen Melt lately...? I've been looking for her all week..."
Well, she hasn't, really...She had an agent out searching for her.
Tumblr media
What's that look for?! She can have agents! She's a major player here, you know! She has a ninja that works for her!
Tumblr media
"PassioOoNlip-dono...I have retuRRrRnEd."
The robotic voice of Kashin Koji precludes the doll's presence, the woman dropping in out of nowhere as her spider-like metal tendrils clank on the floor to hold her in place. Her body's not all that anymore, and she sounds more like Siri than the master of illusions he was in life.
Tumblr media
"W-Welcome back, Koji! What did you learn...?"
Tumblr media
"BegINnnNinG report...No signs of Meltryllis-dono in designated class: ALlTer Ego. Lancer located, same position as previous repPpoRRt.
BB-dono remains secCCCluuuded...Recommendation: ExttttERminate. We are...UnSure of her motivAAATIoNs, after all..."
Tumblr media
"No sign of her at all, then. She must be in a singularity, like you suspected at the start. We've been wasting our time there..."
It's like Passionlip's demeanor changed completely. The shy, if steel-backed young woman is no more. A calm, cool, collected woman has taken her place, and listens to her assassin's report with complete focus.
"Thank you for searching this past week for me, and I'm sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase. I'll take the matter about BB into consideration, but..."
She sucks in on her lip.
"What about the other matter I asked you to look into, Koji?"
Tumblr media
"Nnnh? Other maAAAtteR?"
She closes her eyes, seeming to have to dig through her memory to recall an order issued to her merely 7 days ago.
Tumblr media
"Ah- Yes, I reMmMember noWW."
A smile spreads across the spider's face as her tendrils clank and rustle in excitement.
Tumblr media
"AaAlL is AcCOrDDinG to plan. They're A-a-a-already falling into posiTIION..."
She twitch-twitch-twitches. She'll need to recalibrate her voice box and limbs, then.
Tumblr media
"Very good...Continue monitoring them, and let me know immediately if Avenger's routine changes. Even if she does something small."
Tumblr media
"Of course, PAASssionlip-dooOno. I am eEvvER your faithful shinobi...Master."
Passionlip doesn't have hands. So no one would have any reason to check them for anything. Especially Command Seals.
That's why they're on her back. Three of them, in crimson red, unseeable by anyone who isn't trying to get behind lip for some inane reason.
Koji isn't 'officially' in Chaldea. She's not even Ritsuka's Servant.
The master of Assassin, Kashin Koji...
Is Alter-Ego, Passionlip.
Tumblr media
"Hehehe...you don't need to call me that, Koji...we're friends. But, um, while you leave..."
Tumblr media
"Can you survey the area? Make sure no one's listening in?"
Tumblr media
"At onNCEe, Passionlip-dono."
The scuttling of spider legs echo as Kashin Koji flips herself back up into the vents, darting away to do a check on her mistress's domicile.
-
Breath, hot down your neck. The click, click, click of eight steel legs behind you, as you stare at your computer. The hissing of metal joints as they creak and groan.
A soft, warm finger gently tips at your chin, turning your eyes away from the Tumblr screen for just a moment. Just a secon-
Tumblr media
Do nOooT OBBbSserve ThiIIngs you were not suppPPPosed to seeeEE.
You will be LEEETTTT off this time.
I am not known for second chances.
Scuttle, scuttle, scuttle. You blink. You're looking at Tumblr again. How odd.
Perhaps a trick of the light.
Yes.
That must be it, my dear reader.
A tTRIIccCCk of the ligHHhT.~

Forget politeness, Danny was just downright feral. Simply put, he had woken up and chosen violence.
He made his way to school like he owned the place. Bought himself at the Slave Auction like it was nobody's business and went off into the sunset with a baffled Jay in his arms, being held in bridal style. Then he came back because he had forgotten that he had to sing with Duke and put the blonde back down remorsefully before making him promise to watch his concert.
Somehow, and because the universe was a bitch he had once again ended up in the parking lot with Crystal and Gun staring at him. Before he could walk away the girl opened her mouth and began berating him for "judging people based on their looks".
"I'm gonna stop you right there" He cut her off, something no one had ever done before judging by her gobsmacked expression. "I don't know you, nor do I care to so you should keep your hypocritical view to yourself, okay miss?"
Unfortunately, Crystal managed to recover before he could book it out of there.
"Just who do you think you are? Calling me a hypocrite?"
Daniel regaled her with a thoroughly unimpressed stare before opening his mouth.
"Siri, could you please tell me the definition of hypocrisy?"
"a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel" The robotic voice came from his back pocket, echoing through the empty parking lot.
Gun had a mysterious coughing fit that ended with a pointed elbow in the ribs from the smaller girl, though even that didn't manage to wipe the grin off his face. He eyed the boy more closely, feeling suddenly intrigued about whether he had the skills to back his cheeky attitude.
"You judge people based on how they look. I saw how you looked at one of the other girls in the crowd." Crystal continued to press on stubbornly.
"And you don't?" He retorted without missing a beat. "Besides, the girl I was looking at was Lala Kim, and she's notorious for how badly she treats the dates she buys at the Slave Auction."
That at least seemed to have gotten his point across.
"But you still act like you are better than anyone else."
Spoken too soon.
"I am better than everyone else!" His cocky reply seemed to only infuriate the beautiful girl more.
"Prove it!"
"Sure!"
They were now shouting and so close to each other that it was just one shove away from ending up really awkwardly between them. Daniel didn't let his confidence waver when she suddenly revealed a sharp smile that promised pain and humiliation, instead, he gave her his own taunting smirk and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Gun, fight him."
If the command surprised the bodyguard, he didn't show it. In one swift move, he took off his sunglasses, revealing the black sclera of his eyes and plastered on his infamous insane grin. Crystal moved out of the way and Daniel squared his shoulders but didn't wipe off his mocking expression.
Before he could blink an all-too-familiar kick began heading his way and the boy slipped into his fighting mindset. He blacked the click with his own leg using a basic movement that made it seem ridiculously easy. Gun's eyes widened as well as his smirk.
"You're pretty interesting, huh?"
A fist flew towards his face.
"Uh, Daniel."
The boy in question dodged the blow and caught his attacker by the throat, lifting him in the air.
"Hm?" He hummed inquiringly, turning to see the cowering form of Jinho looking at him like he was a monster.
He let go of his opponent, whose body hit the pavement with a muffled thud and made his way toward his smaller classmate.
"Uh-uh, Duke's looking for you, he-he asked me to-to get you." Jinho stuttered, eyes glued on the predator before him and knees trembling.
"Oh right, the concert, I almost forgot!" It was like a switch had been flipped and Daniel's cold facade melted back into a friendly smile. "Thanks, Jinho."
The boy nodded so fast he almost knocked his glasses off his face and scurried back.
"Ah, sorry, we'll have to continue this another time." He told the pair who were still frozen in shock, either at his skill or his quick change in attitude, he found that he didn't care much either way.
Shooting them one final sharp grin Daniel jogged back to the school festival, ready to perform for the beautiful blonde who would be watching him. Once he was out of sight Gun's posture finally loosened and he leaned onto the side of the car, pulling out a cigarette. A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead and he absently brushed his fingers over the already-forming hand-shaped bruise on his neck.
"He could have broken my neck without breaking a sweat." He mumbled and Crystal blanched at the thought.
"That boy...", the fighting maniac took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke slowly, "could've killed me if he wanted to."
The pair shared no other words as they left, both slightly trembling, though due to different reasons. Daniel Park was a real beast and they were lucky he had been interrupted when he had. Gun massaged his neck again as he drove, an impossibly large smile on his face.

Is your iPhone listening to you? Here's what to know... - CyberTalk
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/is-your-iphone-listening-to-you-heres-what-to-know-cybertalk/
Is your iPhone listening to you? Here's what to know... - CyberTalk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Have you ever found yourself wondering about whether (or not) your iPhone is listening to you? If the phone is on your person nearly 24/7, what is it hearing that you might prefer for someone not to know about or use against you? (For example, that shouting match with your spouse)
As great as the iPhone is – it’s one of the best, if not the best phone around – it’s awkward to feel like you’re continually being overheard by an invisible third-party.
So, what’s really happening? In this article, discover the truth behind iPhone eavesdropping myths, unravel misconceptions and maximize your phone’s potential.
Gain insights into the nuances of iPhone listening (or lack thereof) and see how to protect your privacy in an era rife with hacking and data compromises.
Is your iPhone listening to you?
It’s true that your iPhone might be passively listening, but perhaps not in the lawless, intrusive ways that you might imagine. Apple does not sell data to third-parties for marketing purposes. The company has explicitly stated that:
“The customer is not our product and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of personally identifiable information…,” in response to a 2018 U.S. congressional inquiry.
If that’s the case, why are iPhones listening?
One of the primary reasons as to why iPhone listening occurs is to detect voice commands, like “Hey Siri”.
While highly unlikely due to Apple’s rules and compliance processes, apps could also be “listening”.
When it comes to advertising, the term “listening” really refers to the use of sophisticated machine learning algorithms, which parse apart language to find ad targeting opportunities.
It’s probably not a coincidence if you’ve had a conversation about buying a new car, and shortly thereafter, corresponding advertisements appear.
Note: This isn’t at all common to iPhones, unless they’ve been jailbroken, and typically only occurs on other device types.
What about Siri?
Siri continuously “listens” for the specific “Hey Siri” cue (and for a small number of similar sounds indicating that a person may have attempted to say “Hey Siri”).
Once a person has said “Hey Siri,” the information is largely processed locally; a somewhat recent departure from the past configuration, where information was processed on Apple’s servers.
Is the iPhone listening illegally?
For iPhones, third-party apps are required to obtain explicit user consent when collecting microphone data. At the outset, Apple reviews apps to ensure that they’re compliant.
All apps must go through the Apple Review Process for privacy compliance ahead of being green-lighted for the app store. That said, the process doesn’t guarantee that app developers can’t misbehave at a later point in time.
In other words, in regards to apps, Apple does its best to ensure that iPhones don’t eavesdrop. Accidents could theoretically occur, although the probabilities are slim and they would be clear violations of Apple’s rules.
Is iPhone listening a cause for concern?
Generally, no. If you’re concerned about iPhone listening, note that the newer generations of iPhones have an indicator at the top of the screen that shows when the mic and camera are on.
The light becomes orange when the mic is on. It turns green when the camera is on. This recently added privacy feature assists users in detecting when an app is accessing their device’s systems.
In exceptional circumstances, spyware could be deployed on a phone, resulting in listening. Typically, this only pertains to higher-profile individuals, uniquely targeted individuals, and/or to jailbroken phones.
iPhone listening privacy tips (2024)
If concerned about iPhone privacy, consider the tips below:
1. Shut off the mic for Siri and for individual applications.
To switch off your iPhone’s microphone for Siri, go to Settings > Siri & Search. Then toggle off the following:
Listen for ‘Hey Siri’
Press side button for Siri
Allow Siri when locked
To review permissions and turn off the mic for individual applications, navigate to Settings and then click on individual apps. If you don’t want the mic for that app to remain on, simply toggle the switch.
2. Consider use of a VPN, which will make your device less vulnerable to threats by providing an encrypted, private connection. Do your research and find a reputable VPN provider. Avoid VPN providers who sell your contact information to advertisers. Carefully read through a VPN provider’s privacy policy ahead of agreeing to use their service.
3. Opt for a comprehensive solution like ZoneAlarm mobile security, which uses enterprise-grade technology to protect individuals’ phones and tablets from all kinds of cyber threats.

How Could Artificial Intelligence Affect Home Automation and Security?
Tumblr media
It's likely that you have already utilized artificial intelligence (AI) in your house if you have an iPhone® or Netflix® account. Netflix develops original episodes based on data collected and employs algorithms to anticipate which shows you would like. Siri® on your iPhone utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to comprehend spoken language and reply to instructions or queries, but AI is capable of far more than just "Call Mom - mobile."
AI is developing quickly and starting to have a bigger impact on automation and home security. Let's explore how it could affect you and your family soon.
Home Automation Home automation features like turning on your lights or thermostat when your smartphone passes a virtual boundary are already possible thanks to geofencing technology. However, AI offers a house the chance to learn more than just settings. For instance, voice commands or gestures detected by ceiling cameras may cause your house to turn on the lights automatically.
Home Safety Another area that is susceptible to change is home security. For the 214 million Facebook users in the United States alone, Facebook employs AI in the form of facial recognition to tag images of friends with an accuracy rate of 97 percent. The same deep learning might be used in home security systems to monitor visitors' arrivals and departures.
A family's regular routine may be learned by AI-powered home security systems, which can then recognize when an occurrence looks unexpected. As a result of fewer false alerts, this is advantageous for families with lots of visitors or frequent travel. Because people have a limited attention span compared to technology, which is programmed to remain always vigilant, AI also provides homes with peace of mind.
Getting Past Fears While using these cutting-edge gadgets might be advantageous, some homeowners worry about turning technology inward. Alexa and other AI-enhanced technologies are always listening and observing. The reason for the delayed uptake of these prospective prospects is typically the fear of hackers getting into this technology to steal private information and infringe privacy.
It's critical to prioritize safety and work with reputable suppliers as AI enters households. During a presentation, one AI system mistakenly identified shirt wrinkles as a trustworthy face to enter a house. You can make sure that you utilize Cove Smart by reading reviews, consulting with a skilled installation, and testing products before purchase.

SEO Agency Chennai: Optimizing Your Website for Voice Search in 2024
In the ever-evolving world of SEO, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. One area that’s gaining significant traction in 2024 is voice search optimization. As more people turn to voice-activated devices like smartphones, smart speakers, and voice assistants, optimizing your website for voice search has become essential. For businesses in Chennai, where digital marketing is highly competitive, understanding and implementing effective voice search strategies can set you apart from the crowd. In this guide, we’ll explore how to optimize your website for voice search, ensuring that your business stays relevant and visible.
Understanding Voice Search and Its Importance
What is Voice Search?
Voice search allows users to perform searches on the internet through spoken commands rather than typing. With the increasing popularity of virtual assistants such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple’s Siri, voice search has become a common way for people to interact with their devices. According to recent studies, nearly 50% of all searches are expected to be voice searches by the end of 2024. This trend emphasizes the need for businesses to adapt their SEO strategies to cater to voice search queries.
Why Voice Search Matters
Voice search is not just a technological novelty; it reflects changing user behavior. Users are increasingly favoring the convenience of voice commands over typing, especially for quick, on-the-go queries. This shift impacts how search engines process queries and how websites are ranked. As a result, optimizing for voice search can significantly improve your site’s visibility and attract more traffic.
Key Strategies for Voice Search Optimization
1. Focus on Conversational Keywords
Voice search queries tend to be longer and more conversational than typed searches. For example, while a typed query might be “best pizza near me,” a voice search query could be “What’s the best place to get pizza near me?” To optimize for voice search, you need to target long-tail keywords and phrases that reflect natural, conversational language.
**Tips:** - Conduct keyword research to identify common phrases and questions related to your industry. - Use tools like Google’s Keyword Planner or SEMrush to find voice search keywords.
2. Optimize for Local Search
Voice search is often used for local queries, such as finding nearby restaurants or services. Ensure that your business information is accurate and consistent across all online platforms, including Google My Business, Yelp, and local directories. This will help voice assistants provide accurate information to users.
**Tips:** - Create and optimize your Google My Business listing. - Include local keywords and phrases in your website content. - Encourage customer reviews and ensure your business address and phone number are up-to-date.
3. Improve Your Website’s Loading Speed
Voice search users expect quick and accurate results. A slow-loading website can lead to a poor user experience and lower rankings. Ensure your website loads quickly on both desktop and mobile devices to enhance user satisfaction and improve your chances of being featured in voice search results.
**Tips:** - Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to test your website’s speed. - Optimize images, reduce server response time, and leverage browser caching.
4. Implement Structured Data Markup
Structured data markup helps search engines understand the context of your content and improves the chances of appearing in rich snippets or featured snippets. This is particularly important for voice search, where concise, accurate information is essential.
**Tips:** - Use schema markup to tag important information like business hours, location, and reviews. - Implement FAQs schema to enhance your chances of appearing in voice search results.
5. Create FAQ Pages and Structured Content
Voice search often involves questions, so having a well-structured FAQ page can be beneficial. Provide clear, concise answers to common questions related to your industry. This not only improves user experience but also increases the likelihood of your content being used in voice search results.
**Tips:** - Identify common questions your customers ask and create content around them. - Use clear headings and bullet points to make it easy for search engines to parse your content.
6. Optimize for Mobile Devices
Most voice searches are performed on mobile devices, so ensuring your website is mobile-friendly is crucial. A responsive design that adjusts to different screen sizes and provides a seamless user experience is essential for voice search optimization.
**Tips:** - Use responsive design techniques to ensure your website looks and functions well on all devices. - Test your website’s mobile usability with tools like Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test.
Conclusion
Optimizing your website for voice search is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity in the digital age. For businesses in Chennai looking to stay competitive, understanding and implementing voice search strategies can make a significant difference in your online visibility and customer engagement. By focusing on conversational keywords, local search optimization, website speed, structured data, and mobile responsiveness, you can ensure your business remains at the forefront of voice search technology.
Incorporating these strategies will not only enhance your website’s performance but also align with the evolving search trends of 2024. As you navigate the complexities of SEO, consider partnering with a leading SEO agency in Chennai to leverage their expertise in voice search and other digital marketing services. Whether you’re looking for SEO for your website or seeking top-notch SEO backlink services, professional guidance can help you achieve your goals and drive success in the competitive online landscape.
Stay ahead of the curve and embrace the future of search with effective voice search optimization strategies.

How to Use Smart Thermostats as a Home Automation Solution
In the era of smart homes, where technology has seamlessly integrated with everyday life, smart thermostats have emerged as one of the most practical and energy-efficient home automation solutions. These devices not only allow you to control the temperature of your home remotely but also help reduce energy consumption, improve comfort, and make homes more efficient.
Here’s how you can effectively use smart thermostats as a part of your home automation system and take full advantage of their capabilities.
Tumblr media
1. Understanding Smart Thermostats
A smart thermostat is a Wi-Fi-enabled device that allows you to control your home’s heating and cooling system remotely via a smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant. Unlike traditional thermostats that require manual adjustments, smart thermostats learn your preferences over time and adjust the temperature accordingly. This level of automation ensures your home is always at the optimal temperature while saving energy and reducing costs.
Key Features:
Remote Control: Adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using a mobile app.
Learning Capabilities: Many smart thermostats learn your routines and automatically create schedules based on your preferences.
Energy Reports: Track energy usage and receive insights into how you can improve efficiency.
Integration with Smart Home Systems: Smart thermostats can be integrated with other home automation systems such as lighting, security cameras, and voice assistants.
2. Remote Temperature Control for Convenience
One of the primary benefits of a smart thermostat is the ability to control the temperature of your home from anywhere. Whether you're on vacation, at work, or simply lounging on the couch, you can adjust your home’s heating or cooling system with just a few taps on your smartphone.
How It Works:
Mobile App: Most smart thermostats come with a dedicated app that allows you to set the temperature, switch between heating and cooling modes, or turn the system off completely.
Voice Assistants: Many smart thermostats integrate with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri, allowing you to adjust the temperature with simple voice commands.
This remote control functionality means you can make sure your home is always at the right temperature before you arrive, or even turn off the heating/cooling system if you forgot to do so before leaving.
3. Smart Scheduling and Learning Capabilities
One of the most attractive features of smart thermostats is their ability to learn your preferences and create automated schedules. Over time, these devices track your temperature adjustments and daily routines, learning when you like your home to be warmer or cooler.
Benefits of Smart Scheduling:
Automatic Adjustments: After learning your habits, the thermostat can automatically adjust the temperature throughout the day. For example, it can lower the temperature at night when you're asleep or increase it in the morning before you wake up.
Adaptive Settings: Smart thermostats can also adapt to changes in your schedule. If you’re not home at the usual time, the thermostat will detect this and delay heating or cooling until you return, ensuring you’re not wasting energy.
4. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Smart thermostats are designed to optimize energy usage and reduce unnecessary heating and cooling. Many models come with energy-saving modes that kick in when the thermostat detects that no one is home or when you manually set it to eco-mode. Over time, this can lead to significant reductions in your energy bills.
Energy-Saving Features:
Geofencing: Some smart thermostats use your smartphone’s location to determine whether you’re home or away. When you leave the house, the thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature to save energy and returns to a comfortable level when you’re on your way back.
Energy Reports: Most smart thermostats provide monthly energy reports that offer insights into your energy usage patterns. These reports can help you understand how changes in your thermostat settings affect your energy consumption and provide recommendations for further savings.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, using a programmable or smart thermostat can save you up to 10% on heating and cooling costs annually, making it a smart investment for any household.
5. Integration with Other Smart Home Devices
Smart thermostats can be integrated into a broader home automation system, working in tandem with other devices such as smart lights, security systems, and even home assistants. This allows for a fully connected home experience, where devices communicate with each other to enhance convenience and energy efficiency.
Examples of Integration:
Lighting and Temperature Coordination: Your smart thermostat can be programmed to adjust the temperature when certain lights are turned on or off, creating a more energy-efficient environment.
Voice Control: If you have smart speakers or assistants like Google Home or Amazon Echo, you can control your thermostat with voice commands, simplifying temperature management even further.
6. Maintenance Alerts and Air Quality Monitoring
Some advanced smart thermostats go beyond temperature control by providing maintenance alerts and monitoring your home’s air quality. These devices can notify you when it’s time to change your air filter, schedule a service check, or if there are unusual temperature fluctuations that could indicate a system issue.
How This Helps:
Preventative Maintenance: Regular reminders to perform system maintenance can help extend the life of your heating and cooling system and prevent costly repairs.
Improved Air Quality: Some smart thermostats come with sensors that can monitor the air quality in your home, alerting you to potential issues like high humidity or poor ventilation.
Conclusion
Smart thermostats offer a seamless, energy-efficient solution for managing your home’s temperature while providing a higher level of convenience. By learning your habits, offering remote control, and integrating with other smart devices, these thermostats can improve comfort and significantly reduce energy bills. With smart home automation on the rise, investing in a smart thermostat is an excellent step toward a greener, smarter, and more efficient home.

Furby 2023 review/first impressions! MAN these guys are cute, they're still a tad annoying like the connects/booms (i really wish their voices were different) but they have so much spunk and charm! it was nice to have a bit of a tutorial at the beginning since i got mine secondhand and didn't have a manual lol.
This ended up being a pretty lengthy review so i put it under a read more ⬇️
They're smaller than i thought (a tad smaller than '98s) but i love how round they are, still don't like that their mouths don't move but i love the LED ears, the fur is very similar to owl 98 furbies but maybe a bit shorter, super soft and easy to brush! the head tuft texture is near identical to 98s too. these ones don't have tails either which i think was a great style choice since i always thought they looked weird on the other modern models. the ears are all plastic but the feet and eyelids have some kind of thick rubber coating? i'm not really sure how to describe it but i think it's an alright choice, totally gonna start deteriorating in 5-10 years tho LMAO. forehead sensors haven't been actual sensors for the past few furby models and this time it's what they call the "forehead gem", and is the button you use for voice activation, i think it's cute :)
like i said before the initial experience of a factory reset 2023 furby is really great. You immediately get a feel for exactly what this toys gonna be like and how to use it. i love that voice commands are back but the selection feels a bit limited. also the way you activate it is weird to me, you press the forehead gem and wait for the ears to glow white, then say "hey furby" and wait for the ears to glow green, and then say the command. i get that Hey Furby is a reference to 2005 furbies but i feel like they could've either cut out the button press or cut out the Hey Furby?
the voice commands they DO have are pretty fun, ones a music option where they sing (i haven't heard all the songs yet but the ones i have heard are... what you'd expect) one that's a magic 8 ball/fortune teller (fun little game to play), one that essentially turns your furby into talking tom (as an ex-11 year old this is perfect for the demographic they're going for), one that's like meditation and breathing exercises (i think it's kind of a weird inclusion but it's nice that this gen isn't just screaming all the time like a lot of the other modern gens do), and a "light show" where they sit still and their ears glow different colors (SUPER cute and great to have on your desk while you're doing other stuff)
there's a couple hidden commands too but my favorite by far is "selfie" where they'll strike a pose for a couple seconds, that's how i got the above image and i actually think it's a really great way to bring them into the modern era, i love taking pictures of my furbies but it can be a pain in the ass to get them in a cute pose.
this is a weird little nitpick but i would've really appreciated a mode where furby dances to your music! i think this would've been a really fun feature for the modern era and great nostalgia for all us mid-early 2000s kids who grew up with i-dogs (and funky furbies!). i also would've loved a feature to change furbys name? if we're gonna have to say "hey furby" every time we say a command i want to say the name i gave them, i think you can already do this with things like siri so i can't imagine it's too complex to add, maybe this is harder to program in than i think it is but little touches like that would bring even more life into these lively little creatures.
a big plus is that 2023 furby has a way to turn them off, you'd think that would be standard for them but i think the last time they had a true off mode was in 2005 so hooray for bare minimums. Their voices are loud but in my opinion not too loud, close to the volume of 2012s? i still wish you could turn it down/up, seems like a no-brainer thing to add.
as far as physical functionality their eyes blink, and they have head/tummy sensors. all work great but they also have a mouth button that won't do anything on mine? i used it to factory reset so i know it WORKS but i don't know if it's supposed to do anything other than that lol. i miss having a back sensor, belly pets are cute but id love even more interactivity. they also have a motion sensor like the other gens but i think it only detects up and down and not motion? i know 2012s/booms will react if you're moving them but i couldn't get my 2023 to say anything particular about it. i really really appreciate that if you shake them the right way you can change their default ear light color, that level of customizability is really cute and should what every pet toy strives for.
I've never been a fan of non-cloth feet on furbies but i think they really work here! a nitpick i've always had with connects is they have these weird looking half clear plastic feet that looked like they should light up or something but they don't do anything. on the 2023s they have little motors so they can bounce up and down, which is one of my favorite features of other furby models! i think full body movement really brings a lot of emotion and personality to furbies and im really happy that's back after being absent from connects!
the fact that the mouth doesn't move is really really stupid for a toy that retails at a whopping 40-60 bucks, like i said for that price range a back sensor would've been nice too. commands are limited but the ones that are there are good to just have as a desktop buddy.
what really bugs me is that hasbro saw ppl saying "the furby 2012/connect apps suck" and instead of making better apps just decided NO app was a better option. there's ways to make good toy/app integrations! i think they should've tried it one more time instead of nixing it all together. at the very least i wish they had wifi for updates, if i knew there could be more features added down the line i would be a lot more lenient on the lack of commands but as it stands this is all 2023 furbies will ever be which is really sad.
Overall though i really love these new furbies! i don't know if i would've liked them as much if i spent full price but i think at the very least they're a step in the right direction for the furby brand and im SUPER excited to see where it goes next.

Advantages of Voice Controlled Home Automation Products
In recent years, voice-controlled home automation products have revolutionized the way we interact with our living spaces. With the rise of smart home voice assistants, integrating voice commands into home automation systems has become more accessible and practical. At TechVault, we are dedicated to exploring the latest in home automation products and how home automation with voice control can enhance your daily life. This blog will delve into the numerous advantages of adopting voice-controlled home automation products and how they can transform your home into a smarter, more efficient space.
Seamless Integration and Convenience
One of the primary benefits of home automation with voice control is the seamless integration it offers. Smart home voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri allow you to control various devices and systems in your home simply by speaking. Whether you want to adjust the thermostat, turn off the lights, or play your favorite music, voice commands make it incredibly convenient to manage your home environment without lifting a finger.
This ease of use extends to all home automation products connected to your voice assistant. The ability to control multiple devices with a single voice command streamlines your daily routines, making your home more user-friendly and accessible.
Hands-Free Operation
Another significant advantage of voice-controlled home automation is the hands-free operation it provides. Imagine being able to adjust the lighting or set the alarm while your hands are busy cooking or carrying groceries. With smart home voice assistants, you can perform these tasks effortlessly without interrupting your activities.
Hands-free operation is especially beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges or those who find physical controls cumbersome. By using voice commands, everyone in the household can interact with the home automation products easily and comfortably.
Enhanced Efficiency and Energy Savings
Voice-controlled home automation products also contribute to increased efficiency and energy savings. For instance, you can use voice commands to automate your home’s lighting and climate control systems based on your daily schedule or preferences. Setting routines such as “Good Morning” or “Good Night” can trigger multiple actions at once, such as turning on lights, adjusting the thermostat, and starting your coffee maker.
These automated routines help ensure that energy is used efficiently, reducing waste and potentially lowering utility bills. Additionally, by integrating smart home voice assistants with energy management systems, you can monitor and control energy consumption more effectively.
Customizable and Scalable Solutions
Home automation with voice control offers a high degree of customization and scalability. You can tailor your voice commands and automation routines to fit your specific needs and preferences. For example, you might create a “Movie Time” routine that dims the lights, closes the blinds, and sets the home theater system to the perfect volume.
As your needs evolve or as new technologies emerge, you can easily expand and modify your home automation products to accommodate changes. This flexibility ensures that your home automation system remains relevant and continues to meet your needs over time.
Improved Security and Safety
Voice-controlled home automation products can enhance the security and safety of your home. Integration with security systems allows you to monitor and control surveillance cameras, door locks, and alarms using voice commands. You can ask your smart home voice assistant to check the status of your security system or lock the doors remotely if you’re away from home.
Additionally, voice-controlled systems can be programmed to provide alerts or reminders for important safety tasks, such as turning off appliances or checking smoke detectors. These features help create a safer living environment and provide peace of mind.
Enhanced Accessibility
For individuals with disabilities or elderly family members, home automation with voice control offers a level of accessibility that traditional control methods might not provide. Voice commands eliminate the need for physical interaction with switches, buttons, or touchscreens, making it easier for everyone to manage their home environment.
