Looks like they might be able to make the HomePod useful before it's available in Europe.

Does anyone know why it's not available yet? I'm in Denmark, and while Siri on Watch and iPhone speak Danish, apparently if I buy a HomePod, it'll only work in English.

They would need a time machine too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePod

I wonder if jailbroken homepod would still do the audio enhancements on the fly with, let's say, spotify. Or the detection of commands in google assistant even while playing music very loud.

It looks like it's available in countries that have support for apple's speech to text: https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#siri-neural-...

Kinda sucks. Here in Poland there's no siri in polish. I'd wish apple would give users an option to mark "yeah, I can handle english, sell me the damn device". Same with upcoming fitness service.

Can the link be switched to https://twitter.com/_L1ngL1ng_/status/1329552467240116236 , the actual source of the news?

Especially since the source sucks, with “gems” like

> Every Apple device, including the T2 security chip, has been jailbroken with checkra1n so far.

and “jailbreaking makes your device insecure”.
