> Google home speakers are about to get slightly worse

Google are well ahead of this lawsuit, the home speakers have been getting slightly worse since Google lost interest and moved on a couple of years ago.

Say what you will about Alexa, but it is the only voice assistant that seemingly keeps improving, Siri is statically-terrible and while Google Assistant was once good, it is worse now than then somehow (although functionality/integrations hasn't evolved).

My favorite thing right now is that a room can have multiple devices (e.g. screens, speakers, etc) but timers don't belong to a room, they belong to an individual Home device, so your screens don't show your timers if your speaker "eats" them. Makes zero sense. Been like that for over a year.

In general Google as an organization is going downhill fast. Google Search is legitimately bad now, I turn on Verbatim Mode and quote everything just to get a so-so experience (still mostly spam though).
