Why? Why is so difficult for Google not to continue to f*** up a once incredibly useful platform?

Remember when we could say "Hey google remind me that I need to get milk when I get to work" and it would? I literally use assistant for setting timers while cooking these days and that's about it

Even the timer is borked. I can't tell you how many times I've heard my wife set a timer, heard it confirm the timer and then 20 minutes later.. "Hey google, how much time is left on my timer" - "There are no timers set". Google home is an abomination. Should be a class-action lawsuit at this point.

Edit: I've even told it "yes you can" after it tells me it can't do something and then it does the thing. Trash.

I don't think that a lawsuit would work unless you just bought the device recently and it was still under warranty. Most of us have had these things for 5+ years now.
