Eigentlich klar, aber bisher unentdeckt: das isoliert gesprochene “Stop” am Anfang des Pixies-Song „Where Is My Mind?“ schaltet auf Googles Pixel-Telefonen einen laufenden Alarm aus. Damit konnten die damals ja keinesfalls rechnen und entschuldigten sich dafür bei Twitter.
The feature causing the error was added to Google devices a few years back, and was brought to their phones with the release of the Pixel 6 in 2021. The idea is that users only need to say “Stop” or “Snooze,” and their alarms will respond in kind. Ironically, this feature doesn’t work when there’s music in the background, specifically because Google wanted to avoid a situation like this one in which alarms could turn themselves off. Nonetheless, Pixies’ isolated, spoken-toned “Stop” effortlessly does the trick — maybe the band could make a remix that starts with “Snooze” instead?
