Windows 10 Cortana Easter Eggs
« on: August 10, 2015, 01:51:11 am »
Eh my head is hurting, can't sleep and I feel too bad to do anything productive.  So Cortana easter eggs .... post em if you've got em.  I won't give the punchlines, but in no particular order:

Ask her about Master Chief
Ask her to "Beam me up Scotty"
Ask her if she's a god
Ask her where she is
Ask her to "open the pod bay doors Hal"
Ask her about clippy
Ask her the meaning of life
Ask her something sexist
Ask her what her favorite OS is
Ask her what here favorite game is
Ask her what she thinks of the Xbox
Ask her "knock knock"
Ask her to tell you a story
Ask her to sing
Ask her to tell you a joke

useful stuff:

say "Remind me to ______ on (day of week or date) at (time)" to set a reminder on the calendar
say "Play (artist, album or song)" to open groove and play what you requested.  This seems to be a tad buggy
say "open  (app name or file name)"  to launch a program or file.  This only works on "discovered" apps and files in the start menu
say "how old is (celebrity name or name of historically relevant thing)" to have her tell you the age
say "how (big/long/tall/wide) is  (whatever)" to have her tell you the result
say "how many (units) in (other units)" to convert data for you
say "what is (value) (operand) (other value)" to calculate for you
say "how do I get to (location)" for a mapped route
say "how far is it to (location)" for miles
say "how long will it take me to get to (location)" for time

That's all I've found for now.  Even though the features aren't quite there yet, the voice recognition is really good as are the server-side algorithms.  I like it better than siri and whatever you call google's ai.
