The Speaker with Strange Advice

Callisto has a smart speaker in her room. She asks it questions every morning. It usually gives quick, simple answers. Today, the speaker gives very strange answers.

Callisto punya speaker pintar di kamarnya. Ia mengajukan pertanyaan kepadanya setiap pagi. Biasanya speaker itu memberi jawaban yang cepat dan sederhana. Hari ini, speaker itu memberi jawaban yang sangat aneh.

"What is the weather today?" Callisto asks. "Wear your shoes on your hands," the speaker says.

"Bagaimana cuaca hari ini?" tanya Callisto. "Pakai sepatumu di tanganmu," kata speaker itu.

Callisto laughs and tries a new question. "Set a timer for ten minutes," she says. "Your timer is now a purple elephant," it says.

Callisto tertawa dan mencoba pertanyaan baru. "Setel pengatur waktu sepuluh menit," katanya. "Pengatur waktumu sekarang adalah gajah ungu," jawabnya.

Callisto frowns and picks up the speaker. She checks the small light on top. The light blinks red instead of blue.

Callisto mengerutkan dahi dan mengangkat speaker itu. Ia memeriksa lampu kecil di bagian atasnya. Lampunya berkedip merah, bukan biru.

Callisto looks up the blinking light online. A red light means a software update failed.

Callisto mencari lampu berkedip itu di internet. Lampu merah berarti pembaruan perangkat lunak gagal.

Callisto finds the reset button underneath the speaker. She holds it down for ten seconds. The speaker beeps twice and restarts itself.

Callisto menemukan tombol reset di bagian bawah speaker. Ia menahannya selama sepuluh detik. Speaker itu berbunyi bip dua kali dan menyala ulang dengan sendirinya.

A calm voice speaks after the restart. "Hello again. Systems are now normal," it says.

Sebuah suara yang tenang berbicara setelah dinyalakan ulang. "Halo lagi. Sistem sekarang normal," katanya.

Callisto smiles and asks her question again. "What is the weather today?" she asks. "Today is sunny with a light breeze," it says.

Callisto tersenyum dan mengajukan pertanyaannya lagi. "Bagaimana cuaca hari ini?" tanyanya. "Hari ini cerah dengan angin sepoi-sepoi," jawabnya.

"That sounds right," Callisto says with a relieved laugh. "Set a timer for ten minutes," she says again. "Timer set for ten minutes," the speaker replies calmly.

"Itu terdengar benar," kata Callisto dengan tawa lega. "Setel pengatur waktu sepuluh menit," katanya lagi. "Pengatur waktu disetel sepuluh menit," jawab speaker itu dengan tenang.

Callisto pats the speaker gently on top. "No more purple elephants today," she says, grinning. She writes a note for next time. It says, "A red light means: restart me."

Callisto menepuk bagian atas speaker itu dengan lembut. "Tidak ada gajah ungu lagi hari ini," katanya sambil nyengir. Ia menulis catatan untuk lain kali. Isinya, "Lampu merah artinya: nyalakan ulang aku."
