I agree that Siri has been left in the dust. I suspect Apple will realize this and expend effort and gain ground but the things google is doing with machine learning and large scale Neural Networks is going to be hard to beat. > On May 18, 2017, at 6:06 PM, David Chittenden wrote: > > Siri h

It totally devastates Siri in it’s capabilities. It’s much better at understanding natural language requests, talks to many data sources and works in conjunction with the digital google home assistant. I’m a big fan myself. It’s all about Google home and Alexa for Amazon now. > On May 18, 20

It needs to now your location as it pulls down a lot of customized locations based data for you. I don’t mind giving that permission out, it’s randomized and aggregated in to larger data sets when sold and I like the services I get in exchange for giving up my location. If I’m up to something

Perhaps you should refraise your question? Such as, "What will the date be in 90 days? Honestly, being a human and if you asked the question the way you fraise it, I'd think you were messing around. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googl

I look forward to trying this, and maybe I should be, but I'm not that concerned if Google knows where I have gone. :) I have been extremely disappointed lately with Siri. Even saying something like "how many days is it in 90 days," which often I need to check that for work, it will often do a we

Hi Michael, One of the things that the Google assistant is supposed to be able to do better than any of the other ones is that it is aware of context aware. So if you ask a question and it comes back with an answer, you can then ask a follow-up question about that same thing, and it will know wh

Hi, Further to what Chris has mentioned here, the recommended Time Machine size is at least twice the size of your original drive. So, for a 250 GB drive, you should have a 500 GB Time Machine drive or partition. This is recommended, so it's possible to play with these numbers slightly. If y

Don't forget that some of the value in Time Machine backups is to be able to keep incremental backups over time. So if you have 200GB of stuff on your drive and your backup drive is 350GB, that will be good for your first backup and then Time Machine will continue to make hourly incremental bac
