      I wish there is a product where it combines the responsiveness, seamlessness and app integrations of Siri with the data sources of Google Assistant, that is available on iPhone 13.

      Most of the time I just use it to message my wife and set timers while driving.

      • On GA, doing things is hit or miss, sometimes it confirms the action without actually doing anything. Sometimes it’s able to tell me the dates of the Antipodes Festival and what time Kenangan is closing. Sometimes it just goes “sorry I don’t understand” for every single command that’s not related to navigation.

      • On Siri, if it understands my words then it reliably gets work done and quickly. But it refuses to answer any factual questions while driving.

        Yeah I miss google assistant, but I preffer the apple platform. Googles worming its way into everything piece of tech is a bit unsettling. I have way less “damn guess I need to reset the phone” on iOS when compared to Android as well. Woulda kinda love windows phone to come back though.

        I just carry an umbrella with me if I’m going to be walking outdoors for more than 5 minutes.

          I always carried an umbrella with me in Melbourne. Even in summer. Often two, because on top of the compact little thing I always carried, I also had a “real” umbrella on known rainy days.
