Usually by the second or third question they got as much out of Google Assistant as they are going to get (because they just keep asking variations of the same thing, but don't quite grasp that it is really the same question, or they have now gotten to a hyper specific question). By question 5 or 6 they typically are done with Google and come to us to discuss further.

Summed up: convenience, and curiosity.

I can lay in bed and ask if to turn off the lights, and all lights in the house shut off (including the ones the kids forgot to turn off). That convenience is phenomenal.

And my kids who are too young to own their own devices can ask it questions. Whatever is on their random little minds, which very frequently leads them to a topic that they then come to us to discuss in depth. I love that it helps them foster their curiosity about the world around them and often enough leads to healthy conversations with Mom or Dad.

I was also confused about that until seeing this article... Yay direct war with Russia rather than proxy war... Wooo.....

One of the few games I've Platinum'd. It was exceptionally fun to play, with a huge variety of movement, and I desperately wish they would make it into a full blown sequel.

Not shocked that the FAST model has unpredictable revenue downturns. But I was surprised to read that Plex has roughly 175 employees - that seems way, way higher than I would have expected.

Oh without a doubt.

I do miss some of the silly quirky fun subs (r/HyruleEngineering I'm looking at you), but my normal usage needs have been met by a blend of Lemmy and Kbin (if Lemmy is having a rough day, I subscribed to the same communities on Kbin and can access from that side, or vice-versa).

TortoiseGit user here. Love that it integrates with Windows Explorer so I don't have to constantly be opening an app first to fire off some Git commands.

Thank you for linking the source! Seems OP was just mistaken about what they were seeing.
