And yet, with Android Auto, Google stuck the dumbest version of assistant to handle voice queries.

(While driving to hardware store) "Hey Google, what size screws does a standard VESA mount require?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand"

It's the ONE place i need a working assistant/AI the most. Yet it's useless with natural language queries 99% of the time.

Dawn French was (is) one of the most recognisable English actor (English, as in the country, not the language). Getting her to do the dub just because she has "French" in her name was the joke.

in English... Mostly for Jennifer English

They should get Dawn French to do the French dub

Ireland and the Netherlands are most definitely heavyweights.

But I agree with the sentiment, can we not editorialise headlines, please?

We Australians are blessed to have Whirlpool. They've been around for nearly three decades and are still thriving.

As a parent, helping children to name their emotions when they feel something is the very foundation of getting them to recognise what's happening and developing strategies to cope with the strong feelings.

I've been told by parents of kids with autism, and by friends who's received formal diagnosis that it is a very similar mechanism. The 'label' helps with recognising patterns of behaviour, and helps them to develop coping mechanisms.

I had to double back to this comic, because I only got the pun two minutes after I scrolled past it...

The gympie-gympie is 100% natural! It is a cure-all, mainly by making you forget whatever ails you because you're in too much pain...

And also, that is a very nice coat. If I had anything half as nice, I would wear the hell out of it.

A fully white background (as in, literally nothing, just plain white, no numbers) would be much better than whatever that was...

You did the clock a favour.
