Coming from Android, I used to use the Google assistant in hands free situations. Like when cooking or driving. I've found that Siri is TERRIBLE in these situations, because its more likely to punt to give you some links to click on and say "I found this on the web". I just asked Google and Siri "what temperature do I need to cook fish to". Google came right back with 145F. Siri put up some stuff she found on the web, and didn't give a verbal answer. I like almost everything better about the iPhone, but I really wish I could replace Siri with Google Assistant.

145F is beyond well-done for fish Edit: I must refrain myself from changing this comment into a pun about it seeming fishy.

  related, I read recently that the temperatures were lowered for some meats for internal temperature from 165. EDIT: ok, here's the chart: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/safe-temperature-chart https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and... some things are still 165, but some are now 145. ham in some cases is 140.

    Came across this last year, which intuitively made sense to me--definitely have had chicken cooked at lower than 165F and didn't get sick. I've not seen charts for other types of meat though. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-complete-guide-to-sous-vide-chicken-breast https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-complete-guide-to-s... "The upshot is: Food safety is a function of both temperature and time. What the USDA is looking for is a 7.0 log10 relative reduction in salmonella bacteria in chicken. That is, a reduction that ensures that out of every 10,000,000 bacteria living on that piece of chicken to start, only one will survive."

      I think you realize this already but having getting salmonella from undercooked chicken is not a guaranteed thing.

      but in the chart, poultry is still 165.

The only time I found Siri useful is disabling the bluetooth in my MBA. I have a setting that whenever that BT mouse is connected, the trackpad is automatically disabled. Sometime I forgot to bring it with me when I brought the MBA outside or other room. I asked Siri to disable the bluetooth so I can have the trackpad functionality back.
