If this is the only designed in way to make multiple queries without saying "Hey Siri" repeatedly, then it is required for that operation. You literally have people above calling this the "solution" to the issue raised.

So by extension you'd be happy if the EU imposed a 300% tax on Boeing imports? Even if it meant Americans lost jobs. That's what this attitude results in: trade war.

It is free in cost, not in terms of your privacy. For example let's say you handed your phone to your kid, they downloaded a free app, gave that app your entire contact list, and then that app spammed everyone you know? For the sake of

You're right about CTRL-ALT-Delete, the problem is that users are terrible at remembering to do so without being prompted. I created a Windows XP phish-login box back in the day, that simply took you right to the login box without prom

Well this finally explains why Bluetooth kept re-enabling itself seemingly at random after I turned it off in iOS 11... I agree with the EFF on this one, at no time was any of how this works communicated, particularly not the "turns ba

As the article very clearly says, this camera is a self contained unit, nothing is sent back to Google. If you want to upload your photos to e.g. Google Photos you can, but you have to manually do that.

No point, banks are liable for fraud rather than the consumer. I believe consumer's liability is capped at $50-500 depending on how quickly the fraud is reported. Just make sure you don't wait past 60 days to report. Credit cards
