It’s strange that @Google AI requires app activity history to be turned on to work in voice mode! It’s almost like they are actively trying to not let customers use their AI products. This is what happens when you work forward from system limits vs work backward from customers

Simple math folks - If a number decreases by 10% then it must increase by about 11.11% to get back to the original. Recovery has to overcompensate for the fall

Research shows not caring about what other people think of you leads to happiness while modern IT corporate are designed to force you to think what other think. Code reviews, design reviews, quarterly or annual peer feedback, promotion feedback. You get therapist for happiness.

As a nation, we must promote people who build better city sewage drains and national highways as much as we promote people who enable political parties win elections. To run a nation, executive skills are equally important as persuasion skills if not more.
