I tried Gemini before. The problem was reliability.

E. g. I say “add an event to my calendar: tomorrow 2 p.m., doctor visit”, and it parses the voice perfectly. The regular assistant would then just create the entry.

But Gemini sometimes goes like: “Adding an entry to your calendar is easy! Do you have an iPhone? Then these are the steps: …”

Me too; it’s BECAUSE I’m so old that I appreciate a general rooting what this is all about.

Thanks for the unappreciated ELI2

In the 90s during the first “mild hype”, I had Suse for quite a while, twice. Same problem with unavailable software though, I remember PGP Disc not being available back then. I remember the cool kids talking about Red Hat and Debian, you must have been one of them.

Probably going back now, since my 2011 hardware won’t work with Windows 11.
