So, if you think Siri is stupid now, just wait.

Try asking Siri a very basic question, like "How old am I", or "When will I be 59 1/2 years old".  Siri will suggest websites; which is asinine.  Siri knows my birthday, anniversary, the birthday of my kids, friends and neighbors (as long as I have the information in my contacts); but is unable to use that date, and a calendar to answer very basic questions.  Voice recognition on Siri has improved - but Siri's ability to do anything useful with that information is almost 5 years behind both Google, and Amazon - which is pathetic - since Apple practically invented a useful Virtual Assistant.

Now, between Cortana, Echo and Google Echo - Siri is pretty much a dead last competitor; when it should be the BEST - by far.

Please, for the love of God - let the new Mac Mini's allow users to add RAM and internal drives.

Soldering down the RAM, means that I'll continue using my 2012 Mac Mini's with 16 GB RAM, and my homemade Fusion Drive.  I will not buy a hamstrung Mac Mini, I will find myself FORCED to go back to Windows (and I don't want to do that).

My behavior changed as soon as I saw it was on.

I disabled it.  If I want a babysitter - I'll hire one.

Not true at all.  Many Engineers list their patents, as evidence that they are both creative, and technically competent.  The fact that you have 'x' patents under your name, gives you a substantial edge both in finding a job, and negotiating your salary.

Used to be that every Office release, added some new feature that was either an emerging technology, or some tool that made the update necessary for a business to remain competitive. Looks like the past couple Office releases have been little more than an over-rated, over-priced money grab.
