Summary
-Apple designed Siri to put up and maintain boundaries, so to speak. "Siri really wants to say, 'Listen, that's not what I'm here for, right? I'm here to help you. I can help you get things done.” -A special textile to create a jacket capable of atmospheric water harvesting used a special fabric designed to collect moisture from the air and gather it in detachable harvesting units rather than simply having the textile absorb the water. -A teardown of the Trump Mobile T1 revealed that it's basically the same as an HTC handset. iFixit concluded the T1 is "a phone designed in China, made in China, with the vast majority of parts sourced from China."
