MacVoices #20083: Adam Engst on Smart Assistants, The Effect of Advertising, and Issue #1,500 of TidBITS

Adam Engst discusses the state of iOS 13, iPadOS 13 and Catalina, why our smart assistants aren't smart enough (yet), and why he is so steamed up about your data being sold. From Netflix to subscriptions, paragliding to printing address labels, and after 1,500 issues of TidBITS, Adam has a lot to say.
