@Tom @Binder … Or they were betting the product would be #killedByGoogle before anyone had time to request an RMA

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT #TENOR WAS OWNED BY #GOOGLE, HELLO????

Wer auf bigtech / kommerzielle Angebote setzt, muss damit rechnen, daß Produkte ersatzlos abgekündigt werden, teurer, von anderen übernommen (und eingestampft). Manchmal verliert man Lizenzen, alle Daten, oft genug werden Geräte funktionslos .

Darüber gibt es sogar Sammlungen, wie #killedbygoogle #MicrosoftGraveyard oder #microsoftkilllist

Bieten Quasi-Monopolisten untereinander Schnitstellen, ist das "Desaster" nur eine Frage der Zeit.

And the sad news is :neofox_sad: : #Gmail took the oportunity to warn me that they are removing the POP3 connection system anyway this year.

But there is no good alternative if you want to stay on GMail as forwarding mail there doesn't work at all (I tried for years)

So maybe i'll need to self host but sending mail is actually the problem if I do that, not receiving... that protocol is clearly broken.

🌀 After 25 Years, Google Has Finally Killed Dreamcast Web Browser Support

｢ Google has discontinued support for the Dreamcast's PlanetWeb 3.0 web browser.

While Sega shut down Dreamcast's servers many years ago, resourceful fans have been getting consoles online for some time now – and even creating private servers for many of the machine's games in the process ｣

Another service #killedbygoogle: "dark web report".

*I'd be mildly alarmed by Vision-Language-Action AI if it wasn't being built by Google, who will promptly strangle any Google initiative that doesn't buy yachts for its shareholders #KilledByGoogle

#Mozilla ferme encore plus de services.
Suppression de ses services Pocket "cessera de fonctionner le 8 juillet 2025." et Fakespot "également en fin de vie".
Pour Deep Fake Detector, ce sera pour le 26 juin 2025.

Cool story. It would be nice if we could see more of this in IT instead of being #killedbygoogle etc.

I hate Google. I hate them so much. I really, really do.

Not sure if this counts as a #killedbygoogle but they have just emailed a notice that Gen 1 and Gen 2 Nest thermostats will be no longer supported, including by Google Home.

Grrr.

Google discontinues Nest Protect smoke alarm and Nest x Yale door lock

In a post on its Nest community forum, Google says it made the decision to ditch its popular smoke alarm and door lock as part of its move toward “building a platform that all device makers and developers can use to spur innovation in the home.” The company added that as the smart home evolves, it “must continue to refine our portfolio of devices to meet the needs of our customers.”

You will take my Fitbit from my cold, dead hands.

I wore my first one for 5 years. This most recent one, I'm dead set on wearing until it breaks. I'm scared that there'll never be another device like it, and it'll be #KilledByGoogle. #SmartWatches

https://maps.google.com/locationhistory will stop working in the browser on June 9.

Opt-in to using the app becomes mandatory, if one wants to keep the data.

The alternative is to download a copy and find a FLOSS replacement, of which I've heard there are few which are graceful to the battery.

Does anybody know some, where one can ideally import the takeout copy?

Has anyone ever managed to flash a different OS on a #Jamboard Kiosk/tv?

A friendo of mine has one and I’m trying to convince them to install #postmarketOS on it so that it’s more than a #KilledByGoogle 5-digit paper weight :3

Good night, sweet prince.
