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

  2. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 🌀 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 」

  9. Another service #killedbygoogle: "dark web report".
    One of the last few services I used by them. Oh well.

  10. Huh, apparently #Google quietly killed the Workspace Individual plan. #KilledByGoogle

  11. I have posted about this before but it still needs to be shown from time to time... Google are brutal at times!

  12. *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

  13. #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.

    Après #KilledbyGoogle, #KilledbyMicrosoft...
    Vous pouvez trouver #KilledbyMozilla "Une liste des produits et services Mozilla abandonnés".

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

  15. 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.

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

    image via theverge.com

    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.”

  17. #KilledByGoogle :
    #Asistant - never mind.
    Searching with #Javascript disabled - not really killed, there are other search engines.

  18. 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

  19. maps.google.com/locationhistor will stop working in the browser on June 9.

    support.google.com/maps/answer

    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?

  20. 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

  21. RIP Google Wave, you were too pure for this world. 🕊️ Check out #KilledByGoogle for a graveyard tour of Google’s greatest hits and misses. #TechObituaries #WeHardlyKnewYe 💀📱🌐

  22. Have AWS entered their Killed by Google Era? I've heard more deprecations in the last few months than ever before.Today it's AWS App Mesh

    > After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue support for AWS App Mesh, effective September 30th, 2026.

  23. When a #Google service gets shut down, does the code linger on in the monorepo? #killedbygoogle

  24. With the loss of Google Podcasts, I'm looking for a new podcast aggregator app.

    I tried YouTube Music: it takes close to six clicks to get to an episode, and that's painful. Also, it's quite clunky and creates barriers between myself and content. That's bad.

    #Podcasts, what do you recommend?

  25. There’s a reason I don’t use my Gmail address for much anymore. Privacy aside, I just don’t trust that it’s even going to exist in 10 more years, let alone 5, given the rate Google keeps killing products.

  26. Leyendo esto sobre una nueva desaparición de algo de Google a través de @jmdiaznz en el artículo de #hipertextual descubro la web killedbygoogle.com/ #killedbygoogle y de paso unas cuantas cosas que pensaba que seguían existiendo pero la habían escondido por algún lado. Hoy ha desaparecido el sistema de podcasts. Me ha recordado cuando desapareció el Reader y desde entonces perdí el gusto de pararme por los blogs. Me temo que me perderé ahora unos cuantos podcasts.

  27. I do Google rewards because eh, free Pokémon Go money... But I bet it will be joining the #GoogleGraveyard one of these days soon, because it seems to casually waste its customers' money.

    Like, I just watched a video, usually a "lucrative" endeavor, and then the next (2nd) of 7 questions was "Do you live in Connecticut?"

    Google, you know where I fucking live. You literally know exactly where I am, in my house, at this very instant. If the people running a survey about this video only want Connecticut-ters, why the fuck are you wasting MY time?
