Yup, I think the announcement was for "late 2024" so prob around this time next year. They'll be paperweights, as far as I can tell, there's no local functionality and the cloud software is getting shutdown
If you're in the edu sector Google said something about working with them to reimburse the cost, but regular businesses can kick rocks apparently
I swear, these "evil" companies vanquish themselves. How does Google seriously expect anyone to invest any non-zero amount of time + capital into learning and integrating their fly-by-night dilletantic ventures…
Like, real talk G, stop threatening and making good on giving me a good time. Hopefully they will take a page from Brav's book although I will never trust or use them. Some things just need to die imao
I mean, I get the logic but re:valid business strategy, that is increasinly clearly not the case. At least as long as alienating and giving people a hard nudge to De-Google is indicative of failure, maybe I'm out of line here. All I know is I'm not hearing a certain generecized verb these days so much as the antithetical of said verb. Although I get the argument to the contrary, something something echo chamber…
Their unreliabillity is legendary and at meme-level. They are like a hotel that closes up shop and moves the set overnight while you're sleeping so you wake up naked in the middle of the street. I'm surprised they even have real office buildings/campuses and not just movie sets on stilts.

@cheese_greater @cm0002 They don't want to waste time on things which are not popular. There's nothing wrong with this strategy.
