Another day, another product joining the Google graveyard. On the upside, this time it’s not a messaging app.
From The Verge:
"You might remember Google had a $5,000 Jamboard whiteboarding meeting room display — well, that’s also discontinued. The Jamboard hardware will no longer receive software updates on September 30th, 2024, and its license subscriptions will expire the same day.
“Then users will have until December 31st, 2024, to back up Jam their files, and on that date, Google will cut off access and begin permanently deleting files.”
Pity the schools, universities, and businesses that paid Google $5000 for a “smart” whiteboard, only to now be told their files will be deleted.

Unsurprising.
Someone was unkind to cats and ADHD sufferers by suggesting Google was like a kitten with ADHD in attention span to projects & products.
Also Betas?
Moral: Don’t depend on Google/Alphabet for ANYTHING. Only use Google docs to collaborate information stored outside of Google.
