Whats crazy is Hangouts is still going (in the form of Chat and Meet). I’ve had the same group chat going with a few buddies on it for years and years now. And it is still better than anything outside of Signal in my opinion for messaging.

I still don’t understand how Google thought it had a chance at success. They had the same model as Onlive had 10 years prior. It ended up failing for much the same reasons.
I wouldn’t be able to find a use for Alexa if they were paying me $10/month to use it.
Dunno how it is Apples fault that he didn’t take the time to understand how the tools that he uses work.
If I plow my car into a crowd of people because I mistake the gas for the brake that is not GM’s fault.
I mean Android, and Samsung in particular, borrow from Apple all the time as well. Hell Samsung frequently bad mouths Apples for the anti-consumer choices one year then follows suit and does the same thing in a year or 2 themselves.
These kinds of takes are not the flex some seem to think they are in my opinion.
But they did use their mouse for valid company business, so it is all OK.
Well yeah, its using the same dataset as MS copilot.
Spitting out inaccurate (I wish the media would stop feeding into calling it something that sounds less bad like hallucinations) answers is nothing something that will go away until the LLM gains the ability to decern context.
I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.
The real game now is how long will it last before the hype and with the the floor falls out of “AI” and a good chunk of their stock gains with it.
All of these types are articles always leave out the calculations of what your time is worth to you and the maintenance costs of spare hard drives and other equipment. The TCO is not just the initial investment in hardware/software alone. Unless you plan to host something unreliably and value your time at nothing. In which case I hope you don’t get friends or family hooked on your stuff or everyone will have a bad time and be back to Google Drive/Docs and Netflix within 5 years.
The reason they leave it out I feel is because once you factor all of that stuff in the $10/month your paying for Google Drive storage or the ~$25 your paying Netflix starts to make a lot more sense when pared with a decent local backup from a Synology NAS for the “I can’t lose this” stuff like baby pictures of your kids. Which blows their entire premise out of the water.
More likely they will just slowly rebrand search to more AI type things. Then slowly retire the non-AI parts in the background.
I moved to Podcast Republic, and sometimes AntennaPod, on Android, Downcast on iPhone, and just import the OPML from one of those into gpodder to listen on desktop/laptop.
No accounts or other BS to keep up with, just the latest OPML export. Much nicer, and no one can take it away from me or “shut the service down” in the future.
Everyone that was paying attention to the Microsoft Windows support lifecycle web page back then knew that statement was horse shit.
It is likely because Israel vs. Palestine is a much much more hot button issue than Russia vs. Ukraine.
Some people will assault you for having the wrong opinion in the wrong place about the former, and that is press Google does not want to be able to be associated with their LLM in anyway.
Man, can’t wait to see what they do to ban those that manufacture knives the next time someone gets attacked by a criminal with one. /s
The ever increasing subscription prices and rights holders pulling content have nothing to do with it at all I am sure. /s
And here I thought I had a lot of hdd platter coaster’s.
This sort of thing is what keeps me away from Samsung phones.
Don’t give Ubisoft money for their games and they will change their tune or close up shop soon enough.
If they aren’t going to charge for access otherwise then I don’t think being ad supported is such a bad thing. Much more honest than subscription pricing and ads in my opinion.
