at this point there are only 3 google products you can be sort of sure won’t be cancelled: search, gmail and YouTube and even then those are sort of a 70% confidence at best they won’t be cancelled

search almost highest risk of the three, because you just know there are dozens of pitches for relaunching search as a weird ai thing floating around google atm. which they wouldn't view as a cancellation, but realistically indistinguishable

download.com remember when the most reliable place to download poo poo was a cnet-owned website? also kazza lite, the one that had the built-in malware. i kinda miss those kinds of file sharing, even if they really sucked. soulseek just isn't the same somehow.

If your app supports that request system then it works fine, if it doesn't you have to generate your own app specific login keys and so on but it still works.

This stuff is very easy, this is Google! I'm still exceptionally salty about how zoom ended up being the default external video calling app, when Google Meet Red Premium or whatever it's called this quarter was there, and worked, and worked well imo, and just needed some changes to allow things like organization changes in meeting. Simple poo poo like letting the meeting owner make joining participants muted by default. Anyway, I think they've finally added reaction emojis?

google completely losing the videoconferencing race to some tiny company run by a couple retired plantronics dudes - like to the extent that ‘zoom’ is now used as a generic term for all video calls - is a product failure of such a grand extent, such a massive unforced error, that it could only have happened at google. Even MS at its clumsiest could not have bobbled a lead that hard and that fast.

though the counter-counterpoint is that microsoft remains huge in that space. almost purely by bundling shenanigans, but, hey, google didn't even manage that much.

Corel Gallery Magic, I still have the 8 CD binder and a dictionary sized book filled with thumbnails so you knew which CD to put in for your multitude of clipart projects. Definitely got this at a Sam's.
