Because there's not much left to kill.

Nope. It's something I suggested the other day: https://twitter.com/killedbygoogle/status/173591315266219646...

Heads up: this post is from January 2023. Google recently extended the ability to convert controllers to Bluetooth mode by one year. The new deadline is December 31, 2024.

This is exactly how Google needed to handle this situation, and they need to be praised for it! The shutdown of Stadia was completely predictable, but I am overwhelmingly surprised at them providing refunds to users for games & hardware

No no no. You see? If you want to be a Birdwatch contributor, you'll have to pay them. /s It's actually pretty okay. The contributor & rating system seems to work well, and contributions are anonymous. I participate mostl

My parent worked at a water treatment plant in a small town. They could have easily screwed around with the chemical compositions without anyone knowing. Nearly anyone could have brute forced the control room: a single key/lock would n

Uh, no. Sign languages, like American Sign Language, are not "simplistic" versions of spoken languages. They are complete, complex languages with their own robust syntax and grammatical structures. A better way to explain this is

We actually got the announcement nearly timed by averaging user predictions: https://whenwillgooglekillstadia.com

Great question! Two people actually guessed correctly (not posting their names for privacy), but the average date across for all users (October 6, 2022) was surprisingly close to the date they announced it would be shutting down. https:&#x

Takes a couple minutes for the PR to merge. :D

Yeah. This is a great point. I would be absolutely lost in life with ADHD and being without stimulants.

It will be wild if this does work. I (@killedbygoogle) would be very impressed if this takes off again. Google significantly harmed Orkut's reputation through mismanagement and modern platforms emerged in its space. Certainly a difficu

All of the primary reasons I purchased are great. Only a couple snags: the cord was way too short if you don't have a compatible port on the back of your desktop monitor, and the camera gets warm and stays warm. Too warm. The software

Stream Deck lets you run a GET request from the default button set. The code part is pretty uninteresting, really: express handler wrapped around the Slack Web API. Throw in some query vars so I can set the emoji, text, and set the minutes

My favorite use of Stream Deck (XL) is hooking it up to a small, custom API to quickly change my Slack status at work. It’s so nice to smash a single button and walk away to lunch or walk my dog. I also have the top row filled with world cl

Apple Maps has this as well. You can report police, hazards, and accidents.

Sure. A grown adult can take on a turkey, but that adult will definitely take some blows from the turkey's spurs. Like someone else mentioned, it's not worth it over a public space in the city.

I was diagnosed at 8 years old. Was on Adderall for 10 years. Went off of it as I entered my 20s. Started it again at 31 after doing a rediagnosis, and I've been on it for a year. I now regret not starting it up again in my 20s. I don&

I'd really encourage you to read up on how stimulants affect people with ADHD. It is quite the opposite of "performance enhancing" that you're implying here.

A lot of people using "ADD," should know that it doesn't exist anymore. Now it's all diagnosed as ADHD with three sub types: combined (the most common), hyperactive, and inactive. "ADD" aligns with the inactive

Ah, yeah. That makes sense. Yes, the inability to block certain sites is such a terrible flaw in Google's approach.
