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.

> "Killed by Google" has been claiming it was dead for a long time, but I'm sure will now dishonestly find a way to double-count it. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but my plan …

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…

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 contrib…

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 b…

Project Loon was killed last year.

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 gramma…

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 t…

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.

The query "my ip address" still works for me. https://www.google.com/search?q=my+ip+address

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 mod…

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 c…

Incredible! I'm a big fan this type of archival work. Great job!

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 q…

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 …

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

Hah! Ironic that I see them mostly crossing Franklin Ave on my way to the dog park.

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…

Our true national bird taking to the streets of DC to inflict terror on lawmakers. We have turkeys all over urban Minneapolis. It is easy to get them irritated. I keep my distance …
