this is why i'm not completely 100% with google photos. i'm ready to spend the monthly fees to store all my pictures in its original resolution, use google photos to manage/search my photos. except i don't want to commit to using it and then finding out google doesn't want to support it and just dumps it. same thing with google voice. i use it but i've never committed to using it as my main phone number. maybe it's a…
Where is the shut-down message? I just get the pricing page for GSS in Dutch. EDIT: I was also able to create a new site search engine.
I see it on the English site. I bet if you set your language to English, it would show up.

Google are only interested in selling things by the billion or billion, therefore things like the robots have to go. This is one of those products that does not sell to millions and therefore it has to be got rid of. Not sure when the 'must sell billions' idea came along, it was before the Pixel phone but is a relatively new idea for Google.
It's sort of the startup philosophy in reverse. "Only do things that have economies of scale." As if Google is just one person controlling a billion robots, and can do anything a billion robots can do, but can't do anything that requires more than the oversight of a single human for the entire project. (In est, Google is the player-character in Factorio.)
This could be a good opportunity for DuckDuckGo to make some money and improve awareness of their brand.
Anyone know of a alternative product that would let this keep happening? When we implemented this originally, I did not find any competing options from either Microsoft, Amazon or Yahoo- That was 2 years ago though, so things may have changed for image search API's.

look at the source. Something makes me think this will work in Netscape 4. edit: nope. http://imgur.com/a/Jt38q not really. edit 2: Here's a HP B-series PA-RISC from my closet running actual vintage NS-4, also no, http://i.imgur.com/tt7AYqj.png (the top window is a search for the term "cat") Google however, almost still works http://i.imgur.com/kdTd1AU.png ... I give them an A. hn and kernel.org get a security algori…
c2 recently became obsessed with "federated wikis" apparently due to some unimpressed person threatening to batch-delete the entire site. Unfortunately JavaScript-based solutions became interesting. I'm mildly curious what would happen if you tried to build NetSurf on that thing. It compiles for AmigaOS and RISC OS...

Looks like some serious effort. To put things in context, I can't do remote X to a modern machine as in
$ DISPLAY=desktop:0 xterm&
This gives a protocol error. So instead I'm running it all through a vncserver, which uses a more legacy protocol. I've tried things like
$ Xnest -query hp :1
but I get the classic CDE hour glass, a black screen, and nothing more.
It's honestly nice to pull this thing out of the closet just to remember how unfriendly things used to be. You type a command and realize "well gee, this thing doesn't have that. Alright, here's a more painful way..." You don't even get things like arrow keys and backspace for free. Gotta stty them.
Shit, I use this for image search. Basically we let users submit the title of items they own (for everydaycarry.com), we do a google image search for that title and display back the top 5 results from googles image search to the user, letting them click on the appropriate product. We then link that product to the google image source URL. Anyone know of a alternative product that would let this keep happening? When we…
