How does one provide migration paths when Google owns the data, licenses, etc. on their servers? Just one of many ways that Service as a Software Substitute reduces user freedom.
Google will provide you with downloads your data for a lot of their projects: https://takeout.google.com/
A good model will be to start working on a new startup with a competing product as soon as google launches something. In couple of years when they shut down, provide migration paths. Swim in $$$.
Well. They just announced Google Cloud Print's death [1] so, anyone interested? [1] https://9to5google.com/2019/11/21/google-cloud-print-dead-20...
At least the current Chromebooks let you print on a networked printer.

I do have gigabit fiber. On my Xbox I often don't get around to pre-ordering games and there is limited disk space so if I want to play a old game I have to wait again.
A bigger harddrive for your xBox would cost less than the Stadia controller.
Cloud gaming is solution looking for a problem. It's not customer demand driven. Nobody want's cloud gaming (at least not yet). They haven't shown anything compelling why this would be a game changer for end users. The games are not more fun or unique than on any other platforms. Any of the cloud arguments also hold for consoles or PCs on internet connected games. I think the site may be a bit optimistic.
For now. I think it‘s a good solution for certain people. I have gigabit fiber, but no interest to buy a gaming pc atm. So what if I quickly want to look into a game without spending thousands? Could be an OK solution.

"Playstation now" was just a rebranded acquisition and is not fully released to be played on phones/ipads etc in all areas. Nor did it had half the markting of Stadia. It's seemed more of a test bed, for something they plan to do together with the PS5
Oh, that's interesting. Do you have any more information about the acquisition? Everything I've read online said they developed it in-house. > not fully released to be played on phones/ipads etc in all areas Yes, the feature set is different. But, again, debuted in 2014 . And it is available on PC, which shows that at least it's somewhat cross-platform. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/playstation-now/ps...
>June 30-Sony Computer Entertainment has agreed and signed an agreement to acquire Gaikai for about $ 380 million [12].

What would you have expected them to do? Would you point to the user if Stack Overflow stopped hosting content? Or GitHub? Before places like imgur, I'd see forum postings linking to broken images hosted on personal sites--so self hosting is unfeasible. Geocities data is still around as well as Usenet postings going back to the 80s.

Thanks for the link, but sadly... iOS App - Android App - Windows Phone App Not interested unless there's a plain old HTML over the web thing which Reader did well.
If you'd watched the demonstration video, by 0:34 in you'd have seen that Inoreader is indeed Web-based. I've never used any phone app for it.
But it seems I've tried InoReader before, I'm giving it another shot.

if someone's looking for an rss reader recommendation - i tried feedly, but inoreader is my favorite by far (not affiliated, just a v happy user)
I am pretty sure that I tried Feedly in the post-"Oh no, Google Reader is going away!" panic everyone else using the service was in at the time, and could not replicate the feel. The Old Reader was the closest alternative I found among the several I tried, but soon afterwards Inoreader appeared, and I've been extremely happy on it ever since. (If only Inoreader would correctly open the comment link and not the origin…
I'm pretty sure that's down to HN themselves choosing to put the original article's URL into each entry's "link" field

The view of Google within tech (oh, but the interviews are so hard...everyone who works there is a genius) is quite opposed to the view of Google without. They are quite poorly run. You have this huge monopoly product that is locked up super-voting shares. The people in possession of those shares appear to have no management ability or even interest (or just ability in the case of Larry Page). There is no oversight.…

I understand the cynicism of this community to Stadia but implore you all to think a little broader. Stadia is different, with this product Google is trying something really innovative. For one, the fact that Stadia actually costs money should be a signal of Google's long term ambition here. Yes, Fiber also cost money but was bogged down by the hell that is infrastructure development. Stadia will require a substantia…
