Yes. They already angered the game dev community, and few believe Stadia will stay around. This angers the industrial internet-of-things community. You can get Siemens industrial equipment tied to Google IoT Core. Hopefully you don't already have it installed. Industrial controls people think in terms of decades, not months. A Coursera class on Google IoT Core for industrial control started today. 77,000 people signe…

#93I'm in the process of migrating PrintNanny.ai's remote command/event system off Cloud IoT Core. I've been running on IoT Core for 1.5 years. Here's my breakdown of the costs... - $236.99 in usage, approx 1% of project's total revenue - ~20 hours to implement pub/sub applications running on a mix of Raspberry Pi & GCP VMs. Implementations were in Rust and Python. It would have taken much, much longer to stand up a man…
Don't hesitate to join the NATS slack group and reach out if you need any help, we're a friendly bunch
Oh very cool, see you in there! Thanks for the work you've put in.

Exactly, everybody who bet on Google in IoT has just got a giant RMA bill. Same has happened when Azure changed its root cert, which was likelly hardcoded into 99% of deployed devices using it.
Do IoT devices not have a USB port to allow for updating of the firmware?
IoT devices can be all kinds of things, from vending machines, HVAC systems, industrial machinery, vehicles, and so on. Some of it might not be updateable over the air, and can be located in all kinds of inconvenient places. I wouldn't want to be the one that has to manually deploy an update to sewer flow monitoring devices, or heavy mining machinery that's in the middle of nowhere.

#953 years ago Google killed off Android Things[1] and told everyone to migrate to IoT Core. Now IoT Core is dead. But don't worry about all that, just connect with your Google Cloud account manager! They'll tell you exactly which Google platform you should migrate to next. [1]: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/02/an-update-...
This reminds me of a David Letterman skit where Letterman was working at a Taco Bell drivethru. He told a customer that they were out of several drinks in a row and then said something like “ma’am, I need to know what drink you want so that I can tell you we’re out of it” in response to the lady asking what drinks did they have.
Reminds me of an old Soviet joke. A guy walks into a shop, sees how empty it is and asks "You're out of beef?" The clerk explains, "No, the butcher's shop across the street is the one who is out of beef. At this store, we specialize in being out of fish".

#96I don't work for Google or really care, but the GCP bashing dogpile every time they cancel a product is just getting pretty unimaginative. They offer hundreds to thousands of services, and some bets just don't work out. Glad to see many other people have perfectly functioning crystal balls.

#97Perhaps one should just migrate to AWS IoT Core.

#98I wonder what it’s like spending the best years of your life building vaporware for Google.

>few believe Stadia will stay around I think the people that still think Stadia is gonna shut down any time soon are just the gamer blogs/communities that have been running shutdown rumor pieces every month or so for the last 3 years. (Most recently the killedbygoogle guy's "my friend heard on facebook that Stadia's shutting down..." post that went viral.) Stadia's actively signing hardware deals with Samsung/LG and…
Twitter users who apparently play Stadia tell quite a different story in every encounter I've had with them.

As a former head of engineering for a mid-sized IoT company with many tens of thousands of devices deployed in the field using a competing product (no, not the AWS one), seeing this made my stomach churn. This was my second biggest fear after waking up to a ransomware attack. It's hard to imagine anyone trusting Google for IoT again. I will certainly put them at the bottom of my list for any other infrastructure I de…
Had I started an IoT company, I would not have depended on any cloud IoT product. VMs, blob storage, containers, load balancers, hosted databases. But not anything labelled "IoT".
I have worked in an IoT company, and sometime time-to-market makes uncomfortable dependancies necessary. Hopefully people making those compromises have escape plans, but I doubt all of them do. I expect to read several "Our incredible journey" product end-of-life posts as Google kill off startups without a way to recover from this shutdown...
