I have no particular love for Google as a company in its current form, but I've got to admit that as an ecosystem of tools (particularly for work) they get a lot right. I'm new to the fediverse, but one thing I liked about the forum-that-should-not-be-named were the strong communities around sharing knowledge relating to Google Workspace. Does such a community, even a small one, exist anywhere out here?

Funny how it is the worker bees that have to pull the over time to fix issues that are probably the result of demands from some management stooge that didn’t appreciate the outcomes of their demands.

I was gonna share this report I wrote for school with a friend. I remember throughout college I kept my school files organized on Drive, but when I went to look for it nothing seemed right. The rule is that I have a folder for every class I had organized by semester and year and alot of them are gone. Classes I know I took I have no record of anything I did there.

It's kind of a bummer. I found some record of me writing this report, I wrote it in December 2020.. Has there been some files loss in Google Drive that I didn't know about? It's kind of a bummer that I can't look at these old things I did but, I'm just hoping for the best.

Gotta love how companies can remove features after you've bought them. Should be grounds for being eligible return imo

The latest navigation, apps and entertainment updates for Android Auto and cars with Google built-in announced at CES 2024.

Do more with Google on your Android devices with new ways to help your devices work better together.

How do they do it and how much does someone pay to get their name/business to show up on Google maps when a random googler is navigating to an entirely unrelated destination?

It’s currently limited to 2M which is really tough. I know I’m lucky that they haven’t outright killed google voice but I still think it would be reasonable to keep up with the times.

Maybe one day we’ll get proper support for video
