Mate, I haven't forgiven them for google reader.
They killed my boy.
Not even gmail.. They turned that to shit years ago.
All it should be is a goddamn mailbox. Instead it's now an ad-fueling chunk of spyware that has fucking social media bullshit built into it. I started paying for Proton and have been emptying my Google crap
What have Google developed inhouse that’s good since Gmail?
Android and YouTube were both acquisitions.
Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.
Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.
Google has one of the biggest data/ad empires on the planet and is doing just fine lol
I think that's part of the reason they tend to fail in other areas: it's just not important enough to them except for the data it generates for thier ads.
I don't feel like Chromebooks are all that bad. Especially if the other option is limited capacity computer rooms. I imagine the restrictions of a Chromebook would be similar to the limitations imposed by the IT department.
It's good if you need to protect and restrict a large group of computer illiterate people with low needs for applications or power.
Don't tell them about Gmail, they forgot ruining it. Don't wake sleeping dogs.
