Google launched "Google Wallet" in 2011. Killed it in 2015 for "Android Pay". Android Pay was killed for Google Pay. Then Google Pay was deprecated for the version of Google Wallet that you currently use.
This was my favorite quote from the article.
But neither of those books was actually checked out from the Hayden Library on his trip. One of the books was checked out from another library, and another was stolen off the shelves. Norris refused to return the books at first, and Alexa Eccles, the executive director of the Community Library Network, told me in a phone call that, when Norris eventually returned them, the barcodes had been cut out of the book covers, and the library has not been able to return them to circulation or get new copies.
Beeper Mini registered your phone number with Apple and connected directly to the iMessage servers. That version was killed after three days of usage. The mac mini farm still works but that's just through an apple ID email address.

Update from Scholastic
(literature.cafe)
Dear Authors and lllustrators,
I want to update you regarding the Book Fairs Share Every Story/Celebrate Every Voice case.
First, I want to apologize on behalf of Scholastic. Even if the decision was made with good intention, we understand now that it was a mistake to segregate diverse books in an elective case. We sincerely apologize to every author, illustrator, licensor, educator, librarian, parent, and reader who was hurt by our action. We recognize and acknowledge the pain caused, and that we have broken the trust of some of our publishing community, customers, friends, trusted partners, and staff, and we also recognize that we will now need to regain that trust.
This case will be discontinued starting with our next season in January. For the remaining fairs in the fall, Book Fairs is working on a pivot plan as we speak. We will find an alternate way to get a greater range of books into the hands of children. We remain committed to the books in this collection and support their sale throughout our distribution channels.
Our commitment to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ authors and stories remains foundational for our company. Scholastic believes in the basic freedoms of all individuals. We oppose discrimination of any kind on the basis of age, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or national origin. We are committed to providing access and choice, and to helping young readers develop critical skills needed to exercise democracy and build a society free of prejudice and hate. Equally important, we pledge to stand with you as we redouble our efforts to combat the laws restricting children's access to books. This will not be our last communication on the matter, but we wanted to get this initial Word out. We look forward to working to create a better and more just future together.
Sincerely,
Ellie Berger
President

If the choices are to continue to sell these books at book fairs and to not sell them and they are now allowing schools to not sell them, it seems like they caved, correct?
We can hope for redemption. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/eragon-tv-series-disney-plus-1235325019/

Library bomb threats prompt closings citywide, special police attention (Chicago)

I was in a couple reading groups through 2020 but I always read the book too quickly and didn't want to spoil it for anyone else so I found it not super beneficial to me.
