Another day, another product joining the Google graveyard. On the upside, this time it's not a messaging app.

From The Verge:

"You might remember Google had a $5,000 Jamboard whiteboarding meeting room display — well, that’s also discontinued. The Jamboard hardware will no longer receive software updates on September 30th, 2024, and its license subscriptions will expire the same day.

"Then users will have until December 31st, 2024, to back up Jam their files, and on that date, Google will cut off access and begin permanently deleting files."

Pity the schools, universities, and businesses that paid Google $5000 for a "smart" whiteboard, only to now be told their files will be deleted.

At this point if you invest into any new Google product than that's on you lol

Which means bard (and any new AI offering) is already dead?

You definitely always fear that it could be a possibility with Google.

Like with Google Plus. Did you know they gave out internal bonuses if teams integrated Google Plus into their product lines? The whole thing was setup to win and disappeared basically the same year. It's kinda amazing.
