Something ironic here:

Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

Also some cool stuff here like Youtube Originals, Google Domains, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Angular is dead? Or at least this release announcement from 3 months ago seems to suggest alive-ness: https://blog.angular.dev/angular-v18-is-now-available-e79d5ac0affe

At this point, it seems the only safe projects at Google are Search, Youtube, Gmail, Android, Google Maps, maybe Pixel phones, and Google Cloud.

AngularJS 1.0 is dead but AngularJS 2.0 and greater lifes on as Angular

Chromecast died??

Technically replaced by a similar product with a new name. I liked the simplicity of Chromecast, but if you bought the last two generations (anything past Chromecast Ultra) then you already have the more complicated device. So if you want to cast to a device, you can still do that.

I'm as shocked as you are. I mean, I knew it will happen eventually but seeing people casually recommending Chromecast here and there, as recently as a few weeks ago, made me think it still had at least a few yeats of life ahead of him.
