Pour one out for Google Tables. 💀 The work-tracking tool and Airtable rival is officially heading to the Google Graveyard, to be discontinued by December 16, 2025. Another product added to the list. What's your go-to no-code database tool now that Tables is getting the axe?

Google is shutting down Tables, its Airtable rival | TechCrunch

Google said the Tables app will not be supported after December 16, 2025, and advised that users export or migrate their data to either Google Sheets or AppSheet instead, depending on their needs.

❗️„Google Scholar is doomed“, prognostiziert Hannah Schelley. In 5 Jahren könnte Schluss sein:

🔹 Kein Geschäftsmodell: #googlescholar macht keinen Umsatz & hat z. B. keine Werbung
🔹 Konkurrenz durch KI-Tools: neue Systeme liefern Studierenden & Forschenden schnellere, bequemere Antworten
🔹 Hohe Abhängigkeit: Unis, Förderinstitutionen & Forschende bauen zentrale Entscheidungen auf Scholar-Daten auf

Google Scholar Is Doomed

Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

@thelinuxEXP

#BigTech really seems to enjoy lighting the fuse to the hypothetical explosive, letting it explode in their face, and then screaming about it happening.

Yet another product is bound for the #GoogleGraveyard as #Google is incapable of not killing their own products, while Microsoft is enshittifying everything they get the damn hands on. Eventually, even companies using ActiveDirectory, Azure (i.e. the entire MS Stack) will dump #Microsoft if they keep this behaviour up, and there will be no coming back from that.

And then, of course, there's the #AI companies which are as awful as usual

Google and Valve will kill “Steam for Chromebooks” experiment in January 2026

Well, that’s one way to exit beta.

Ars Technica

I’m with @gruber on this one; I don’t trust Google any further than I can toss them: “I trust Google with almost nothing long-term. Mark my words, they’re going to do with this Gmail accounts eventually.”

Google’s shortened goo.gl links will stop working next month

Google will deprecate all links created with its URL shortener on August 25th, 2025. All links made with the tool will return a 404 error message after that date.

The Verge

@waxy Google just cannot keep itself from killing its own products, can it? I'm honestly surprised that YouTube still exists, tbh.

Chrome Beta (multiple Google Account support)
Google Maps Go (lighter, smaller, less resource-intensive instance of Maps)
Gallery
Google Translate
Google Go (supports incognito search & has built-in Reader mode)

Installed a few of these! Now I guess I should start a Google Graveyard countdown for each of them. 🪦 ⏳

Europa is veel te lastig voor Google Nest
Dus dat apparaatje gaat bij de rest
Hardware van Google wil je niet verlangen
