“Google relents: Legacy G Suite users will be able to migrate to free accounts”
What’s that saying? 🤔 Too little, too late?
Already migrated my entire email to iCloud, FYI. If even at this point, Google decided to over an email-over tier, I probably would switch back, but. 🤔
Btw, still haven’t gotten
my letter from HogswartsGoogle’s official email about this. -
“Google to free G Suite users: Pay up or lose your account”
Welp. 😶 I did some looking up and found that Apple has a similar service (Custom Email Domain) that I can just use since I’m already paying for a iCloud+ subscription.
Sidenote:
- From the article: “Starting May 1, Google will try to automatically “upgrade” users to a paid account if it has available billing information.”
- People in the comments are saying that they did not get an email from Google about this (and neither did I).
🤨
(I don’t have any sort of billing associated with my Google Workspace account, but I wonder how many G Workspace folks are going to find out on July 1, that they were automatically subscribed to Google Workspace’s paid tier.)

“Google is building a new augmented reality device and operating system”
The issue I think (as a glasses wearer) a lot of wearable eyewear has is that it generally assumes the person won’t already be wearing glasses. I remember Google eventually fixing this, by letting glasses wearers buy prescription lenses with their Glass. BUT not as a separate attachment for their current, existing glasses. Also how many people really want to walk around in public, looking like a borg?
So good idea. 👍 Bad execution. 👎
