They say they integrated the learnings from Inbox into GMail, but they didn't, they integrated all of the useless crap (auto replies) and none of the useful things: pinning and a general UI that encourages zeroing unreads. Inbox was entirely based on existing GMail infrastructure, but they shut it down shortly after launching it.
I very much fail to see how that in any way would be indicative of them deciding to shutting down GMail, that will only happen if they loose enough users so it no longer are profitable or if they will launch a new e-mail service (highly unlikely but not impossible, and if so then at least the service of e-mail is still something that they will offer).

It's the 14 M1 Pro. The problem is that the manual for M28U mentions supported resolutions and refresh rates for HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4. I can't find any details what's the limit for the USB-C port. I know it runs 4K 60 with PD (though only 15 W), but Gigabyte is quiet on the limits. Not even what type C cable to use. I have a 10 Gbps cable, but that's obviously not enough. I might eventually buy some 40Gbps cable and see where it leads me. But this is guess work at this point.

Unfortunately M28U KVM is a bit dodgy and switching does not work perfectly

That is not why the build instructions tell you to use that slot. The reason is that this specific 16x slot goes directly to the CPU while the others goes via the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) which is not just one more chip to go through but also a chip that have a much lower bandwidth than the direct to CPU lane the first slot have. We are not at GPU speeds yet where latency over inches matter (electrical signals travels at around 10 inches per nanosecond).

Me and several of my relatives have low-mid computers and fast internet, so Stadia would have been okay for us.
But I figured it wasn't worth trying at all unless it was wildly successful in the first year. I figured otherwise, just as I got used to it Google would kill it.
So I'm the 30th person, give or take, on this discussion thread who saw this Stadia execution notice coming from miles away.
I would NEVER consider renting through Internet the ability to use my GPU as I wish.Last edited by piorunz; 01 October 2022, 03:57 AM.

Here's something positive:
"While Stadia will shut down on January 18th, 2023, we're happy to share that we're currently working to bring the games you own on Stadia to PC through Ubisoft Connect," Ubisoft senior corporate communications manager Jessica Roache told The Verge. "We'll have more to share regarding specific details as well as the impact for Ubisoft+ subscribers at a later date." Google has already shut down the Stadia store, so if you were thinking of buying an Ubisoft game, getting a refund, then gaining access to the PC version for free, you're out of luck. Ubisoft hasn't revealed when it will offer Stadia players access to their games on Ubisoft Connect. It also hasn't confirmed whether Stadians will be able to transfer their save data over to PC. That said, the Ubisoft+ subscription service includes a cloud save feature, so hopefully the company can figure out a way to maintain players' progress if they switch to a PC version.

Stadia had completely stupid strategy with battling against consoles/PC's in wealthy regions that people can buy hardware just fine; even if they are belong to lowest paycheck group. Hell, even that a kid can get a very decent PC that can handle recent AAA's just fine ( no less than 60 fps ) with just mowing lawn for a month or maybe a little bit more than that.
So that is where Stadia chose to compete and ultimately failed. Why would a person living in such region would give up on local gaming when local gaming is easily accessible and superior to cloud gaming in nearly every way?
So ultimately i think implying that people on poorer areas would pirate games anyways is a very dumb thing to imply.
If anything, most common electronic device on such places is Android smartphones. Where as on countries like USA it is Iphone; which is considered as a premium on poor countries due to crazy price difference.
