Now imagine if you bought one of these.
Is there any Google project outside of early search and Gmail they did right?
Maps and Photos are ok IMO. Slowly getting shittier though.
Maps were bought by Google from different company. Photos is AFAIK actually made by them.
Photos as an online photo gallery is their implementation yes but they bought up Picasa the desktop gallery early on. That software included tagging and I believe face recognition by the end.
Picasa, now that's a name I haven't heard in a llooonnngggggg time
Photos is cool but weirdly much lower than every other gallery app.
For local gallery. Simple gallery is better.
But for searching your photos, Google photos is still pretty great.
I highly suggest taking a look at Aves for a local gallery app. I use it in combination with Immich.
Yep those are the two I use!
Wasn't Google Photos super racist a few years back?
And many others I miss. It's a bit mind boggling how many things this corp has done. They have killed so many and there still so many yet, and many open source projects.
Well when you hoover up companies left and right...
I wouldn’t include Tensorflow in the list. Tensorflow’s dates are numbered too.
Google internally all but switched to JAX.
