Google Is Turning Off the Works-with-Nest API

No but Microsoft used to be untouchable too. They've come back a bit under Nadella who seems to understand why people use his product. I never thought I'd see the day where I trusted MS more than Google but wow has Google just become a scummy, unreliable company since Alphabet.

I've gone from considering MS outright evil to being unconcerned about being their customer.

While with Google I now find myself actively worrying about how to avoid their services before they break things I depend on. I certainly will not use any new services from Google... It feels like the world has turned upside down.

Agreed. Microsoft had the whole “embrace, extend, extinguish phase” but Google really took it to the next level.

Now it’s just “acquire, extinguish”
