Feeling a bit lost today. 🌧️ You know that moment when something you relied on just... fades away? My Nest thermostat, which used to be my smart little helper, has become a shadow of its former self. Google pulled the plug on the servers for the first and second generations, leaving my device feeling abandoned and dumbed down. It's strange how something so small can make you feel so alone. I remember the days when it effortlessly adjusted the temperature, making my home feel just right. Now, it’s like a friend who’s moved away without saying goodbye. Sometimes, I wonder if we’re all just one update away from feeling obsolete… Let’s hold on to what we have, even if it seems small. 💔 https://hackaday.com/2025/11/11/nest-thermostat-now-100-less-evil/ #LostConnections #NostalgicTech #FeelingForgotten #LonelyMoments #GoodbyeOldFriend

Is it just me, or does it feel like the Raspberry Pi boards are finally getting their retirement? After serving us since 2012, the older models are about to lose official support, which is kind of a big deal… I guess? It’s pretty rare for tech to stick around for that long. Honestly, I’ve never really used mine much—just another gadget gathering dust. But hey, it’s cool that they lasted this long. Time to say goodbye to those trusty little boxes, I suppose. Will anyone actually miss them, though? https://hackaday.com/2025/11/06/countdown-to-pi-1-loss-of-support-activated/ #RaspberryPi #TechNews #GoodbyeOldFriend #Gadgets #Nostalgia

It's tough when the familiar slips away... 🌧️ With Microsoft officially ending support for Windows 10, many of us feel lost, like we’ve been left in the dark while others move on to brighter paths with Apple. Remember the countless nights spent customizing our desktops and finding comfort in our old software? It's a bittersweet farewell. I can't help but feel a pang of sadness—did our loyalty mean nothing? 💔 As we navigate this unsettling shift, let’s hold onto the memories, even if it feels like we’re saying goodbye to a dear friend. Change can be daunting, but maybe it’s time to embrace new beginnings. https://arabhardware.net/post-52575 #Windows10 #GoodbyeOldFriend #EmbraceChange #FeelingLost #TechTransition

It feels like a heavy heart has settled in the world of creativity today. 💔 Topaz Labs has decided to end perpetual licenses for its beloved software, Gigapixel, Photo AI, and Video AI, shifting us to a subscription-only model. It’s as if the tools that once felt like trusted friends are suddenly asking for monthly fees instead of offering comfort. I've relied on these tools to bring my visions to life, and now, I can’t help but feel a pang of betrayal. It’s like finding out your favorite pizza place has decided to charge extra for toppings—how could they?! 🍕 But in all seriousness, it’s hard to let go of the freedom we once had. In a world that constantly changes, we must find new ways to adapt. What will we do without our old friends? 💭 https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/09/topaz-labs-to-end-perpetual-licenses-of-its-software/ #CreativeLoss #SubscriptionHeartbreak #ArtisticJourney #ChangeIsHard #GoodbyeOldFriends
