I think it did, or at least in addition to other ways, used Google cloud printing. It's been like a year and a half since i been in it so I don't remember so well anymore.

Bye to another Google product.
Whoa, that seems like a big one.
I agree, very surprised to see this go
And there is nothing on the market to replace it!
Not sure that’s true. I recall some vendor at SW a year or two ago... not sure it was cloud based though.
Papercut is pretty standard from my experience. But I don't remember if that used Google print or not.
Papercut provides a cloud printing service?
Kind of. It has a "driver-less" and Web-based printing GUI. You upload a file to Papercuts and it prints to the printer you selected.
Oh okay, I had no idea. That's nice.

It really is. Doesn't really do what Google's Cloud Print did though.

yeah, likely nothing will do exactly what Google Cloud print did, but you can likely get kinda close.

Hopefully not, Google Print just up and gave up, lol.

Haha Beta

No announcement on their website about ending Cloud Print.

A list of things depreciated in Windows 10: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning/windows-10-deprecated-features
Here's a few that I found interesting:
- Wi-Fi WEP and TKIP
- Windows To Go
- Snipping Tool
- Software Restriction Policies in Group Policy
- Windows Hello for Business deployment that uses System Center Configuration Manager
- Windows PowerShell 2.0

Snipping Tool
Snip & Sketch is installed by default
Perhaps, but if "universal" apps aren't allowed/uninstalled, they'll be up the creek for a bit while they find a replacement.
The Windows Store is a great place to get a malware infection. -

Good. All that that should go.

The only one that was halfway decent was Software Restriction Policies. Being able to whitelist apps was/is a decent tool. I think it's getting replaced with some Intune and SCCM though.

Greenshot is still better. I don't recall the other things that people around here use.

The Windows Store is a great place to get a malware infection.Interesting - I'm going to have to see if my dcrapify script gets rid of snip & sketch.
Though having just looked at it - I don't like it as much as Snipping tool.

@Dashrender Have you looked at ShareX?

We used Papercut for a bit at my last job. Not sure what we use here now.

Hands-on with AMD’s 32-core, 64-thread Threadripper 3970x
AMD's monstrous new Threadripper hammers Intel everywhere it counts—except AI.
AMD's new 32-core/64-thread Threadripper 3970x continues AMD's 2019 trend of sweeping the field in desktop and server processors. In recent weeks, Ars has tested Threadripper head to head versus Intel's top-of-the-line i9-10980XE High End Desktop (HEDT) CPU, as well as its i9-9900KS gaming CPU. To nobody's surprise, the Threadripper is faster—a lot faster—than either, although with some caveats. When comparing the rest of the Ryzen 3000 line to Intel's 2019 desktop CPU lineup, one of the standout metrics is thermal design power (TDP). Non-threadripper Ryzen 3000 CPUs meet or beat the Intel desktop lineup on performance and TDP, which means quieter, cooler systems that don't cost as much to keep running. All that changes once you leave the "normal" desktop line and go Threadripper. With Threadripper, AMD is clearly far more concerned with raw power than niceties like running quiet or cool. -

ShareX is what we use around here.

I've been deploying it as part of the standard image for more than 2 years, it amazes me how many people still don't know about it - and frankly should have bumped into it just by using the printscreen button....
