RIP: Google finally sets a timeline for burying Reminders

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-05 22:19:40

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google recently confirmed the timeline for the complete transition from Reminders in Calendar to Tasks. Soon, the reminders you create in Google Keep will be saved directly to Tasks. With Google Keep being the final service using Reminders, the latter will likely be deprecated after the transition is complete. Google has a longstanding tradition of dispensing different apps with duplicate functionality and then killing the more prized variations. That app

A laptop is a college staple, and there's no way around it. Choosing a laptop for school is a big commitment because while you want it to last all four years and offer great speed and function, you need to find one that suits your major or degree program. Be sure to check out your program's website (or contact a department chair) to see if there are any recommended laptops, operating systems, or specs.

I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)
