killed-by-microsoft VS waydroid_script

> P.S. Do we make "jokes" about Microsoft killing things off like we do with Google?

Well someone went ahead and made https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

There is https://killedbymicrosoft.info/, though it seems to be missing a lot of older examples like MSN Explorer. They also don't seem to include product renames like the Google one does.

You might want to check https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

Without a source mentioned, I assume you refer to this[1]?

A comparison shows most products that should be dead are on that list.

G, on the other hand, has products actively used and loved by users.

I guess this site could be of interest to some, to have a look at some of the products: https://killedby.tech/

Google has a separate site here as well: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Microsoft also has a site like that: https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

I tried looking up one for Amazon or AWS projects, but only unrelated news articles came up.

I don't really have a horse in the race, though, since all three of the big platforms (and others like Oracle Cloud) are outside of my price point and all my personal projects run on smaller simple VPS providers. From what I can tell, there is not a single large corporation out there with the commitment to never kill a product of theirs and support everything in perpetuity.

libhoudini and libndk are libraries that translate ARM instructions to x86. There's an installation script for Waydroid:

https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

It is also worth to install the following tool on: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

You can install 32 bit translation with libhoudini or libndk. Check here for info.

It installed fine using waydroid-skript

Doing these to setup Play Store, libndk arm translation, Widevine, Android ID, etc. And also install Magisk in it.

I managed to make Waydroid able to play Arknights & Blue Archive by doing this tinkering.

If anyone wants to give it a shot, here's what you need - Install Waydroid - If you're on X11, install Weston (Waydroid can only run on Wayland, but Weston will allow you to run Wayland within X11); run Waydroid by starting Weston, then inside the Weston window open a terminal and run waydroid start session from there - Use an android image with Google Apps installed (or install google apps into your image) - Get rid of the "uncertifid device" error through https://www.google.com/android/uncertified - for this you'll need your android id, which you can get using the following command (after submitting your android id to google you'll need to wait 10-20 Minutes for the changes to take effect. You may also need to wipe the cache of the Google Play Services app) echo 'ANDROID_RUNTIME_ROOT=/apex/com.android.runtime sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main;"' | sudo waydroid shell | grep android_id - Install ARM instruction translation (libndk) into your android image. The waydroid_script tool helps a lot with this: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
