Google's link shortener is officially dead

-
...

The Google URL Shortener (goo.gl) was launched in December 2009, originally intended to be used with Google Toolbar and Feedburner. However, the need for link shorteners has largely gone away over the past few years, and goo.gl started to wind down last year. It was already unavailable to new users as of May 2018, but now it's gone for everyone.

Existing goo.gl links will still work, but it's now impossible to create new ones. The company recommends that app developers switch to Firebase Dynamic Links, and users to switch to Bit.ly and Ow.ly. Rest in peace goo.gl, you had a good run.

OnePlus 6T Review: Still the Value Buy

The OnePlus 6T is the biggest launch yet for the one-time underdog out of China. After years of selling their phones directly and unlocked, OnePlus has now found a carrier partner (T-Mobile) and also opened up their phone to usage on Verizon's network here in the US. So even though the hardware isn't a massive upgrade over the OnePlus 6, which was released only a few months ago, the reach for the OnePlus 6T is a big, big deal. But we're not necessarily here to talk about how big some carrier deals and connectivity are for OnePlus. We're here to tell you if the OnePlus 6T is the phone you should buy. In short, the OnePlus 6T remains the king of value. The OnePlus 6T isn't the best phone you can buy, though, but it is a really good one. Let's dive deeper in – this is our OnePlus 6T review. The Good Specs Overall, the specs list for the OnePlus 6T is right up there with the best of them. You've got a big full HD display, Snapdragon 845 pro...

After the collaboration with Disney that led to the birth of the OnePlus 6T Avengers Edition, the company of Pete Lau and Carl Pei have announced a new collaboration. This time with a well-known brand of sports cars and giant of Formula 1: McLaren. A OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is coming, what should we expect? Have you ever heard of OSIRIS? Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Yes, I have! Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Never heard of it. Not much, actually. From past experience, we can imagine the new limited edition OnePlus 6T as a simple new color variant. As with OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition and OnePlus 5T Star Wars, I'm sure it's nothing more than a new finish for the device's body without any special changes to the specifications. The collaboration between ...
