#72It's times like this that force us to remind ourselves how reliant we are on critical services like these. On one hand, we can celebrate (Internet snow-day!) but on the other we are forced to shop around for alternatives too.
I often wondered how medieval the world would become if there was a huge sun flare ejection that breached the magnetic field and destroyed a bunch of data-centers. Think of the mess we'd be in!

#73Yep. Wife: My Apple Maps isn't working. Me: Hmm, it's not working for me either. They must be having server problems. You should use Google Maps for now. Wife: I can't download Google Maps either, the App Store doesn't seem to be working.
Both Apple Maps and Google Maps work in the browser, no need for an app.

Yeah I posted about that here (this just bit me) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30757193 and I was flagged to oblivion. Looks like I really need to keep a 3rd party nav app installed just in case!
Always. Here maps is a good backup solution. It allows you to download pretty much the entire world - if you have the space in your phone.

#76iCloud Private Relay is shown as affected as well. This is an interesting case when it comes to failure behavior. From security perspective, you want your connection to stop working instead of falling back to insecure. Is this the case? Can anyone confirm?
It fell back to insecure for me, for about 30 seconds (maybe longer before I noticed) I couldn’t connect to the Internet from my iPhone, then I got a notification saying private relay was unavailable and I was able to connect again.
A few minutes later it gave me another notification saying private relay was working again.

#77I've been struggling with a DNS downtime at Mediatemple all day. Is there a possible more global DNS issue?

Can Android read a .ipa? Or is it illiterate?
Can Linux (natively) read a .exe? Or is it illiterate?
Can Windows read a .app bundle? Or is it illiterate?

yes yes and yes (to the second questions)
But Linux is not illiterate if you have common sense

iCloud Private Relay is not designed to be a full-fledged VPN anyway. HTTPS traffic in apps (other than browsers) bypasses it AFAIK.
