Looks like a GCP-wide outage. And you can't tell them because their ticketing system at https://cloud.google.com/support/ is down too :-)

#12The timing of this is interesting, one day after the DoJ announcement. A reminder of how important Google is to us, and how we shouldn't be jeopardizing it with anti-trust probes /s.

#13Snapchat is also having issues, I believe they are also on GCP. And as of this post, https://status.cloud.google.com/ shows no problems. Edit: 1:31 mountain, now it shows an issue with the Compute Engine. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/19003
I'm having issues with the GCP console, but all our GCP services are working without issue. Lots of errors related to spanner popping up in the console. I have seen some reports of Cloud pub/sub not working.
Interesting, this should be a good post-mortem about what happened and why the errors weren't showing up on the status dashboard.

Not familiar with Nest. Does your thermostat not work if your internet doesn't work?
Not from my phone. I have to get up and change it, but it's too hot and I don't wanna move
It’s funny. I have this little thing on my desk that lets me adjust the air conditioning, and it doesn’t rely on wifi or internet access or any “clouds”... it’s called a “remote control”.
If you’re silly enough to rely on internet access to change the temperature in your house you deserve to be hot.

I wonder why everyone seems to be using Gmail. Nobody I know (mostly in Germany) really uses a Gmail-address except for registering their Android device.
Why is it so popular elsewhere?

#16Another post is saying youtube is down as well
Videos played for me, but none of the surrounding text (comments, playlist, etc) was there.

It's free, easy to use, and normally fast and reliable.
What's popular in Germany?

Re: Gmail Experiencing Issues
#19Google's G Suite Status Dashboard is here: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status
Shows Gmail, Calendar and Hangouts with service disruptions.
EDIT: 3 minutes later, and now Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Voice are showing disruption too. Cascading.
EDIT2: 21:07 UTC - All above services plus Google Sync are now showing service outage (red).

The doors at my work open with an app. It connects through the internet.
My phone switches from mobile data to wifi as I get near the door, causing a several second wait. Now I hit the button before I reach the wifi and then run to the door to try to get it before it locks again.
Hopefully we never lose internet...
